Move-In IconMove-In Fall 2024

We hope you had an enjoyable summer break and are ready to be welcomed to campus. The following is important information for those returning to campus or moving on campus for the first time.

Student Move In

New Student Move-In will take place August 16 from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. Returning Student Move-In will take place on August 17 from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. Please review Move-in Instructions for Each Residence Hall (pdf-371K) for details about checking in at the Shack (579 Winthrop University Lake Drive ) and moving into your specific residence hall. 

Required: Pre-Check-In Process

The Pre-Check-In process will open on August 5. This is required for all students and must be completed prior to your scheduled move-in day. This process can be found on Wingspan by accessing Eaglesnest. It will take you through the following steps:

  1. Log into your Wingspan account.
  2. Navigate to Eaglesnest Housing under the Student Tools menu.
  3. Click on Fall Pre-Check-In Process.
  4. Room Key Acknowledgment - This form acknowledges that you are responsible for your room key, and will be charged to re-core the lock(s) in your room if you lose the key.
  5. RCR: Room Condition Report - This form acknowledges that you will be responsible for assessing any damages in your room upon your arrival. Once you move out of the room, you will be charged for any damages not listed on the initial RCR.
  6. Emergency Contact Information - This is kept on file in case of an emergency.
  7. Medical Form - This information is kept in the event of a medical emergency in the residence hall. This can be the same person as your emergency contact, or someone different.
  8. Move-In Time - Select a time for your arrival to move in on your expected date.

Required: Immunization Compliance Completed through the Health Services Patient Portal

In order to sign up for a move-in time and complete the Pre-check-In process, you must have completed all of your immunization requirements for Health Services through the Patient Portal due by July 15, 2024. This only applies to New Students and returning students with immunization holds.

Location

Students moving into all halls, except CampusWalk (see below), arriving on the 16 and 17 will proceed to the Winthrop Lake (1162 Eden Terrace, Rock Hill, SC, 29730). There you will check in and receive your room key. You will then proceed to your assigned residence hall on the main campus to move in. We structure check-in this way in order to alleviate congestion on main campus and ensure a smoother move-in process for everyone. 

Parking lots/spaces immediately outside of your residence hall will be unload only areas. You should pull up to the unload area and unload your belongings onto the curb before moving your vehicle to parking at the Cherry Road Lot (Lot F on Parking Map). You will be allowed 10 minutes to unload your vehicle. Once you have parked your vehicle, you will return and begin moving your belongings to your room.

Students arriving outside of the 16 or 17 that week will go directly to their residence hall.

CampusWalk (W2C) Move-In

Students moving into W2C will proceed directly to CampusWalk (620 Rose St. Rock Hill, SC 29733) to pick up their key. The office will be open from 9:00AM until 5:00PM during the week, and between 1:00PM and 4:00PM on Saturday and Sunday (they will be open from 9:00AM-5:00PM on Saturday August 17th).

Residents will receive an email from rockhill@walk2camnpus.com on move-in day with their login information for the W2C Portal.  The portal will allow you to  receive communications from W2C and submit work orders online.  You will also have the opportunity to purchase a parking pass on move-in day for $75.00.  Please be prepared to pay by check or credit card, they do not accept cash.

Important Information
