RCCD Move-In

EARLY AUGUST

Submit Your R'Card Photo

• Submit your photo to the UCR Carding Office to receive a UCR ID Card (R'Card). You will need a R'Card to pick up your keys, use a dining plan and attend UCR events.
  • For photos submitted before August 12: You will pick up your R'Card on Move-In Day.
  • For photos submitted after August 12: You will have to wait in line at the Highlander Service Station on Move-In Day to take a photo and have your R'Card printed before you can receive your keys.

Explore Optional Add-Ons

• Explore RCCD-exclusive Dining Plan options.
• Log in to your MyHousing Portal, and review the details on purchasing renters' insurance.
• Buy a Parking Permit if you intend to bring a vehicle. (Parking a car on campus requires a valid UCR parking permit.)

THE WEEK OF MOVE IN

Confirm Your Move-In Details

• On or after August 10, log in to your MyHousing Portal and download your Check-In Pass QR Code. Your housing assignment will be in the green shaded box on the "RCCD-UCR Housing Application Part 2" tab.
  • Save your Check-In Pass to your phone or print it, but you must have it at Move-In Day.
• RCCD Move-In is scheduled for Saturday, August 15, from 8:30 AM-11:30 AM. You can check in at any time during those hours.
  • Need to check in late for religious or critical reasons? Please call or email us before Move-In Day. We cannot hold your room without prior notice.

Pack Your Items

• Review the packing checklist and prohibited items list. Some things to keep in mind:
  • Each resident can check out one rolling cart on Move-In Day to transport their items, but you may also bring your own wagon, dolly or moving cart.
  • No moving vans, RVs or trailers are permitted on Move-In Day.
  • Remember: Space is limited in on-campus housing! Many families end up taking items home.

  • Consider a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and an umbrella for shade, as it will likely be hot.
  • There will be photo opportunities, so be sure to show your RCCD spirit!
