Move-In Info

Move-In

Once you have arrived on campus, please do the following: 

  1. Please provide COVID vaccination documentation or proof of a negative COVID test upon arrival to campus. Please direct questions to Institutional Resilience. 
  2. Please visit the check-in table to receive the hard copy of the Room Condition Inventory Sheet or RCI. Once this is complete, return it to the table to receive your key. Please be as thorough as possible to avoid being fined later in the year. 
  3. Please be aware of the Westmont Covenant During COVID-19. 

Get Tested

You will pass by the lower campus entrance and be greeted at the main entrance. Follow the signs to your assigned residence hall. A team of student volunteers will warmly welcome you and help carry your belongings to your room. Please ensure ALL items are clearly labeled with your name and room number. The driver will be asked to stay with the vehicle and move the vehicle to lower campus as soon as the car has been unloaded in order to ensure ample parking for all new students as they arrive. After move-in, you will check in for Orientation at the Welcome Tent on Kerrwood Lawn to receive important information and have your student ID card photo taken.
