If you have large unwanted rubbish, please make good use of the big skips located near the futsal court and the BSV car park!

Weekly Challenge Congratulations to Damon Burns for being the first to come to reception and correctly identify what the check out date and time for T2 is and what are the 3 steps you need to take to check out?

Monday 3rd November, 10am.

1.

Check with your RL for common area cleaning responsibilities

2.

Clean your own bedroom thoroughly

3.

Hand in your keys to reception.

The last Q. for Trimester 2 is: How old is the Student Village?

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!
