Damages

Staff will use the Room Condition Report (RCR) to compare the condition of the room from the time of move-in to the time of check-out. Any damages found that were not specified on the RCR at time of move-in will be charged to the student eSIS account. If it is not known which roommate is responsible for the damage, the charges will be divided equally among roommates. Students will be notified via their UWRF email in June with any applicable charges.
