Check-Out Checklist

Planning ahead for the end of the year!
When looking ahead to the end of the year, you may be wondering how you’ll ever be able to accomplish all the tasks necessary at the end of the semester or May Term. The key is careful planning. Before you are immersed in sessions of intense studying for finals, begin listing all the tasks that need to be done and a timetable for completing them.

Use this checklist to help you get started:

Things To Do Before Finals Week:

Make travel arrangements now. Halls close at the end of Fall Semester at 6:00pm on the last day of Finals. Hall close at the end of the year at 6:00pm on the last day of May Term. For this academic year the halls close on Thursday, December 13, at 6:00pm at the end of Fall Semester and on Friday, May 16, at 6:00pm at the end of May Term.
Begin packing now. Ship home things you won’t need (clothing, books, etc.) or plan to take a load home on a weekend prior to Finals Week. Boxes may be hard to find later -- start collecting them now.
Study! You’ll be busy during Finals Week dealing with last minute details. Don’t put off all your studying until then!
Watch for signs announcing the time and place of an informational meeting discussing check-out procedures. A lot of important information that can make your check-out faster and easier will be given out at this time.
Sign up with your CA or HA for a checkout time on the Friday before finals (Fall or Spring semester) or the Friday before the last week of May Term with your desired checkout time.
Carefully read the check-out instructions and checklist distributed to you from your CA or HA and posted on your floor or building. If you have questions, ask your staff member.

Things To Do During Finals Week:

Observe special 24-hour Quiet Hours designated for finals week. Tell family and friends who may be helping you move about these hours and request their cooperation in keeping the halls quiet for those who are still studying.
Take your textbooks to the Bookstore “Buy Back” program. Watch your bulletin boards for more information.
Take a study break and watch for special Finals’ Flings sponsored by the Department of Residence Life and/or Sodexho Food Service.
Be ready to checkout at the time you agreed to be with your CA, or HA.
Make certain all your belongings are out of the room.
Make sure the room is clean (even if you are the first one to check out)!!
Have a safe trip home!
