Room Check-out And/or Dismissal Procedures

Students are expected to vacate the building within 24 hours of their last final exam, or within 24 hours of withdrawing from Bevill State, or 24 hours from dismissal from Bevill State. Residents must have special permission from the Director of Student Services if they must stay beyond the 24-hour limitation.

When checking out of a dorm room, the student must follow the check-out procedures listed below and complete a Deposit Refund Request form. Failure to check-out properly will result in the forfeit of the original deposit. The room will be inspected thoroughly in the student’s presence at the time of check-out. At this time, the student must sign a termination or renewal form. If there are any damages to the room, they will be noted and added to the student’s account or taken from the security deposit.

  • Remove all personal belongings.
  • Clean bathroom and kitchen area, if appropriate.
  • Vacuum and mop the floor.
  • Take all trash outside to the dumpster.
  • Close and lock windows and lower blinds.
  • Turn off lights and blower.

  • See a resident hall staff member to turn in the room key and formally check-out.
  • Sign a termination or renewal form.
