UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
UPDATE: Leaving Temporarily For Winter/J-term Break: |
---|
Residents leaving the residence halls temporarily over Winter/J-term Break who will not return until spring semester need to complete the following tasks before departure:
|
All residents leaving the residence hall are required to check out of their room with hall staff (RA or Hall Director) before leaving campus. The student needs to schedule an appointment with hall staff at least 24 hours, or one business day, in advance. Room key must be turned in at the time of check-out. Failure to properly check out or return your room key will result in financial charges to the student’s account, which may include an improper checkout fee and room re-key fee.
Residents who have withdrawn from the university have 48 hours to check out of their residence hall.
A Residence Life staff member will check to ensure that the student has cleaned their room and will document any damages. Staff members will not check the room until the student has finished cleaning the room and removed all of their belongings.
Residents who fail to follow the checkout procedures outlined will be charged an administrative fee of $50 for improperly checking out. |

The following description should be used by students as a guide to follow prior to checking out of their room:
When a student checks out of their room, the check-in and checkout sections are then compared to help assess damages that may have occurred in the room during the student’s occupancy, beyond normal “wear and tear.”
Public Area Damage: Damage to any residence hall furniture, fixtures, or facilities or damage to property of students living in the residence hall is prohibited. If a student is responsible for damage in public areas of the residence hall, the cost of repair/replacement is charged to the student’s eSIS account.
Resident Room Damage: If anything is damaged, broken or missing at the time of checkout, the resident(s) may be charged to have it fixed/replaced. Staff will use the Room Condition Report completed by the resident at the beginning of the year to compare the condition of the room. Any and all damages that were not specified on the Room Condition Report when the resident moved in, other than normal wear and tear, will be recorded and charged to the student’s eSIS account. If it is not known or cannot be resolved which roommate(s) is responsible for the damage, then the charges will be divided equally between the roommates.
Damage Billing: For checkouts occurring within the semester, damages will be charged to student’s eSIS account immediately after checkout. For end of semester checkouts, those charges will be submitted within a few weeks. Repair/Replacement Cost of Items in Room (see next page) are approximate prices and are subject to change.
