Tonight was the leadership banquet here at Stevenson University. Leaders and advisors from different organizations across campus came together to celebrate the past year here at the university. We ate a wonderful dinner and went through series of awards from leaders of the year to programs of the year. I was actually nominated for New RA of the Year. Although I didn’t win the award, I was still honored to be apart of the leadership banquet and can’t wait until next year. The theme for this year was Out of This World – the decorations were so cute and I got the coolest water bottle! Woot! Anyway, congratulations to all that won awards and the nominees. Here at Stevenson, we have a community of leaders.
Checking Out?!? April 28, 2011
Posted by Marina in : General, Spring 2011 , add a commentWe’re down to the last week of the 2010-2011 academic year! Good luck on your final exams this week! Please remember that you have 24 hours after your last exam or by Friday, May 6th @ 6pm to check-out. For example, if your last exam is Tuesday, May 3 @ 4pm – you have until Wednesday, May 4th @ 4pm to check-out.
As you are packing your belongings, please keep the following closing procedures in mind. Each suite received a “cleaning agreement form”. This form is used for your benefit to ensure each person takes part in cleaning the suite. Is it important that all suitemates sign the form and divide the cleaning responsibilities among each other. Leave this form on the counter in the bathroom so the Residence Life staff knows which suitemate was responsible for each item on the list.
You have two options for checking-out of your suite:
Express Check Out – This is the quickest and easiest check-out option. If you decide to use Express Check-Out, you are not required to schedule an appointment with an RA. The Express option requires that you pick up the Express Envelope, complete the information on the front, and return the envelope with your room key, mail key, and parking permit. Please return the envelope to the Residence Life Office. Someone from the Residence Life staff will check your room later for damages, that your space was cleaned, and that all your belongings were removed.
Regular Check-Out – This option requires that you schedule an appointment with your RA 24 hours in advance. If you are not present at the time of your appointment or you are not ready to check out, the appointment is considered missed and you will need to complete the Express Check-Out option. During your scheduled appointment, the RA will check the room for damages, make sure you cleaned your space and removed all of your belongings.
Improper Check-Out – (i.e. – you fail to complete the Express Check-out option, make an appointment with an RA, and/or miss a scheduled appointment with an RA) you may subject to a $150 fine. Any check-out after Friday, May 6th @ 6pm will be considered “late” and will result in an improper check-out fine. Starting at 6:30pm on Friday, May 6th, a $25 fine will be added for each increment of 15 minutes until you check-out. All check-outs after Friday, May 6th @ 6pm will be Express Check-outs and the right to appeal damages will be waived.
At this time, the trash rooms have been closed. Please take all your trash to the dumpsters located in the parking lot. Please let an RA know if you have any questions.
