Moving into campus housing

• Check-in pass

  You must complete the Check-in Pass Module in order to receive your check-in pass. Once you've finished the interactive session, which takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, you will receive your check-in pass via email. Note: After you complete the check-in pass, there may be a slight delay in receiving it via email.  You must provide your check-in pass printed or on your mobile device to the staff of your assigned residence hall or apartment building in order to move into your assigned space.

  Please note: You must also complete the Stay Warrior Safe course provided by the Campus Health Committee in addition to the housing modules. 

  Prior to moving in, your fall housing balance must be paid in full.

  Please refer to your student account on Academica for balance information. If you have issues concerning payment prior to move-in, you must contact us at housing@wayne.edu or call 313-577-2116.

   

• Community Living Guide

  The Community Living Guide (CLG) is the Office of Housing and Residential Life's official document that outlines all of the rules and regulations of living in university housing. The CLG also has important information about services offered in your building and other valuable resources to help make your stay on campus enjoyable and memorable.

  A paper copy of the CLG will be provided to all incoming freshman students and is also available as a PDF.

• Immunizations

  All students are strongly recommended to have their immunization records on file at the Campus Health Center prior to moving in.  Please check with your primary care provider or local health department to inquire if your immunization record is on file with the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR).  This is the Michigan registry that holds immunization records for individuals who were born after 1994 and have received immunizations in the State of Michigan. 

  It is Wayne State University’s (WSU) goal to protect the public health of the entire WSU community.  It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that all students be up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccines.  To learn more about which immunizations you may need, please visit the Centers for Disease Control website:

  • Students 18 and younger
  • Students 19 and older

  If you have verified your record is up-to-date in the Michigan Care Improvement Registry, you do not need to take any additional action.

  If you do not have a record in the Michigan Care Improvement Registry, or were born outside of Michigan or the United States, it is recommended that you provide the Campus Health Center with your official immunization record as directed.

  You can submit your immunization record to the Campus Health Center in one of the following ways:

  • Drop it off at 5285 Anthony Wayne Drive, Detroit MI 48202; or
  • Mail it with “Attn Immunization Record” to Campus Health Center 5285 Anthony Wayne Drive, Detroit MI 48202; or
  • Fax it with “Attn Immunization Record” to (313) 577-9581 or
  • Bring it on your Move-In Day and drop it off at the Campus Health Center.

  If you need assistance in evaluating your immunization status, the Campus Health Center can assist you.  Please call to schedule an appointment at 313-577-5041, or request an appointment using the patient portal.  Instructions for the patient portal can be found at health.wayne.edu

• Renters insurance

  NSSI (National Student Services Inc.) is the leader in providing college student property insurance designed specifically for college students living on campus. Student laptops, smartphones, textbooks, and more are staples for college students, and they are expensive to replace when a theft or damage occurs. We encourage you to cover your belongings with a student property insurance policy to protect the tools you need to be successful in your education. More information is available at www.nssi.com.

• Roommate information

  Your roommate(s) information for the academic year is available online by logging into your self-service portal. You can log on to this site by using your AccessID and password. If you do not currently have an assigned roommate, you can check back periodically online to see if one has been assigned.

  Please contact your roommate before move-in day to coordinate what to bring to avoid overcrowding in your room/suite. You may also want to begin discussing ground rules for your room or expectations you may have while living together.

• Move-in Helpers

  In addition to having Warrior Welcome Crew to help assist moving in, residents are permitted to have friends and family help on move-in day. All guests will have to complete a guest daily screener prior to helping move in.

• What to bring

  Students tend to over-pack when moving to campus. The list that follows details some things that you may want to consider bringing, as well as some things not permitted in the apartments. Many students bring the things they are going to use right away with them, and then later trade things out during a weekend home or the Thanksgiving or semester break periods. For example, you most likely won't need a winter coat until November, so you could leave that at home in August and bring it later in the year. Throughout the year, you might also choose to bring certain items home to lighten the load for when you move off-campus.

  Things to discuss with your roommate(s)

  Discuss the items you and your roommate(s) plan to bring to campus. Coordinate with one another to avoid having duplicate items, and agree on items you can share to save space. Begin the conversation early about using each other's things.
  For example, if you plan to share cleaning supplies, how will you divide responsibility for replenishing them throughout the year when you are running low? Most students coordinate:

  • Desk and floor lamps (no overhead lighting in most rooms)
  • Bath mat

  • Mini refrigerator
  • TV, coaxial cable and DVD player
  • Wastebasket and trash bags
  • Cleaning supplies, including broom, dustpan and mop (you are responsible for cleaning your own room
