An important part of the check in process is completing a room inventory.

Room inventories record the state of your room when you move in.
When you vacate your room, staff will check for damages in coordination with your room inventory and damage charges will be assigned accordingly.

An inventory will have been left on your desk at the start of the semester. Please fill it out and return it to the Residence Life Office.
