Moving Out

If you need to remain in residence beyond your last exam date, you MUST complete the Residence Extension Form.

All applications for extensions must be received no later than 4:00 PM on the last day of classes.  Incomplete applications will not be accepted. A $20 non-refundable fee will be applied for late applications after the deadline.

The form is located within your Housing Portal.  You should see a red button titled "Extension Request." If you do not see the red button, you can click on the Menu tab (three lines) on the far left of the red menu bar under “In Room” options.

 

Please note: We cannot guarantee that all extensions requests will be granted as we begin preparations for our summer semester. Further details on acceptable extension requests (ie. travel in excess of 500km, purchased travel ticket, academic) are listed on the Extension Request form on the Housing Portal. Please be aware that we cannot grant extensions to accommodate a May 1 off-campus lease, so you will have to make alternate arrangements.

Residents who are granted permission for Early Arrival or Late Check-out Extension outside of the Contract term will be charged $35 per night, if approved for an extended term.

 

How to Check Out of Residence

Step 1: Pack what you need and clean your room

• Pack everything you brought with you - leave nothing behind! 
• Clean your room! Remove any garbage and ensure furniture is left the way you found it. You can pick up extra garbage bags at your Residence Desk. Rooms left in unsatisfactory condition may be charged additional cleaning fees. Ensure furniture is put back where it was when you moved into the room. 
• Remove tape, posters, staples, tacks, etc., from all walls, ceilings, furniture, bulletin boards and room door. 
• Return furniture to its original position and take home any furniture that does not belong to Student Housing Services.
• Close and lock all windows and doors. Don't forget to turn off the lights!

 

Step 2: Check your mailbox

Anything left in your mailbox or received after you check out will be returned to sender. 

 

Step 3: Return your keys

Once you've packed everything, take all keys (e.g. room, mailbox, spares) and any signed-out items (e.g. vacuums, irons) back to your Residence Desk.   

Note: West Residence students are to return their keys to the West Residence/Family Housing office at 78 College Avenue, Unit 132, using the envelope provided. 

 

Lost your Keys?  You can still check out at your Residence Desk even if you do not have your residence keys. Please go to your Desk on your check-out date, return any spare keys, and confirm you have left residence on your expected Check Out date. 

 

Improper Check Out Fees

$125 Improper Check Out Fee

This will be applied if you do not complete the check out process and check out at your desk by your expected check out date.

You can always choose to leave residence earlier and check out before your assigned date at no charge. The improper check out fee will be charged if you stay past your expected check out date. 

 

$75 Lock Change Fee

This will be applied if you do not return all your residence keys to the desk upon check out.

If you have lost your keys you must still go to the desk to avoid the $125 improper check out charge. 

 

Additional check out charges if you are found in residence after you have checked out

If you are found in residence after you have already checked out you will be billed the $125.00 improper check out fee, a $20.00 late extension fee and $35.00/night for any additional nights after your expected check out date.
