Clean Checks

Every resident is deserving of a clean, orderly environment. A respectful roommate shares in the responsibility of keeping their apartment clean. When you make cleaning assignments, only those who have failed will be asked to complete a re-check during the next office hours and may be assessed a $5 fee. If an apartment fails several times during the semester, the students will be charged for a full white glove cleaning at the end of the semester. When assignments are not made, all apartment residents are accountable to correct the work. We encourage reviewing assignments during apartment counsels.

Clean check intro week:  All beds must have a mattress cover that wraps under the mattress.  If the property must provide one there is a $35 fee applied to the student account.
