WKU Apartment Checkout

---

To officially check out of your apartment, complete an Express Checkout Envelope.

Students can get an Express Checkout Envelope at the front desk. 

 

Student Responsibilities

• The student acknowledges that it is their responsibility to remove ALL personal belongings and trash according to the checkout procedures. The university is not responsible for any personal belongings left behind. 
  
  
• The bedroom, bathroom and any shared areas must be left clean and in good condition, with all furnishings in their original places to avoid assessment of additional charges. Failure to do so may result in an unofficial checkout charge of $150.
  
  
• The student understands that their bedroom, bathroom and any shared areas (if applicable) will be inspected for any change in condition and/or discrepancies from their original apartment inspection. The student may be charged IF the inspection results in a need for cleaning and/or repairs to damages.
