Moving In

The check-in process will begin at your assigned residence hall. In your residence hall lobby, you will be received by the Area Director and Resident Assistant (RA) staff. They will provide all necessary check-in materials and your room key.

Once you complete the check-in process, you may begin moving your items into your room. The residence halls have elevator and stair access as well as volunteer move-in helpers to make the process as smooth as possible.

Parking is available surrounding the residence halls. As this can be a busy day, please use your time efficiently and allow yourself extra time.

Remember, it is your responsibility to maintain an environment that is conducive to studying, relaxing, and building a positive experience during your stay in the residence halls.

If you have any housing questions or concerns, please contact Residence Life in the Office of Student Affairs at 800-434-4781 or email osa@barton.edu.
