New Students: August 21 | Returning Students: August 22
Step 1: Check In at Knight Quest
All students must check in through Knight Quest in the Academic Commons located in the main college building before checking into housing, even if you have already completed all KnightQuest requirements.
You will not be permitted to move into the residence hall until you have completed the Knight Quest check-in process.
Once you have completed KnightQuest, you will receive a ticket indicating that you have finished the process.
Step 2: Check In with Housing
Take your Knight Quest ticket to Zirkle Commons (the Dining Hall) to check in with the Residential Life staff.
Please do not bring your belongings with you during this initial check-in.
When you arrive at the Housing check-in table, you will:
- Turn in your KnightQuest completion ticket.
- Receive your housing folder.
- Receive a QR code to access your Room Condition Form.
Step 3: Complete Your Room Condition Form
Scan the QR code and proceed to your assigned room. Your room will already be unlocked.
Once in the room, you will carefully complete the Room Condition Form by documenting the condition of your room and any existing damages. This form helps protect you from being held responsible for damage that was present before your arrival.
Step 4: Receive Your Room Key
After submitting your Room Condition Form, return to the Housing check-in table in Zirkle Commons to receive your room key.
Once you have your key, you are welcome to begin moving your belongings into your room.
Required Hall Meeting
All residential students are required to attend a hall meeting at 7:30 p.m. on the evening of their move-in day in Zirkle Commons. Please plan your move-in accordingly so you are able to attend.
We are excited to welcome you to campus and look forward to seeing you on move-in day! If you have any questions before your arrival, please don't hesitate to contact the Office of Residential Life at
