Move-In Guide
Before you arrive on campus, make sure you have done the following:
- Save your Move-In ticket code to your phone OR print a copy and bring it with you on your Move-In day.
- 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.
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 12-1 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.
