Damage Assessments and Appeals
Damage assessments are completed during May, after students move out of the halls at the end of Spring Semester. Assessments are compared to the room condition report where the student confirmed the condition of the room at arrival. All damage charges are sent to Student Account Services and emailed to students by June 1. Any charges placed on student accounts within 5 business days of notification. Appeals must be submitted in writing by the student with any supporting documentation to housing@westminsteru.edu by July 15.
If a student moves rooms during the year, an assessment will be completed of the old room within one week of checkout with any damages being sent to the student and Student Account Services within 2 weeks of the assessment.
Fire Safety
