Remember that residents sharing a double room, bathroom and a suite are equally responsible for the condition and furnishings of these areas. Failure to meet the checklist and/or to leave your room in a clean condition may result in a minimum charge of $100 to your Student Account.  

You will be contacted in early April by Coldex with full instructions for returning your Coldex fridge. Students will be required to leave their fridge in their room when departing. Fridges will be collected after April 27. It is mandatory your fridge is left, clean, dry and defrosted. If you have not received an email by early April or have any questions, please contact Coldex directly by clicking here.
