Please take some time to review and report the Room Inventory and Condition so that way we know if there are any issues in your room. Please be sure you complete this by August 29 at 5 p.m. Not filling out an Room Inventory and Condition Form by the deadline constitutes accepting the room in “as is” condition. Ask your RA if you have questions.
