Before you arrive on campus, make sure you have done the following:

  • Review your move-in packet, which has detailed information on what you can expect for move-in, including how to navigate our campus on these days.

IMPORTANT: Your move-in ticket is how you will check in at the tent once you get to campus. Not bringing your move-in ticket will delay your move into your room.  

How do I find your move-in ticket?
Available Friday, Aug. 9, you can find your move-in ticket in your Housing Portal by clicking the "Move-in Ticket and Packet" button.

Don't Forget!

  • You will have until Aug. 1 to sign up for a Move-in Time.
    • If you do not have a Move-In Time by the deadline, you are not cleared to move on campus. You will need to call 419-372-2011 after the deadline to schedule your appointment.
  • Make sure your bill is paid in full. You will not be able to check in until you have been cleared by the Office of the Bursar.
  • To provide a smooth and timely move-in for each student, we limit the number of individuals who will be moving in each hour. You are required to adhere to your move-in time.
  • If you do not remember your move-in time, you will be able to find it on the right hand side of your Housing Portal homepage.
  • It is VERY important you don't overpack. You can bring two vehicles with you, but don't bring more than what can fit into a compact car.

Arriving On Campus Check-In Process

If you arrive to campus on Aug. 21-22 (new students) or Aug. 24-25 (returning students), DO NOT go straight to your residence hall. You MUST go through the drive-thru check-in process first.

  • Enter Bowling Green from I-75 and head West on Wooster Street toward campus and follow the signs to the drive-thru check-in parking lot at the Stroh Center.
  • When you arrive on campus, make sure your vehicle sign is filled out and placed on your windshield.
  • You will be expected at the Stroh within your Move-In Time window. Example: If your Move-In Time is at noon, you should arrive between Noon and 1 p.m.
  • No one should get out of the vehicle during check-in. Check-in will be easier if the student is sitting in the driver seat or front passenger seat.
  • Have your BG1 Card, or photo ID if you don't have one, ready to show at check-in.
  • When you enter the parking lot, you will be directed to the check-in tent.
    • Vehicles that will be going through the check-in process must be no higher than 7 feet high.
    • Vehicles higher than this height will be directed to an adjacent lot until the student in the check-in vehicle has completed their check-in.   
  • Show either your digital or printout Move-in Ticket we will need the QR code.
  • At the tent, a Student Housing staff member will ask to see your BG1 card (or photo ID) and Move-In Ticket.
    REMEMBER: Do not get out of your car.
  • Once we have confirmed you have been cleared to move-in, we will check you in and give you the following:
    • Room Key(s)
    • Driving map and will go over unloading zone & long-term parking information
  • After our staff has answered any questions you may have, you will be released to your residence hall.

Late & Early Check-In

If you arrive late for your check-in time, don’t worry, when you arrive at the Stroh Center a staff member will be able to help you. There is NO NEED to call our office if you are late.

If you arrive before Move-In begins for the day, we ask that you wait to pull into the Stroh Center parking lot until your time to check-in.

If you arrive after Move-In has ended for the day, you will need to go to your residence hall and check-in at the front desk.
