These guidelines are intended to aid student
residents in preparing for the final inspection by
the director of student housing operations or
designee. Some items listed below may not apply to
a given student resident’s situation. Completion of
the following items will greatly reduce the
likelihood of move-out charges being assessed. If
there are any additional concerns, contact the
director of student housing operations or designee
prior to the move-out inspection. Failure to remove
all personal items or clean properly may result in
move-out charges, as defined in the Collin College
Student Housing Lease Agreement.
Bathrooms
Thoroughly clean the floors, sinks, shower/tubs,
and toilet fixtures.
Flooring
Sweep and mop all vinyl and tile flooring. DO NOT
USE WAX on any flooring. Clean and remove dust
from baseboards throughout the apartment.
Vacuum carpets thoroughly. It is not necessary to
have the carpets shampooed. However, if the
carpet is heavily stained and has wax or gum
imbedded in the fibers, the student resident(s) may
want to schedule a professional carpet cleaning.
Contact the director of student housing operations
or designee for a list of suggested carpet cleaners.
Units which only have regular wear and tear will
not be assessed a carpet cleaning fee. Special
instructions may be given at the time of pre-
inspection regarding additional carpet care.
Kitchen
Thoroughly clean all appliances and cabinets. Clean
all countertops and sinks.

Walls and Doors
Remove any scuffmarks, crayon, food, and other
debris from the walls. Do not attempt to fill or patch
nail holes. Door moldings and knobs should be
clean and free of dust.
Windows
Thoroughly wipe all windows and window
coverings (this includes blinds, windows, and
screens), removing all dust, marks, and streaks.
In addition, remove dirt and debris from window
tracks and locks.
Parking
Vehicles must display a valid Collin College parking
sticker in the designated place (i.e., lower left-hand
corner of the rear windshield). All surface (street)
parking is unassigned, unless otherwise specified
by signage. Do not idle or park in fire lanes. Do not
park in a “Reserved,” “Visitor,” or “Handicapped”
parking space unless eligible. Tickets will be issued
and fines must be paid. Cars not eligible to park in
these spaces may be towed, at the owner’s expense.
When entering or leaving the Collin College Student
Housing community, student residents are
required to operate their vehicles at a speed not to
exceed 20 miles per hour. Observe all traffic and
parking signs, as the streets throughout the
community are accessible to the public and
emergency vehicles.
Traffic enforcement throughout the Collin College
Student Housing community is managed by the
Collin College Police Department. In compliance
with the Texas Education Code 51.207 (b), Collin
College has procedures for enforcing State of Texas
vehicle inspection laws for vehicles parking or
driving on campus.
Boats, campers, commercial vehicles, moving
trucks, recreational vehicles, storage units, trailers,
and 18-wheelers may not remain on Collin College
Student Housing or Collin College property, except
for purposes of loading and unloading.
