Residential Life will work diligently ensure your room is in the best possible condition for your arrival. You are also expected to assess the condition of your room at the time of move-in. Each resident must  complete the Room Condition Report (RCR) within 48-72 hours of occupancy. Failure to complete the RCR makes a resident ineligible to contest any damage charges upon Check-Out. You will receive information via email about your Room Condition Report (RCR). It is important that as a resident, you inspect the condition of your room and report the information accurately.

If you arrive during our regular move-in dates and times, your RCR will be available to you upon check-in via your WashU Email.
If you check-in outside of our regular move-in dates and times, you can expect to receive your RCR via your WashU email within two business days.

We use this form to determine if there were any room damages at the time you moved-in. That way, we can ensure you are not held financially responsible for those damages at the end of the academic year, if they are still present. Failure to complete the RCR makes a resident ineligible to contest any damage charges upon Check-Out.

You will complete the RCR according to your housing assignment. For multiple occupancy bedrooms, ensure you evaluate the correct side/area of the bedroom.

Letter “a” housing assignments mean you have been assigned to the left side of the room.
Letter “b” housing assignments mean you have been assigned to the right side of the room.

We will not begin processing room change requests until two weeks after the first day of courses. Complete your Room Condition Report for the space you move into right away.
