Check-In Steps
Step 1: Arrive at Your Selected Check-In Time
If you have not yet selected an arrival time, please do so as soon as possible in the Housing Portal.
Check-In appointments are available between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1. If you arrive after 1 p.m., you may miss new student programming hosted by your school. After-hours Check-In will be conducted at the Housing Hospitality Desk in Furnald Hall.
Step 2: Proceed to Your Assigned Check-In Station
Check-In station locations vary and may be at a building different than your residence hall. Find your Check-In station on our website. Check-In Station within campus gates may have specified access points.
At your Check-In station, you will pick up your CUID, which will be encoded with your room and building access and may function as your room key. If you live in a hard key building, you will also pick up your room key.
Moving bins are available for rent, and street closures are in effect to facilitate curbside drop-off.
Step 3: Park Your Car
Street parking is limited, and streets around your building may be closed to parking to facilitate move-in. Review local pay-to-park garages.
Step 4: Proceed to Your Building
Before you unpack your belongings, log in to the Housing Portal to take our brief Check-In survey and to complete the Room Condition Report (RCR). The RCR is mandatory. It records the condition of your room at the time of move-in and will serve as the basis for damages during occupancy. Failure to complete the RCR may result in damage charges at Check-Out.
