Express Checkout
Normally, students are expected to meet with their Resident Assistant (RA) to walk through your room and note any damages. Students can instead do an express checkout if they cannot checkout with an RA (or feel they don’t need to). Each room will still reviewed for damages, and students who use express checkout cannot contest any charges that are assessed based on any damage in their room.
In addition to printing one yourself, you can get the Express Checkout Form from your RA, the Residential Life office, or Security. Return the form with key attached the Residential Life office, Security, or in-person to your RA.
