MOVE-IN, CHECK-IN, & CHECK-OUT

AIR CONDITIONERS Students living in all halls except Red Cedar, McCalmont, and North Hall, which are already temperature controlled, are permitted to bring their own air conditioners that meet the guide lines below. There will be a $100 charge per academic year for the use of own air conditioners to cover the utility costs and staff time to inspect installation. All guidelines below must be followed and are based on energy conservation and safety. Type of Unit • Portable floor unit with duct and window covering. Window units are not allowed for safety reasons. • Must be an evaporative unit (unit where water that is collected is exhausted through the window duct). • Maximum BTUs: 8000 ASHRAE (see product specifications and be prepared to show this documentation upon inspection) Installation • Students must apply for an Air Conditioner unit in the Housing Gateway and be approved prior to installation. • Only one unit per room may be installed. • After approval, students may plug-in and place exhaust in the window. • Students must have hard plastic or plexiglass insert in the window to help with energy conservation. Plexiglass or hard plastic often comes with units. If it is not included with the unit or the provided insert is not large enough, plexiglass can be purchased at most home improvement or hardware stores.

• Window inserts must stay in place only by closing the window and using tape provided by the University. • Students cannot use their own tape or attach the window insert with screws, nails, etc. • See table below for the approximate window opening dimensions for window insert. • Screens are left in the window. • Staff will inspect the installation and request residents to make corrections as necessary. • Any installation done without approval or failure to make corrections to installation may result in charges and removal of the unit. • The student approved for the unit will be responsible for any damages caused by the unit. • Air conditioner units are not permitted in climate controlled buildings.

Move-In All move-in instructions for students are communicated to them via their UW-Stout email. Check-In When changing rooms throughout the academic year, residents check-in to their new room by going to the front desk. Here you will get your new keys and can begin the move. Be sure to complete your new room inspection form in the Housing Gateway immediately. Once everything is out of your old room, check-out at the front desk of that hall. Check-Out Whenever a resident checks out of their room, the room should be left in the condition in which it was found. This means that all personal belongings are removed, furnishings returned to their original locations, and room is cleaned. Room set-ups may be found on your residence hall webpage, linked on the Hall Information page of the handbook. Once this has been completed, go to the front desk to check-out. Desk staff will go with you to inspect the room. Failure to follow the process will result in an improper check-out fee, in addition to being assessed for any damages. Residents will be charged for any damages to walls, ceiling, carpet, furniture, and missing items that are found by hall staff, including student staff and custodial staff.
