BEFORE MOVING IN
Get Your Documents Ready
- Submit your photo to the UCR Carding Office to receive your R'Card, which you will need to pick up your keys.
- Change your UCR network password so you can use Housing's network on your personal computer.
- Log in to your MyHousing Portal, and review the details on purchasing renters' insurance.
Pack Your Items
- Review the packing checklist and prohibited items list. Some things to keep in mind:
- No moving vans, RVs or trailers are permitted when moving in.
- Space is limited in on-campus housing! Many residents end up sending items back home.
On MOVE-IN DAY
Drive to Your Community
- Please leave pets at home; they will not be allowed into buildings due to health and safety concerns.
- Park in the marked visitor parking spaces and go inside to the front desk.
- Show your R'Card to receive your keys.
Unload Your Items & Perform a Room Inspection
- Complete your move-in inspection via your MyHousing Portal
- Instructions will be in your UCR email when you pick up your keys.
- Failure to complete it on the day you move in means your space is accepted as-is.
