*Check out at 11 am is required in order to allow custodians to clean for arriving students.

Departure Procedures

BEFORE YOU LEAVE

1) If you wrote a research paper for your course, email a PDF copy to FHL Academic Services (fhlstudents@uw.edu). **Recipients of scholarships from the Mary Gates Endowment (MGE) MUST email us their papers; the MGE Office requires FHL to submit the research papers of all scholarship recipients. By submitting your paper to us, you are giving us permission to archive the report in the open UW digital repository “ResearchWorks.”

2) Return books to the FHL Library.

3) Return everything you got from the Stockroom to its original location in the Stockroom. If it is a piece of equipment, be sure to check it back in on the Stockroom computer before placing it where it belongs (so we know that you returned it).  Everyone should return their own things. Please help Peggy out by putting things back exactly where you found them rather than leaving them with her to deal with!

4) With your classmates, thoroughly clean all lab and research spaces used by the class. Dispose of or return items in refrigerators, freezers, fume hoods, and ovens. Drain and rinse sea tables and tanks (no soap). If possible, return animals to where they were collected. Wipe down all surfaces in the lab.

5) Hand all containers of chemicals to your instructors!

6) Clean up and clean out all other FHL spaces you used (including refrigerators, freezers, hoods, and ovens, cold rooms, Student Shop, dock, outdoor tanks, etc.). Dispose of or return items. Drain and rinse sea tables and tanks (no soap).

7) Remove all trash and recycling from your housing – dorm room or hut, and common housing space (e.g. dorm hallways). Dispose of it in the dumpsters behind the Commons.

8) Clear out any food you have in FHL refrigerators.

9) Fill out and submit the FHL Evaluation, an anonymous form that allows you to let us know whether and how FHL facilities and staff met your needs.

WHEN YOU LEAVE

10) Leave the door to your dorm room ajar so custodians can begin cleaning.  Do not do this for hut doors, as wildlife may enter and cause havoc.

11) Drop your room/hut key off at the Key Drop box outside the Commons.
