Get Your i-card
In order to check in to your hall you will need to have your i-card, which is your official ID for the university. To make the check-in process easier and faster, we recommend you get your i-card ahead of time by visiting the ID Center before checking in to your hall. You can also submit your photo online ahead of time to save even more time.
If you arrive at your hall front desk and do not have your i-card yet, the front desk will provide you with one as long as you have a photo ID. You then have three days to get your i-card and must return to the front desk to have it activated.
After that, unload your belongings and get settled in your home-away-from home!
