check-out, you can hire a cleaning kit from reception to

help you! Just bring your Deakin Card with you!

If you have unwanted clothes or

non-perishable food, please bring them to

reception so we can donate them to charity.

Please do not put large rubbish items down the MB shoots or in the BSV

regular bins!

If you have large unwanted rubbish, please make good use of the big skips

located near the futsal court and the BSV car park!

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!

Clean Up Before You Check Out!
