Bedroom – Residence Move Out Cleaning Guide

This guide was put together to help you with your final move out cleaning. We suggest your talk with your suitemates to figure out when they are moving out. This way if they are leaving early they can complete cleaning tasks before they leave. As indicated in the Student Handbook, students are individually responsible for their bedroom and collectively responsible for the common areas.

To receive an ‘Excellent’ cleaning rating your suite/bedroom must be left so that no additional cleaning is required as determined by residence staff during their inspection.
