2. Check-In at Your Assigned Station

Your Check-In Station will be determined by your residence hall; station locations will be posted in August. At your station, you will pick up your CUID, which will be encoded with building access and, in most buildings, will also function as your room key. You may also pick up a hard key, depending on your building. Moving bins will also be available to help you transport belongings to your building.

Before you unpack your belongings, complete the Room Condition Report (RCR). You will receive more information about the RCR at Check-In.

*If you arrive after 12:30 p.m., you will check in at the Housing Hospitality Desk in Furnald Hall, located along the South Lawn of campus. Be aware that you may miss new student programming hosted by your school.
