A Message from the Housing and Residence Life Team:
Thank you for being a part of our residence community! Now that you are leaving, we hope we can make your move-out a smooth and easy process!
If you are withdrawing and moving out prior to the end of your contract, please review our Cancellation/Withdrawal information and contact resservices@uwindsor.ca if you have any questions or concerns.
If you need a few extra days to move-out at the end of the term, you must submit an Extension Request Form for approval (the Extension Form is available at end of term; prior to exams). Note: Extension requests are not accepted at end of summer term except for students moving to new room assignment for the next term. Monitor your email for further information.
Checking Out
When checking out…
- Follow the instructions on the signage in your building lobby area to complete the ‘self-checkout’ process; this must be completed prior to leaving residence
- Then place your keys in an Express Check Out Envelope and place it in the designated mail slot
- These envelopes can be found by the lobby of your Residence building in the black mailbox by the student mailboxes
- Note: Charges will apply for improper/no self-checkout ($125) and/or if you do not return your keys ($125 + $10 per key)
-
Please limit the number of people who come to help you move out to ensure those still completing exams are not disturbed
-
If you have a roommate/suitemate, please ensure they are aware of when you have people in your room
- Clean and tidy your room
- Empty the garbage and recycling
- Empty and clear your fridge (do not unplug the fridge)
- Remove tape from ceiling, walls, and doors
- Return furniture to original position
- Close your windows and lock your door
- When ready to leave room for final time, take room condition photo to include with your self-checkout
