Party on the Porch

This Friday May 1st from 2 - 5 PM on the Haven Front Porch we will have final end of the year soiree!

Come out for karaoke as well as free ice cream novelties, root beer or orange soda floats.

Important Closing Details

Please take a few minutes to carefully read the following details:

1. 24 hour quiet hours being Tues April 28 at 8 PM. If you disrupt, you will be written up.

2. You must be out by 24 hours after your last exam, the last exam happening on May 6. This means that unless you have approval to stay, you need to be gone by May 7. Those not approved to stay will be escorted out of the building if necessary.

3. If you need to stay past 24 hours of your last exam, you will need to seek approval from the RD and ARD. You can either get the form you were emailed or go to the post below to download the form. Note that the deadline is today April 29, so you better get it in quick if already have not.

4. Before you check out, you need to have all of your items out of your room. Be extremely careful to not leave anything behind and make sure to clean your room as if you leave items behind or leave your room dirty, you could be charged.

5. For confiscated items that you would like back, you need to email Bill to get approval to get it back. Once you receive that approval, then you need to print out that email and bring it as well as your copy of the confiscation slip to the Main Desk. If you lost your slip, please include that in your email to Bill. Bill’s email is wmwalsh@syr.edu

6. To check out:
A. You need to make sure everything is out of your room
B. You need to make sure that your room is clean
C. You need to make sure that you're ready to surrender your key and SUID dot
D. Fill out the checkout envelope that was put in your mailbox (if you need a new one, email the ARD Courtney ASAP at cebrewst@syr.edu ), put your key inside it and your SUID dot on the outside and give it to the person working the front desk (if no one is there, simply put it in your mailbox). Take great care to check out properly as cutting corners may result in you being charged.

7. Remember to still follow all University rules, as nothing changes during move-out (i.e. emergency exits are still emergency exits).

Request to Stay Late

To make things easier for all, here is the Request to Stay Late Form. Remember, it needs to be handed in to the Main Desk by 5 PM Wednesday, April 29, 2009.
