You will pass by the lower campus entrance and be greeted at the main entrance. Follow the signs to your assigned residence hall. A team of student volunteers will warmly welcome you and help carry your belongings to your room. Please ensure ALL items are clearly labeled with your name and room number. The driver will be asked to stay with the vehicle and move the vehicle to lower campus as soon as the car has been unloaded in order to ensure ample parking for all new students as they arrive. After move-in, you will check in for Orientation at the Welcome Tent on Kerrwood Lawn to receive important information and have your student ID card photo taken.

New Student Check-In Times

New students should plan to arrive and check-in with residence hall staff on Saturday, January 10 from 11:00am–1:00 PM.

Other Student Check-In Times

Other students who have not checked into their campus rooms yet (i.e. those returning from Fall away/abroad programs, leave of absence, or re-applicants) complete check-in with residence hall staff on:

• Saturday, January 10: 11:00am–1:00 PM or 7:00 PM–9:00 PM
• Sunday, January 11: 7:00 PM–9:00 PM  

IMPORTANT: 

Incoming students must complete check-in during one of the listed times. Moving into your assigned room outside of these times may result in a $100 charge. ID cards must be obtained for the electronic door locks. Students who are not officially approved by Housing to arrive early for Fall, remain during a portion of Winter Break, or stay late in May will incur a $100 charge along with the possibility of additional housing charges and/or sanctions. This also applies to any student who "hosts" an unapproved guest (roommate, etc.).

Some intercollegiate groups may be allowed to return to campus prior to check-in weekend. However, these must be approved in advance with Housing. New or returning students who have not been in campus housing during the Fall semester are typically not provided housing until official Spring housing check-in. See Special Housing>Christmas/Early January for more information.

Returning Student Check-In

Returning residents may return to their campus rooms on the weekend immediately preceding the first day of Spring semester. The residence halls re-open at 12:00 noon on Saturday, January 10 and ID cards will be needed for the electronic door locks.
