Before you can move in, your student account balance needs to be satisfied by one or more of the following methods:
If your account balance is not completely accounted for, you will need to meet with an Enrollment and Student Services (ESS) representative at the Welcome Center in the Horvitz Administration Building prior to your assigned move-in day.
Schedule an appointment with an ESS rep by calling (954) 262-5200.
You’ll need your SharkCard to access your room on check-in day. Request your SharkCard from SharkCard Services a week prior to check-in (and after you’ve registered for classes).
Log in to the Housing Portal to check and confirm your room assignment.
Additionally, complete all Emergency Forms—Emergency Contact, Missing Persons, and Hurricane Response—48 hours prior to your assigned check-in time.
We put together a checklist to help you prepare for move-in. It covers everything from electronics, storage ideas, kitchen and cleaning essentials, and toiletries to shared items that you’ll want to coordinate with potential roommates.
All residence halls are furnished with Twin XL beds except for:
Mako Hall: Full XL
Rolling Hills A and C studios: Queen
You’ll receive your room key, mailing address, Room Assessment Form (see step 6 below), and other pertinent information.
Your Resident Assistant will review the condition of your room prior to Move-In Day and notate their assessment on the Room Assessment Form.
It is your responsibility to review your Room Assessment Form and confirm that it accurately reflects the condition of your room. If you need to amend the form with corrections, you have 24 hours from your move-in date to contact your Resident Assistant for a reassessment.
