Policy Provisions
1. Check-out

Students moving out of a residence hall must officially check-out. All students will do an express check-out from the residence halls. All personal possessions must be removed from the room before you check-out. Improper check-out will result in a $25 fine.

Things to check when moving out:
  • Remove tape, nails, etc., from walls, doors, ceilings, windows, desks, shelves, dressers, etc.
  • Empty and clean closets, cabinet and drawers.
  • Empty trash cans. Large items must be taken by residents to an off-campus site for disposal.
  • Clean your floor.
  • Debunk/unloft beds
  • Personal property left in the room or residence hall after the closing of school in the spring or following withdrawal or graduation becomes property of Cumberland University and will be disposed of at the discretion of the University.

Fines will be assessed for any item/room left in an unacceptable state according to the Director of Residence Life. For a copy of the fine information, please contact the Director of Residence Life.

Residence halls close at 5 PM on the Friday following final exams. Exceptions to this policy will be made on an individual basis by the Office of Residence Life and will be subject to a $25 guest fee per night. All requests for exceptions must be made by 5pm, seven days prior to the last day of finals. Students who are violating University or residence hall policies once their academic requirements are complete will be asked to leave the halls immediately. This policy includes graduating seniors and students approved to stay late.

Graduating seniors are allowed to stay in the residence halls until 5 PM on the Saturday of graduation. Seniors who are still here after 5 PM will be charged an automatic $25 improper check-out fee. For every half hour after 5 PM that students have not checked-out there will be an additional $25 charged for guest fees. All campus policies are still in effect throughout the weekend. Anyone deemed to be causing a problem will be asked to leave immediately.
