Housing Happenings Closing (Spring 2019) | Page 4

Page 4 Housing Happenings Thank You 2018-19 Residents! As the year is winding down I wanted to say thank you for making this a great year. I cannot believe that in a week finals begin, boxes will be packed and the halls will start to empty. Some of you will head home, others off on some adventure, but no one will be coming home to the halls. Friends will not be down the hallway or up at 2:00am to talk with over a Taco Bell run. As I reflect over the year, I remember the challenges that were presented, but more importantly the fact that we survived them and are moving forward. My hope for you is that once your finals are over and you can breathe again, that you will treasure the experiences and the time that you spent in the halls. I want you to remember the friendships you made, the fun you had, and the stories behind it. For the graduating seniors, I wish you the best of luck as you enter a new phase in your life. For those returning with us, we will see you next year, under our new name “Fresno State Student Housing”. Good luck to you all. Erin Boele Director of Housing Accounting Notice: Students with an outstanding balance on their account will receive a letter in their mailbox by May 9th to contact accounting. Check-out will not be complete until the balance is paid. When will I receive my refund? • Refunds from security deposits will be mailed 3-6 weeks after check-out or refunded to original credit card. • International students who aren’t returning must contact the Housing Accounting office prior to May 1, 2019, for refund details. Keep in mind staff may be entering your room during finals week: • If your roommate or suitemate moves out, our staff will enter to check the condition of the room/suite. • Staff will check microfridges to ensure they have been cleaned properly. • Staff will do very thorough checks for closing – they will look in drawers and cabinets of those who are checking out. • In suites, they will check common areas’ under bathroom sinks, in closets, etc. • If staff find policy violations while doing check-outs, students will be held responsible. Attention Bike Owners: • All residents must take their bicycles home upon check-out. • All bicycle locks will be cut on Monday, May 20, 2019 and turned over as an abandoned bicycle. • Only residents remaining for summer session classes or working at Student Housing as staff can leave their bicycles locked in the bike barn. • In addition, residents must get a summer tag for their bicycle from facilities once their summer stay has been verified. • Please note: Student Housing will not be liable for any bicycles left on the property at any time.
