BEFORE they return keys to the front office, they should walk through the room with you Residents should sign up with you 24 hours in advance for a pre- checkout appointment (15 minutes) – failure to do so may result in an improper check-out fee of at least $60 Use Doodle for residents to sign up for appointments Have this setup and link sent out to residents by Sunday, May 31 (beginning of week 10 ) Make sure to reflect your own academic schedule, but keep plenty of times available Pre-Checkout Meetings
What you’re looking for: Have they removed all of their belongings from the room/building? Have they cleaned? Is there any obvious damage, if so, who’s responsible? Lock window(s) and door(s) Do NOT take keys—they should return them to the check-out office You’ll sign a 1/8 sheet for them to return to the office with their keys to show the desk staff they completed this step Pre-Checkout Meetings
FOAs will still be assessing spaces for billing Let your RD know if there was anything problematic or if you learned something needed to be billed to a particular person(s) Keep track of residents who have left on your roster If there are residents who haven’t signed up for an appointment or you aren’t sure what their plan is, follow up with them asap Use Doodle for residents to sign up for appointments Have this setup and link sent out to residents by Sunday, May 31 (beginning of week 10 ) Make sure to reflect your own academic schedule, but keep plenty of times available Pre-Checkout Meetings

Someone refuses to/doesn’t have time to complete all the necessary check-out steps? Someone leaves without meeting with me? All the “What ifs…”
