Students can schedule a traditional check-out with their hall CA for Friday, May 8, or Saturday, May 9, from 1 - 8 p.m. Residents are expected to have removed all of their belongings from their rooms and restore their room to its original condition. During your check-out your CA will review the condition of your room and determine if any cleaning or damage charges should be assessed. Bedroom and mail keys will be accepted at this time.

Students need to pick up an express check-out envelope from the Student Life Office, Johnson Hall 112, beginning Monday, May 4. Bedroom and mail keys need to be deposited in the envelope after students have cleaned and vacated the space. Students will then need to sign the envelope and drop it off to the Student Life Office during business hours. Damage and cleaning charges for those who have used express check-out are non-negotiable. Students who improperly check-out of their rooms will be charged $50. This does not include the cost to replace lost or unreturned keys. This charge as well as damage charges will be posted on the student's account. Damage appeals will only be accepted through e-mail at hkeller@culver.edu or fax at 573-288-6470. Appeals must be sent within 30 days after the original charge was posted.
