As you prepare to move out of your space, please ensure you take some time to complete the following:

Clean your room and remove all personal items
Res & Ed Housing expects that all rooms are left in clean condition before students formally move out of their rooms.

Specifically, this means:

• All personal items have been removed from the room, bathroom, common area, and the hallway outside your door
• The refrigerator, microwave, oven, and freezer have been emptied and wiped clean
• Cabinets, dressers, and closets have been emptied
• All trash has been removed from the room/suite/apartment and disposed of properly
• There is no missing or extra furniture in the room
• Your windows are closed and locked
• All lights have been turned off

If you need to still make plans for storage or shipping for your belongings. Dorm Room Movers is the official storage partner of the college. Students who do not leave their room in a clean condition will be charged a $150 fee per resident Any large furniture left in a room that is not college-owned furniture will result in a $50 charge per resident per piece of large furniture that is required to be removed from the room

Submit any facilities maintenance requests for maintenance concerns in your room/suite/apartment.

Please note, submitting a facilities request before spring move-out for a damaged item in your room does not mean you will not be charged for those damages.Students who wish to take responsibility for causing damage to their room should reach out to their Community Director (CD) or email ResEd & Housing at housing@union.edu with their name, ID number, building, room number, a picture of the item they damaged, and a statement taking responsibility for the damage.

If you are not comfortable with your room's condition or your roommate(s) have not yet left and you are not sure they will leave the room in clean condition, please reach out to your CD. They will be able to document this information to include in the final assessment of the space.

• Do not pack items in black or other garbage bags. These items may be mistaken for trash, and items taken to the dumpsters cannot be retrieved.
• Do not leave items unattended in lobbies or other common areas.
• Make a plan with your roommates/suitemates to ensure your space is left in clean condition
• Remember that the college is not liable for personal items left behind. Once student department campus, any items left behind will be considered trash and properly disposed of.
• Keep your ID card in a safe place over the summer to avoid having to pay a replacement fee.
• Summer Housing residents who are not vacating their rooms should remove al items from bathrooms and other commons areas to allow for cleaning.
