Split Assignment*

*A split assignment includes a whole assignment and an additional partial/whole assignment. For split assignments (e.g., 3/4), please follow the instructions on the Cleaning Descriptions Form for each additional cleaning task assigned. If you were assigned additional whole assignments, watch the videos for all assignments given.
While reading your checkout assignment email, ignore the numbers in parentheses (e.g., 3/4) and focus solely on the subsequent description. These numbers indicate the number of residents in the apartment, primarily for our records (3/4 signifies 3 residents in a 4-person apartment). They DO NOT refer to person-specific assignments.
Storage

To utilize Centre Square storage, you must have a future contract with Centre Square. To store your belongings in storage during checkout week, visit the Building 1 and 3 storage units during office hours.

It is first come, first serve until all available storage spaces are full.

You are only allowed five 18-gallon totes or four 27-gallon totes. This is to ensure that there is enough space for all residents to store their belongings. If you have bigger sized totes than those, please see a building manager to discuss possible solutions.

 

Parking Over the Break

The only vehicles that should be in the Centre Square parking lot during the break are residents with a break contract or a next semester contract. Any other vehicles will be subject to towing and associated fees.
