Clean Up Before You Check Out! No matter when you plan on checking out, you MUST leave your room/studio apartment in a clean and tidy state at the end of T2!

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!

What Are You Up To? We are still very keen to hear what your plans are beyond T2!

If you haven’t already, please notify reception ASAP if you are: 

staying for T3 (Remember, you don’t have to be studying!)



wishing to extend your stay for just a few extra days/ weeks/months



leaving earlier than November 3rd

This will assist us greatly with preparing rooms for incoming students.
