Move-In Instructions:

Keep your Rambler (Student ID) in an easy to find spot.
Make sure you have downloaded the HID and CORQ apps to your phone. See Tips section below for more information.
Bring your Rambler to the residence life staff member on duty and they will check you in for the spring semester.
Unload your vehicle and move your car to a residential lot for parking.
Move your belongings into your room and unpack – welcome home! Remember: only Potomac Place has an elevator.

Tips for New Residents Before Arriving:

Be sure you have access to your Shepherd email & have checked messages from Residence Life.
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.
Download 2 apps to your phone:
1. HID Mobile Access —HID Mobile Access is used to have access into your building or Boteler Service Center access for WestWoods residents. If you do not have an HID code, please email esechler@shepherd.edu after you have downloaded the app. The code is only good for 24 hours.
2. Corq—used to check-in to the residence hall with the staff. It is also a great way to learn what is happening around campus throughout the year.
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.
