Congratulations on finishing out this semester and academic year, with an extra congratulations to those of you graduating! If you reside on campus, to ensure you’re ready for Summer Break, please attend your Resident Assistant’s floor meeting to get the information you need for move-out. Keep a close eye on your Missouri State email, your floor’s GroupMe, and other announcement spaces for information regarding check-out procedures. It’s important to follow these procedures to prevent fines from accruing and to verify you didn’t forget anything. In addition to the information Residence Life staff will provide you with, here are some helpful tips for the move-out process: 

• Pack all of your belongings – double check drawers, closets, etc.  
• Unplug and defrost your refrigerator prior to checking out 
• Clean out all items from the refrigerator & take out all trash items  
• Shut & lock your windows 
• Make sure to wipe down countertops, sweep floors, etc.  
• Keep your Bear Pass in a secure location over the break
