Move Out

Check-Out Instructions - Spring 2012

All residents without a summer contract must check-out of their rooms within 24 hours following their last final exam or by noon on Saturday, June 16, 2012 at the latest.

Step 1: Either sign up for a Walk-Through or plan to complete an Express Check-Out.

Express Check-Out: Express Check-Outs are a good option for residents who are unsure about the date or time they plan to move out and need extra flexibility. If you choose to complete an Express Check-Out, you will return your keys in an Express Check-Out envelope to the Montgomery Desk (between 9am – midnight) or the Housing Office in 210 Broadway (24-hour drop-box). Staff will complete a Walk-Through of your room after you have moved out, and you will be unable to appeal any charges for damages or cleaning in your room.

Walk-Through: Walk-Throughs are a good option for residents who believe there may be cleaning or damage charges in their room, and/or know when they plan to have their room cleaned and belongings moved out. During a Walk-Through RAs will check the room for damages and cleaning needs, while the resident is present. Residents must have their belongings out of the room before a Walk-Through can be completed. Appointments are required for Walk-Throughs, and must be made by June 4, 2012 at the Montgomery Desk.

Step 2: Thoroughly clean your room (see the checklist at pdx.edu/housing) and remove all garbage and personal belongings. You may not leave items behind to pick up later or for the next occupant to use. Anything remaining in the room will incur charges for removal. Furniture removal will cost $250 per item.

Step 3: Check out of your room through completing an Express Check-Out or a Walk-Through (see step 1).

If you made a Walk-Through appointment, you will meet the RA at either Broadway 210 (Ondine & Broadway residents) or the Montgomery Desk (all other residents). You must return your keys to Broadway 210 or the Montgomery Desk with an RA, immediately following your Walk-Through. You will complete all check-out paperwork at this time.

Parking: Residents moving out must obey all PSU and Portland parking regulations. You may get a 30-minute loading zone permit at the Parking kiosks or Transportation and Parking Services.

Trash, Recycling & Dumpsters: Additional dumpsters and recycling bins will be placed around campus, including the Broadway loading zone, on the west side of Montgomery, South of Blumel, and at 6th and College. You are encouraged to utilize donation services through Goodwill or other charities, but belongings should not be left in the buildings. Residents will be charged for removal of furniture and trash left in the common areas of their communities.
