Moving out made easy

The Staff at Wolfson Hall would like to take this opportunity to wish you well for the future. We hope you have enjoyed your stay with us and that you will have good memories of your time in Glasgow. To make your check-out as smooth as possible we've put together this guide as a checklist and reminder of your responsibilities.

When do I need to check out of my room?

You must clear your room and return your keys by 1000hrs on your contract end date. Our next contract end date is Friday 13 June 2025.

You can leave before then, if this is more suitable for you. Please be aware that you will be liable for accommodation fees until the contract end date.

Returning your keys

Please return your keys to the Wolfson Office in a small key envelope which you can collect from our reception.

If there is no one at the office, please put your keys through the office door letter box.

You may be charged for the fitting of a new lock to the property if all keys are not returned by 1000hrs on Friday 13 June 2025.

Forwarding address

We can’t be held responsible for forwarding your mail or parcels once you have left the residences.

Please advise friends, family, bank, the University and your GP of your change of address and make arrangements to have your mail re-directed.

Due to the large volume of mail we cannot store or re-direct mail. Any mail that arrives will be returned to sender.

Cleaning your bedroom

• Leave your room clean and tidy.
• Remove any posters/decoration carefully. You may be liable for charges to damaged paintwork.
• Remember to check all cupboards and drawers carefully.
• Dispose of any rubbish and recycling in the correct manner by placing it inside the bins in the courtyard. Do not leave it anywhere in the building. 
• Leave your shared kitchen area clean and completely free of rubbish and recycling. Remember to empty and clean cupboards and also to remove any food from the fridge. 
• If you have any additional, non-university, furniture please remove this along with you other belongings.
• Please take your bedding with you.
• If your bedroom had a desk lamp, please leave it in your bedroom.
• If you have re-arranged the bedroom furniture, please return it to the original position prior to final departure.
• A charge will be made to all occupants if communal areas are not left in a clean and tidy condition.

Rubbish

If you leave rubbish in your room or flat a charge of £10 per bag will be added to you account. Items left in your room will be treated as unwanted and disposed of.

It is your responsibility to check all areas of your room/flat before you leave for the final time to ensure you have all your possessions with you and that all unwanted items have been disposed of correctly.

Recycling

Donate unwanted goods such as clothing, bags, books, crockery, cooking equipment etc. and working electrical items to the British Heart Foundation, the GUEST EcoHub (Boyd Orr Building, Mon-Fri 10am-6pm) or a local charity shop. 

Bicycle

Don't forget your bicycle! Unmarked bicycles left in the shed will be disposed of during the summer.

Bicycle storage is for current residents only.

Confiscated items

If you have had any items confiscated during your stay, they can be collected during weekday office hours, Monday to Friday only.

Storage

We are unable to store belongings. Any item not cleared from a room/flat will be disposed of and charges will be added to your account.

If you need items stored please contact Flexistore

Thanks for staying with us. Goodbye and Good Luck!
