Check-in is where you get your keys! Please bring your photo ID. You can have two guests with you during your assigned move-in day, but each guest must be over the age of 16. If you’re moving into St. Joe Place, please note that only students should enter the building.
Looking for something to do after you unpack? Take a look at some of the student housing amenities such as the sand volleyball courts, basketball courts, and recreational items. You’ll also have access to building lounges and our pool and Ping-Pong tables.
Just moved in and having internet troubles? The Help Desk is all you need. Reach out to IT at 260-481-6030 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Waterfield Campus mail is delivered on Monday through Saturday and is sorted and placed in mailboxes by midafternoon, depending on mail volume. Resident mailboxes are located in the Clubhouse.
Packages are delivered, logged, and stored at the Clubhouse. To retrieve a package, bring the package slip from your mailbox with a photo ID to the front desk and follow the instructions in the package notification email you are sent after each package. Times allotted for pickup will vary depending on the Clubhouse hours, but students will usually be able to pick up packages before 11 a.m. and after 5 p.m. We cannot accept packages for individuals who have not yet moved in.
Please be mindful that we receive a very high volume of packages during the first few weeks of school. This may result in delays in package processing. We ask that you come to retrieve your package during the times allotted.
