How Do I Check In?

You are free to move in! Please follow staff instructions for unloading your vehicle.

Apartment and Townhouse Residents
Please note that each student is assigned to a specific bedroom. You must check into this bedroom. You cannot change bedrooms with your apartment or townhouse roommates. This is considered an unauthorized room change and a Residence "no-no".
When You Get to Your Room
4) Inventory Form
All students are required to fill in a room inventory form when they check in. The purpose of this form is to ensure that the student is not held responsible for any defects present in the room prior to occupancy. Your Resident Assistant will assist you in completing the room inventory form.
Please note that any damage beyond normal wear and tear in the room will be charged to you after checking out.
