Opening & Closing
This page contains information about specific opening
and closing dates, as well as general opening and
closing procedures. Please check back for
announcements and specifics as these dates approach.
The opening and closing dates of the halls and
apartments for 2006-2007 are as follows:
Friday, August 25--New Students move into Darnall and
Harbin Halls
Saturday, August 26th--New Students move into Village C
West and New South Halls. Transfer students move
in.
Sunday, August 27th--Upperclass students move into their
assignments across campus
Residents move out 24 hours after their last exam,
but no later than noon on Thursday, December 21st.
Residents may begin moving back in at noon on
Tuesday, January 9th.
For non-graduating students--move out 24 hours after
your last exam or by noon on Sunday, May 13th (whichever
comes first)
For graduating seniors--move out by noon on Monday, May
21, 2007.
The residence halls and apartments open and close
each semester. The halls are not open during
winter holidays.
Opening is an important time for residents to get to
know each other, to meet their RA or AM, to establish
community agreements, and to settle into their living
situation.
Similarly, closing is an important time to say
goodbye, to clarify plans for the next semester (or
post-graduation), and to completely move out of your
space.
Residential Condition Reports (RCRs) are a vital part
of opening and closing. Residents can use these to
enter any pre-existing damages when they move in.
Similarly, Residence Life staff use these records to
note any new damages that have occurred throughout the
year, including cleaning damages, for which residents
might be charged.
Please take the time to carefully fill out your RCR
when you move in. Residents can be charged
significant amounts for damage, so you want to be sure
to note anything that was damaged when you moved in.

ROOM
ENTRY AND INSPECTIONS:
The general cleanliness, upkeep and
condition of residence halls and University townhouses
is important to the health and welfare of the Georgetown
University community. To ensure this goal, the
University reserves the right to enter a student’s room,
apartment, or townhouse for administrative, safety, and
regulatory purposes.
Members of the University Staff may
enter a student’s residence for administrative purposes
such as, but not limited to, facility repairs;
furniture, maintenance and safety inspections; furniture
delivery; and general housekeeping. After knocking and
waiting for a reasonable length of time, entry may be
made. If a resident is not present, a note will be left
indicating the person(s) entering and the reasons for
doing so.
Students are encouraged to complete a
room, apartment, or town- house condition report when
they arrive in order to document the condition of their
residence prior to move-in. All residence hall rooms,
apartments, and townhouses will be inspected by the
Residence Life staff before or during the Christmas
break and again before Spring closing. A final
inspection will be made after the residence halls close
in the Spring.
Any assessments for damages or missing
items not previously noted on the room, apartment or
townhouse condition report will be charged to the
resident’s student account or to his/her security
deposit, as appropriate.
Residents are also responsible for the
common areas in their residence hall, apartment or
townhouse and for any damages, loss, theft, or
extraordinary maintenance or housekeeping services
required. If the charges for same cannot be assigned to
an individual, a prorated share of the cost will be
charged to each student. Students also may be fined for
moving furniture from common areas.
Students may not add satellite dishes or
antennae or make any other structural modifications to
University properties. If any such additions or
modifications are made, the University reserves the
right to remove and restore the property at the resident
students’ expense. |
