Before You Can Move In

  • Have your student ID at check-in. New UMSL students should have their ID card made several days prior to check-in to ensure the reader system accepts their new card.


Procedure for Check-In on Move-In Day

  • Make sure all of your boxes/bags/belongings are labeled (with your name and room#) as we will have volunteers on hand to help you move in and we want to make sure your items get to the right room.
  • All check-ins begin at the front of Oak Hall. Leave your luggage, etc. in the car but bring your student ID.
    • Parking:
      • Lot KK allows 20 minutes for loading and unloading only.
      • Behind Oak Hall is okay, though double parking is prohibited.
  • Check-in with the front staff, and speak to a staff member to make sure all of your paperwork is in order. 
    • Sign for your room keys.
    • Have your student ID encoded for your room and building.
  • Pick up your welcome materials, confirm rental of your loft (an example will be set up in the lobby), etc.
    • Lofts are available for rent at the cost of $100 which will be charged to your student account.
