Late Arrival
If you do not arrive and register for your residence room by 5 PM on the first day of classes (when starting in either September or January), your residence room reservation will be cancelled and your $250 deposit will be forfeited. If you know that you will be arriving late you must contact the Residence Life Office and provide written notification (prior to the first day of classes) that you will be arriving late for residence.

Bringing Personal Items
Your residence room will be your home for the academic year; please bring whatever you need to make it comfortable. You are advised not to bring valuable possessions into residence. All personal belongings must be insured (See Part D).

Please be aware that the University does not provide:

• Towels and face-cloths
• Soap and toiletry items for personal use
• Detergent for washing clothes and laundry bag/basket
• Coat Hangers

Note: In the interest of public safety, Saint Mary's, like most universities, has prohibited certain items from use in single student housing. Please refer to list of prohibited items in Part G, Section 4, and the Pest Control policy (Part F, Section 10) for specific details.

Questions to ask your insurance agent:

• Am I covered under my parent's policy while I am away at school?
• For what Amount?
• Are there any restrictions?
• Should I have additional coverage for any valuable items?

be used. Failure to remove these items will result in additional $2.00 fines. This assessment is over and above any damage to the room caused by the use of the prohibited item.

The following 3 adhesives have been approved by the University:

Magic-Mounts: A double-sided adhesive mounting square which can easily be removed from walls, doors and other painted surfaces without damaging the paint. Available at the SMU bookstore.

3M 'Command' Adhesive products: Mounting hooks of various sizes with a special adhesive, which can be removed from the wall without leaving damage/residue (please follow the directions exactly). The hooks are reusable with the purchase of addition adhesives strips. 3M products can be purchased at bookstores, hardware and department stores.

Poster Putty: Reusable adhesive putty available at most department stores (various brand names).

Note: This is not an endorsement by the University as to the efficacy of any of these products and students are encouraged to read and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Check out Procedures
When you move out of residence you must follow the check out procedures listed below. (In rooms/apartments with more than one occupant each student must follow this procedure, not just the last student to leave.)

1. All your personal belongings and garbage must be removed from your room/apartment and you must thoroughly clean your room.
2. Your keys must be returned to the Residence Life Office between 9 am-5 pm, Monday to Friday; after hours and weekends the keys must be returned to the Loyola Residence Desk.
3. Linen should be left folded neatly on your bed.
4. You must make arrangements for the Residence Department to thoroughly inspect your room.
5. All floor surfaces must be swept clean and washed.
6. All wall surfaces must be washed (kitchen, hallways, bathrooms, and bedrooms)
7. The bathroom sink, tub, tiles, and toilet must be scrubbed.
8. The refrigerator must be emptied and wiped out. The freezer must be defrosted and cleaned.

In cases where students fail to follow the check out procedures, the cleaning will be done by University custodians and the student will be billed an appropriate amount for labour and materials.
