Move Out Information

Check Out Procedures

Clean your suite/apartment

Make sure the entire suite/apartment is CLEAN and EMPTY before attempting to check out. The RA’s will not proceed with the check out if this is not done.  Clean means the floors are swept and mopped, the walls are wiped clean, all tape and residues from the walls are removed, bathrooms cleaned, mirrors wiped, toilets cleaned and rinse out recycling and trash bins. If you are in an apartment all refrigerators/freezers must be defrosted and cleaned but kept running. All dishwasher, stoves, and ovens must be cleaned at the time of check out.

Microfridges

All microfridges at UC and the Wabash Building must be defrosted and cleaned before leaving, but left plugged in.

Check out at UC

All student can check out through Express Check Out (sign up at the Resident Services Desk) or you can check out with an RA. Click here for move out information for UC.

Check out at Fornelli Hall

All students will need to sign up for a check out time in the Management Office by May 1st, 2013. Make sure your apartment is clean and empty at that time. A resident will receive an improper check out fee if the student is more than 10 minutes late for their scheduled check out time, if a student fails to sign up for a check out time with Fornelli Hall Management, or if a resident fails to show up for their check out appointment. When you check out make sure you return all keys to the management representative and sign the bottom of the charge sheet. Make sure you complete all the steps as failure to do so will result in an improper check out fee of $125 and mailbox key replacement fee of $50.

Check out at Wabash Building

Once your room is absolutely clean and empty, come to the 14th Floor Recreation Room and find an RA who will then come to your room and check the condition. You will turn in your key and sign off on your room condition form. Make sure you complete all the steps as failure to do so will result in an improper check out fee of $125 and key replacement fee of $25. Click here for move out information for the Wabash Building.

Mail Forwarding

Make sure to forward your mail through the United States Post Office at least two weeks before moving out.

If students are moving out of the Wabash Building we will be doing move outs from April 27-May 2. On May 3rd we will only do move outs from 9am to 12pm from the loading dock or 6-9pm.

Parking

The loading dock of the Wabash Building and UC and front of Wabash Building and Fornelli Hall are available for loading purposes only! Cars need to be attended at all times. The City of Chicago has authority to ticket or tow your cars if unattended. You should plan to pay for a parking space at a nearby lot as parking will be limited near the buildings.
