THE CHECK-IN PROCESS

1. Select Your Check-In Day

Upperclass students should log into the Housing Portal to select their preferred arrival day and time. We encourage students to check in on formal Check-In Day, September 1; however, students may choose to arrive over the weekend.

2. Initiate Check-In Online

In late August, returning upperclass students will need to initiate Check-In through the Housing Portal. Plan to initiate Check-In 24 hours prior to arriving on campus to prevent move-in delays.

3. Complete Check-In at Your Assigned Location

Arrive on the day you selected in the Housing Portal. Your Check-In location will be determined by your residence hall. See Check-In locations and instructions here.

4. Proceed to Your Room

Before you unpack your belongings, complete our brief three-question survey about your Check-In experience as well as the Room Condition Report (RCR; formerly known as the Web Inventory Report). You will receive more information about the RCR after you have initiated Check-In.
