Unauthorized Occupancy

Your room is not considered vacated until you remove all of your belongings and return your keys to your Housing Front Desk. If you have lost your keys, you must still check out or notify your Front Desk of your departure date in writing.

You will be charged an unauthorized occupancy fee for each day, or portion of each day, that you remain in your room or residence after the end of your contract period.

  • $175 per day for students in single student housing (graduate and undergraduate)
  • $225 per day for couples or students with children
