Check-In Process

Residence Life staff will issue you a key and other important materials during check-in. Upon arriving at your building's unloading zone, please unpack your vehicle and park your car within the designated lot before moving your belongings to your room.

You will need the following when you arrive in the check-in line:

  • The digital Residence Life QR code found on the Move-In Next Steps page of the Housing Portal.
  • Clearance from the W&M Student Health Center. If you do not hear from a Health Center official, you can assume you are okay.
  • Patience. Our staff will do the best they can to check you in quickly. However, circumstances sometimes occur beyond their control that may slow up the process. Remember that many of our check-in days have been fairly hot so a little extra patience could make the day go more smoothly for everyone!
