There will be several stations at check-in, resident will need to make sure they receive their student ID, fill out a health screening form (TB), and sign the Housing Agreement before picking up their key.

Residential Information
Any student is allowed to have a car on campus. Should you decide to bring your car to campus, you must register it and pay for a parking permit that will allow you to park in one of the parking areas on campus.
If you are a new student, you will get your picture taken upon your arrival to campus and receive your new student ID Card. Student IDs are necessary for accessing your residence hall after move-in day and for using your meal plan. Your ID has a chip in it and acts like a debit card—you will need it each time you spend money in the campus cafeteria or coffee shop.
Do not include your room or building information in your address. All mail should be sent to:
Your Name
1840 South 1300 East
Salt Lake City, UT 84105
Since Westminster's ability to manage and store large quantities of shipped items is limited, students are discouraged from shipping items ahead of their arrival. If you are moving from a distance that prevents you from driving your items into the city, arrange to have things shipped to campus after the official move-in weekend. You are strongly advised to travel with everything you'll need for the first few days of living in the residence halls until your additional items arrive.
