To expedite check-in, one member of your family may unload the vehicle while you check-in. Only Penn State students with proper identification can receive a check-in packet. Packets will not be given to family members or friends. After you have received your room key, you may move your items into your room. Please move your vehicle to a temporary parking lot as soon as it is unloaded.

What to Bring to Check-in
• Penn State id+ card or other photo ID
• Meningococcal Vaccination Certification form   (if not already submitted)
• Yourself (you may not send a friend or family member to check-in for you)

What You’ll Receive at Check-in
• Room key
• Room check-in sheet
• Other important information

If you do not have a room assignment for move-in day, go directly to the Housing and Food Services office, located in Senat Hall. If the office is closed when you arrive, ask Police Services or Residence Life for assistance.
