0 0. Before You Start 0

Your assignment letter contains important information about move-in day including your check-in time, your hall, and room assignment. Before you make the journey to campus be sure to:

Pack light. Barnhart, Carson, LLC, Global Scholars Hall, and Riley are the only halls with elevators (which get really busy during move-in). Using the stairs may speed up your move-in process. It may also be helpful to bring a handtruck or dolly.

Know your check-in time. You are assigned a specific time to check in, by zip code. Check your assignment letter for your staggered check-in time and instructions. Checking in during your assigned time should reduce waiting time. We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines as we work to ease heavy traffic and congestion during check-in. Staggered check-in times for September 20 only:

  • September 20, 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.: zip codes 01001-94050
  • September 20, 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.: zip codes 94051-96999; 98000-99950
  • September 20, 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.: zip codes 97218-97999 BUT NOT 97401-97405 NOR 97477-97478
  • September 20, 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.: zip codes 97000-97217; 97401-97405; 97477-97478


Remember to leave behind alcohol, illegal drugs, drug and alcohol paraphernalia, weapons, pets (except fish), hot plates, microwaves, incense and candles (including wickless), extension cords, halogen lamps, valuables, and large amounts of cash.

0 1. Get to the UO 0

When traveling to campus on September 20, first determine your hall. Then refer to the Move-in Maps brochure mailed to you in August to determine your recommended freeway exit and route to campus. These routes were created to avoid extra congestion and keep the traffic flowing.

  • Barnhart, Riley, Carson, Earl, LLC, Walton, and east side of Hamilton: Northbound I-5 take exit 189 for 30th Avenue; southbound I-5 take exit 194B for I-105/126

0 4. Unload 0

Please unload belongings into the room as quickly as possible. Unloading zones are for active unloading only; a person must stay with the vehicle. Tip: a student can unpack while a driver moves the vehicle.

Do not leave your valuables unattended or your doors unlocked.

0 5. Park Your Vehicle 0

As soon, as you unload your vehicle, you are required to move your vehicle to make room for others to unload. Free parking will be available on September 20 only; refer to the Move-in Maps brochure for locations.

0 6. Submit Your PRCR 0

In your room you will find a card directing you to the online Property and Room Condition Report (PRCR) . The PRCR documents the room condition upon move-in; residents are responsible for damage or loss that occurs during the year. Failure to complete the online form indicates that you accept the default condition of the room and included property.

0 7. Pick Up Your UO ID Card 0

If you didn’t get it at IntroDUCKtion, you’ll need to get your UO identification card before the end of the day. The photo ID office is inside the Erb Memorial Union (EMU) and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. In Barnhart, Earl, the Global Scholars Hall, LLC, and Riley your ID card will grant you access to your hall. You can also use your UO ID to pick up mail parcels at your Housing Service Center, dine at the nine housing dining venues, go to the Student Recreation Center and the University Health Center, check out library books, and ride LTD buses for free.

0 8. Register Your Bike 0

On campuses across the nation, bicycle theft is a problem. We suggest you bring a used or inexpensive bike, along with a secure U-shaped lock and a helmet. You are required to register your bike with the University of Oregon Police Department (UOPD) upon arrival on campus. The registration will help UOPD return stolen bikes to their rightful owners if they are recovered. Make sure you write down the serial number for your bike so it may be identified. Bikes parked at the bike racks and not registered will be impounded. UOPD will provide bike registration throughout check-in at various locations on campus. Check your Week of Welcome schedule, call 541‑346‑5444, or stop by UOPD at Straub Hall, 1319 E. 15th Ave. for times and locations.

Do not leave bikes unattended or unlocked while you move in.
0 9. Connect Your Internet and Cable TV 0
Internet

To connect your computer to the Internet via Ethernet, you will need a CAT5 or CAT6 Ethernet cable. CAT5 cables are available at ResNet for $6-$8 depending on length. For help or to register an Internet enabled device that does not have a web browser (ie. Xbox, Smart TVs, and VOIP devices), stop by the ResNet tables in Carson lobby, Hamilton commons, LLC lobby, or Barnhart recreation room on September 19 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., September 20-21 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and September 22 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. After September 22, visit the ResNet office in Douglass 101 in the Walton Hall on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information, contact ResNet at 541-346-4223 or go to it.uoregon.edu/resnet.

Wireless

Wireless access points are available throughout Bean, Carson, Earl, the Global Scholars Hall, Hamilton, and the LLC, and in most residence hall lounges, study rooms, and dining common areas. Students living in Walton, Barnhart, or Riley may bring a wireless router for their room. You must register your router; bring it and its power cord to the nearest ResNet table.

Students may check out a phone for the year at the Housing Service Centers.

0 11. Enjoy Your First Dinner 0

Your first meal will be dinner on the day you move in. Your UO ID card is required to use your meal plan (on check-in day you can use another photo ID and your student ID number if you don’t yet have your UO ID). You can use some of your meal points to treat your family and guests to dinner, or family and guests may use cash or credit/debit cards if they wish to join you. All residents who check in on September 20 will receive prorated meal points from Thursday through Sunday.
