Courtesy Policy Common spaces (lounges, kitchenettes, washrooms, hallways) are for everyone’s use. Do not leave personal items in any of these areas. Take a moment to clean up any area you have used (ie. put your garbage in the bin before leaving the lounge, do your dishes and wipe off the counter and stove top when you are finished cooking, etc.). Do not leave personal hygiene products (shampoo, soap, towels) in the washrooms.
Commercial Transactions Commercial transactions or soliciting, including gambling, that are not authorized by the Residence Office or the Dean of Students Office, are not permitted in residence.
Moving Out At year end, or if you change rooms or leave residence during the academic year, follow these check-out procedures: • Remove all personal belongings • Leave the room in a clean condition • Schedule a time with your RA to review the room inventory form • Leave a change of address with the mail room and the Registrar's Office • Close and lock your window and door, and turn off the light • Leave your keys with your RA or the Residence Office Room check out and damage assessment is not complete until the RA, a Residence Manager, and the maintenance staff have inspected your room. Information from these three inspections is compiled and damage billing is assessed. You will receive a letter detailing damage fees, should any arise, by mid-June. All regular Student Financial Services Office procedures will apply to overdue or unpaid accounts (see above).
Leaving School If you are thinking about leaving King’s, please reach out and ask for assistance. We may be able to help in making this decision and finding other good options. Contact the Residence Office. To withdraw academically, you must complete the following: • Withdraw from your courses through the Academic Dean; • Withdraw from residence through the Residence Office; • Contact Student Financial Services to make account arrangements. You must be released from your Residence Agreement contract to be eligible for any refund of room and meal plan fees. Normally refunds for room and meal plan fees are made on a 12% declining balance weekly. This means that all fees are forfeit by mid-December.
