No matter when you plan on checking out, you MUST leave your room/studio apartment in a clean and tidy state. For those at BSV and the MB Shared Apartments, your RLs have created cleaning rosters for check-out. You will not only be responsible for cleaning your bedroom, but communal areas as well. Everyone in BSV and MB Shared Apartments will be assigned a specific cleaning task, so please see your RL as soon as possible for details on cleaning expectations. If your room is left dirty or if you do not contribute to the cleaning of common areas, charges will apply and an encumbrance will be placed on your Deakin account. You will not be able to access your results or re-enrol until the charges are paid.
ALSO‌.
If you are checking out at the end of trimester 2, you must finalise your account prior to leaving. Check out on November 2nd is NO LATER THAN 10AM. Failure to do so could result in additional costs.

The end of trimester on res can often prompt large gatherings and celebrations. While we understand the importance of commemorating the end of exams, we would like to emphasise the importance of celebrating respectfully, safely and taking responsibility for your actions. A number of serious incidents have occured around this time in previous years including graffiti and other property damage. These sorts of actions simply should not happen as they are not part of having fun and enjoying time with your friends.
The culprits for these past incidents were found and dealt with the consequences and relevant charges.
For this reason, if an incident is to unfortunately occur, it is always better to come forward and own up to Residences staff immediately.
Incidents such as these can affect not only your place on res, but your place at the university if management choose to pursue the matter. We strongly advise to be respectful of one another, residences property and your own safety while celebrating the end of the year. Have fun, but please always be safe!
We now have several donation bins from the Salvation Army in the MB Bike storeroom. If you have clothes or bedding to donate, please clean and fold items first and then pop them in the bin neatly! Only clothes and linen are accepted. Thank you!
