Before you leave, please complete this checklist.

• If you are returning to your room for the spring semester, keep your key with you. You will use the same key to access your room in the spring.
• Close and lock windows and leave blinds closed. Be sure your windows latch and lock properly—if they do not, let your RA know immediately.
• Turn the heat on and the fan to low. The temperature must be set in the middle (we recommend you set it at 70 degrees, but no lower).
• Remove all perishable food items from your room.  Be sure that all perishable food items are also removed from refrigerators.
• Empty the trash and take the recycling out.
• Unplug all items in your room except for your mini-fridge. Please be sure that you have thrown away any perishable items from the fridge.
• Clean your room, bathroom and common living area - Cleaning supplies are available at your area front desk. If your bathroom is dirty, you may be billed for custodial staff to come in and clean it.
• Take valuables & medication home with you.
• If living on upper campus, it is suggested to move your car to the 813/814 (Lot 87) Sage Point parking lot so grounds staff can plow the parking lots.
• Close and lock your bedroom and suite door.

NOTE: If you have a vacant space in your room or suite:  You should expect a new roommate for the spring. Please be sure the common areas have space for your new roommate and that they will feel welcome upon arrival in January.
