Check - Out

Each resident student is responsible for officially checking out of their campus housing 24 hours after their last exam or by 9:00 PM on May 9th, whichever comes first. The process to do this is very simple. During finals week (May 4th – 9th), Residential Learning staff will be available to complete your checkout process during the following times:

All Graduating Seniors will follow the checkout schedule below:

*Graduating Seniors do not need to submit a checkout extension request form.

Non-Graduating students must complete a checkout extension request in order to stay later than May 9th.  This includes all students associated with commencement proceedings as well as Summer Session 1 & 3 students, who must checkout between 12:00 PM and 7:00 PM on May 15th.  To submit a checkout extension request online, please visit www.rowan.edu/rlws and click on the extension request link to fill out the online form.  This must be submitted no later than May 1st to be considered.

The locations for checkout during these posted hours will vary from building to building and will be advertised by your building staff. IT IS MANDATORY FOR EVERY RESIDENT TO CHECKOUT. Any resident who does not check out during an advertised checkout time will be issued a $75.00 improper checkout fee.

All students need to return their keys when they complete their checkout process. If a student does not return their key and does not checkout, they will be charged an improper checkout fee as well as a charge for a lock change.  Lock change charges range from $50.00 to $180 depending on complex.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RETURN YOUR KEY BY MAIL. THEY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AND THE IMPROPER CHECKOUT AND LOCK CHANGE CHARGES WILL APPLY.

Please contact your Residence Hall Director with any questions. Good luck on your finals!
