Move Out Guide

Farewell to our Residence friends and family, it’s been another fantastic term here at Algonquin College Residence!

To assist you in moving out , we’ve made a handy guide.

Move Out Checklist

  1. Check your drawers, under your bed, cupboards in the kitchen and bathroom, behind your dresser, to ensure that you have packed all your items.
  2. Don’t forget to take your bicycle home if you brought one.
  3. Remove any additional furniture or larger items you may have added to the room – please do not leave these items behind. A fee will be added to your account for removal of any large items left behind.
  4. Replace residence furniture to the position it was in when you moved in.
  5. Remove all trash and recycling from your suite and dispose of in the dumpsters outside in Lot 10. A fee will be added to your account for removal of trash left in the suite.
  6. Lightly clean your room and common areas. A fee will be added to your account for cleaning of any excessive mess left behind.
  7. Report any damages to the front desk. Regular wear and tear is to be expected but if you accidentally made a hole or other damage, please let us know about it. Fees may apply for excessive damages.
  8. Close your bedroom window, turn off lights and set the thermostat to a neutral temperature (20c).
  9. Lock your door and return your bedroom key to the front desk.
  10. Settle your account with the front desk and check-out.
  11. Have a safe trip home!

Move Out Assistance

You are welcome to invite people to help you move-out from residence. To avoid overcrowding in the halls and elevators, we ask that you limit helpers to 2 people.

We do not have carts to lend each student, so we recommend you bring your own trolley or luggage on wheels. Limited carts may be available from the front desk but please don’t rely on one being available as they will be in very high demand.

No Storage

Your room must be completely vacated upon your departure.

The Residence does not store or forward belongings. Anything left behind after you check-out will be discarded.

Mail

Don’t forget to check with the front desk for any mail which we may be holding for you. The Residence does not forward mail and any uncollected mail will be returned to sender.

Don’t forget to update your mailing address with Amazon and other online ordering platforms or subscription services. Mail delivered for you after you move-out will also be returned to sender.

Garbage

Please dispose of all garbage and recycling in the dumpsters and trash cans located in Parking Lot 10.

If you have any unwanted personal items or furniture, please do not leave them in your suite. There are several thrift stores nearby that would love to receive your donation, otherwise, please dispose of unwanted items into the dumpster.

We appreciate your cooperation in properly disposing of garbage and recycling directly to the correct dumpster.

Key Return

  1. Once you have completely vacated your suite with all belongings removed, please lock your bedroom door and return your bedroom key to the Front Desk.
  2. At the Front Desk, please fill out a key envelope to enclose your keys for return.
  3. If the front desk is busy – no sweat – just leave your sealed and fully-filled-out key envelope in the key drop box.
