What to Do When You Arrive on Campus

(Student Athlete & New Student Move-In)

When you arrive, head to the upper parking lot of the Morris University Center (MUC). Look for campus signage to guide you—this area is marked on the map below (yellow-bordered section).
Once parked:

  1. Enter the Morris University Center (MUC) lower lobby to check in.
  2. There will be three check-in tables organized by last name:
    • A–I
    • J–R
    • S–Z
  3. Staff at the tables will check you in, confirm your housing assignment, and provide next steps.

Not sure what room you're assigned to?
See the section below (How to Check Your Room Assignment) for instructions on how to find your housing assignment.
