CHECKING IN: GENERAL TIPS
�� Students should check into their assigned Residence between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
�� Remember to print off your Orientation schedule prior to arrival.
�� Residence check-in will be located in the Cadboro Commons dining hall on move-in day.
�� Government issued Photo ID is required to collect your keys and check-in.
�� Sign in to the Housing Portal and complete your online “Room Condition Report” within 48 hours of arrival. This will create a record regarding the condition of your accommodation (i.e., any existing damage), and the condition of and/or any missing inventory items. If there is a question regarding responsibility for damages to the room or unit or furnishings, this record will be used in determining responsibility for the damages.
�� Your Orientation Schedule will be e-mailed to you the week prior to move-in day. Remember to print it off prior to your arrival. This has important information such as when and where your first building/floor meetings will be, and where you are having dinner on your first night in residence!
Once you’ve checked in, find your room and move in! Make sure to introduce yourself to your neighbours and Community Leader.
Check out the move-in day Info Fair. Here, you can:
�� Connect with UVic groups such as Academic Advising, UVic Food Services, VIKES Athletics, and the UVic Student Society
�� Buy items for your room from pop-up vendors
�� Grab a burger from the Food Services BBQ
�� Visit booths to get entered in a draw for prizes
�� Meet at UVic Orientation for family tours of campus
IMPORTANT If you are arriving later than our official move-in day, please notify Residence Admissions by email at resadmin@uvic.ca otherwise, your room may be cancelled and re-assigned.
