The CFD is open from 8 am - 8 pm daily to assist guests with check-in/check-out, campus information, sale of parking permits and assistance with room lock-outs.

The minimum reservation is for 21 nights. If your reservation was for more than 21 nights, you may shorten your stay as long as the 21-night minimum is met and a minimum of 48 hours notice is given. If you wish to check out early, please contact the CFD.

You are not considered checked out until all of your belongings are removed from the apartment and your keys, Oak Creek parking permit, and Oak Creek ID card are returned to the Conference Front Desk. If you return these items when the CFD is not open, please return them in an envelope marked with your name, apartment number, and the date. The envelope should be placed in the drop-box for the CFD.
