Move-In Instructions:

  1. Keep your Rambler (Student ID) in a place that is easy to access.
  2. Download the HID Mobile Access app to your phone.  See Tips section below for more information.
  3. Bring your Rambler to the residence life staff member on duty and they will check you in for the spring semester.
  4. Move your belongings into your room and get settled in – welcome home!
  5. As a courtesy to other Rams, please relocate your car so that the closest spots are available for others who are unloading.

Tips for New Residents Before Arriving:

  1. Check your Shepherd email for messages from Residence Life.
  2. Still packing? Check out our What to Pack guide.  Only Potomac Place has an elevator, so please pack thoughtfully in containers that are easier to move.
  3. Download the HID Mobile Access App to your phone.
    1. HID Mobile Access is used to access your building or Boteler Service Center access for WestWoods residents.
    2. A 16 digit activation code will be sent on January 8 to your Shepherd email from HIDOrigo. The code is only good for 24 hours.
    3. If you do not receive the HID code, please email esechler@shepherd.edu after you have downloaded the app.
  4. Ensure you have your Rambler ID card, as you will need it to check-in. If you don’t have a Rambler, visit the Wellness Center first (164 University Drive) to pick up or replace it before check-in.
