Students assisting with NSOP as Orientation Leaders, etc. will receive information about early move-ins from the offices they’re working with later this summer. Unfortunately we are not able to provide early check-in for other students not working with campus offices for NSOP.

Check-In Time Slots

To help the College coordinate and ensure a smooth process, all students will need to select a Check-In Time Slot for their planned arrival to campus.

Students will be emailed instructions for selecting a check-in time slot in early August.

Guest Access

Students may sign in a guest to help them move-in. Please see guest policies & limits.

Note: Guests must be 18 years old or older. Minors (17 or younger) are not currently permitted to be signed in as guests

Guest must complete an online form upon arrival (using their own mobile device) linked from a QR code at the Front Desk. Guests will need to confirm via the form that they are both vaccinated and boostered for COVID-19 and not feeling any symptoms on the day of their visit (the form cannot be submitted in advance of the visit day).

NSOP Orientation (New Students)

The Student Experience & Engagement (SEE) office will email new enrolling students about NSOP (the New Student Orientation Program) closer to the start of the semester. Information will also be available at barnard.edu/studentlife/orientation.

Campus Map & Directions

• Campus Map
• Directions to Campus
• Residence Hall Floor Plans *

* All measurements on residence hall floor plans are approximate. We encourage students to refrain from purchasing and/or cutting carpets, curtains, etc. until you move into your room and take exact measurements.

Parking, Unloading, & Carts

The area in front of each residence hall is reserved for short-term unloading only.

Please do not leave your car unattended. Do not double-park cars as this blocks the unloading zone. Double-parked cars may be ticketed or towed by NYPD.

After unloading items, cars will need to relocate to provide access for others. Metered street parking elsewhere in the neighborhood will be extremely limited, so please check out this list of list of Parking Garages in the area.

A limited number of carts will be available for use from the front desk of each residence hall. Students are encouraged to bring their own cart, hand truck, dolly, etc. to help them move their belongings into the residence halls.

Student IDs (& replacements for lost IDs)

New enrolling students must submit a photo online ASAP (if you haven’t already done so) so that your Student ID will be included in you check-in envelope.

Returning students who may have lost their Student ID should fill out the CARES ID Replacement Form for assistance in obtaining a replacement ID card.

Students must carry their Student IDs at all times for swipe access to their residence hall and other buildings on campus.

Recommended / Prohibited Items in the Residence Halls

Please consult this list for recommended and prohibited items. Save yourself room in your car, suitcase, etc, by leaving things behind that are not permitted in the residence halls!

Because space is tight, we encourage students to bring only the essentials. It's easier to purchase needed items after you move in than bringing too many belongings with you and not having room to store them. Additionally, we encourage you to refrain from purchasing and/or cutting carpets, curtains, etc. until you move into your room and take exact measurements.

Mail & Packages

For the hours of the Student Mail Room in Altschul Hall, please visit Mail Services.

All mail & packages must be addressed to students' mailboxes in the Student Mail Room. Any mail/packages addressed to a student's residence hall would be "returned to sender."

The Student Mail Room will accept mail & packages for students up to 3 days before their scheduled move-in date. If you're sending packages before moving in, please ask the shipper to hold delivery until that time.

For information about how to find your Mailing Address and receiving mail in the Student Mailroom, please visit Student Mail Information.

Go Green! (Have an Environmentally-Friendly Move-In)

The College and Residential Life & Housing are committed to sustainable practices and climate action. Help us meet those goals by planning a "Green" move-in!

• Get rid of stuff before you move it! You will have a limited amount of space in your room, so bring only the essentials to make your move lighter and more energy-efficient.
• Instead of buying brand new cardboard boxes, ask your local grocery, hardware, liquor, or dry goods store for boxes. Or, use reusable plastic tubs.
• Instead of packing your boxes with newspaper or bubble wrap, use your towels or bed linens.
• After moving in, break down your boxes and put them in the recycle bin (in the Quad, take them to the basement); or better yet, flatten them and save them or send them home for a future move!

For more information about the College's sustainability and climate action, please visit barnard.edu/sustainability-climate-action.
