Move-in Day Check-in Guidelines

Students will be able to schedule their check-in time online by visiting the CUResLife scheduling site. This can be located here.

On the day you are scheduled to arrive, please report to the designated check-in location at the scheduled time. The designated check-in locations will be marked outside of each residence hall as “Designated Check-In Location (_Residence Hall Name_).” A CU Residence Life staff member will meet you and confirm your arrival due to the large number of students checking in. We ask that you please keep your arrival time to the time you signed up for. This allows us to give each student an exceptional experience.

Get access to your student email to get important information about move-in day. You should have received a notification regarding your student email and how to access it. Learn more here under the 'Student Email' tab.
