Early Arrival Requests

New Students

Students who are a part of a varsity athletic team or specific scholarship program may be required to arrive early. First year students should reach out to their program leader or coach for more information.

Vaccination and Immunization Records

Upload Your Vaccination Records to Habif Health and Wellness Portal
See information here about how to upload your records and what is required of you prior to coming to campus.

Renter’s Insurance through Gradguard

WashU has partnered with GradGuard to offer renter’s insurance to students. You can obtain renter’s insurance through GradGuard via the Request Forms tab on the Housing Portal.

The Office of Residential Life strongly recommends that all students obtain renter’s insurance prior to their scheduled move-in date and time either through GradGuard or another provider of their choice to be covered in the event of theft, destruction, or loss of money, valuables, or other personal property belonging to, or in the custody of a student.

Additional Information

Room Condition Reports

You will receive information via email about your Room Condition Report (RCR). It is important that as a resident, you inspect the condition of your room and report the information accurately.

• If you arrive during our regular move-in dates and times, your RCR will be available to you upon check-in via your WUSTL Email.
• If you check-in outside of our regular move-in dates and times, you can expect to receive your RCR via your WUSTL email within two business days.

We use this form to determine if there were any room damages at the time you moved-in. That way, we can ensure you are not held financially responsible for those damages at the end of the academic year, if they are still present.

You will complete the RCR according to your housing assignment. For multiple occupancy bedrooms, ensure you evaluate the correct side/area of the bedroom.

• Letter “a” housing assignments mean you have been assigned to the left side of the room.
• Letter “b” housing assignments mean you have been assigned to the right side of the room.

We will not begin processing room change requests until two weeks after the first day of courses. Complete your Room Condition Report for the space you move into right away.

Bike Registration

For students who bring bikes on campus, WashU provides free bike registration. If you are a Danforth Campus student, faculty or staff member who will park your bike on campus, it’s mandatory to register your bike with WashU and clearly display the registration shield on your bike.

Displaying a registration shield helps protect your bike from theft and facilitates the recovery of lost or stolen bikes. It also allows WashU to contact the owners of bikes that were impounded due to improper parking, (blocking pedestrian access, for example).

If you aren’t sure about bringing a bike, consider renting a bike from a student-owned business, WashU Bear Bikes. Bears Bikes exist today to help the Washington University community move sustainably. No need to bring one with you, it’s already here!
