When you move in, you will complete a room inventory in the online housing portal to finalize the stated condition of your room in your residence hall or your apartment.
Checking in
- Incoming students move into their residence halls on the first day of New Student Orientation, on the Wednesday before the first day of Autumn Quarter.
- Returning students move into their residence halls and apartments on the Saturday before the first day of Autumn Quarter.
For specific dates, visit the University Calendar. For additional information, read the Student Handbook’s Residential Guidelines.
Building and room access
You will be issued a room key at the completion of your check-in. In the residence halls and the Wesley Apartments, residents’ Sea Pac Passes open the main doors of the building and a separate key allows them access to their rooms. All other apartment residents are issued one key that allows them access to their unit.
- Carry your key and Sea Pac Pass with you whenever you leave your room.
- Do not give your key or Sea Pac Pass to another person for building access.
- Room keys may not be duplicated or given to others.
- Anyone who illegally possesses, uses, or duplicates a University key will be subject to a fine and/or disciplinary action.
The residence halls are locked at all times. If you are locked out, a temporary key and/or keycard may be checked out at the Office of Safety and Security.
- If a room key is reported lost or not returned, the lock will be changed and you will be charged a re-core fee.
For the safety of yourself and other students, promptly report the loss of keys to Safety and Security or the loss of Sea Pac Passes in your online account with Campus Card Services.
