TIP: Not sure what floor you're assigned to? The first digit of your room number (that you can see on your Application Overview page of your student housing application) indicates the floor where your room is located. For example, if you're assigned to Acacia-104-A1, you're on the first floor.

In order to make your check-in process as smooth as possible, please plan to arrive at a designated time based on the first letter of your last name. This helps keep lines short at the check-in area, equipment stations, and elevators. You won't be penalized for arriving early, but arriving during your designated time helps keep Move-In Days smooth for everyone!

If your last name starts with:	Your designated arrival time is:
A – d	9 – 10 a.m.

i – M	11 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Room and Meal Plan Access via TitanCard

Please remember that your TitanCard serves as your room and meal plan access card when entering your building and the Titan Dining Hall. Please make sure your TitanCard is not worn out or damaged prior to check-in, as the encoding system will not work on damaged cards. You can  request a replacement online through TitanCard and we'll have it ready for pick up when you arrive.

If you've never had a TitanCard, please check your Cal State Fullerton email for instructions from the TitanCard office regarding requesting your new student ID card online. You are required to have your TitanCard order to check in to student housing, so please ensure you complete this online process prior to arrival. We'll also have TitanCard staff on-site on Move-In if you haven't requested your card by the time you arrive.

Please follow these instructions when using your TitanCard to gain access to your assigned room:

• Swipe your TitanCard at the door of the apartment/residence hall/suite to which you have been assigned. If the light is:
  • Red : Wait 1 - 2 minutes, and swipe a second time. If you receive a red light again, report the issue to the Housing Office.
  • Yellow/Amber : Input your PIN (the last 4 digits of your CWID) to unlock the door.
  • Green: You may enter your space now. Within 24 hours you will be required to enter your PIN when accessing your space. If this persists, please report the issue to the Housing Office.

On Move-In, you will be issued a key for your designated mailbox (apartments and residence halls only). In addition, apartment residents will be issued bedroom keys which will provide access to their specific bedrooms within each apartment.

Room Condition Reports

You are required to complete a Room Condition Report as part of the check-in process.

After you check in, you'll be able to see a link on the CSUF Student Housing Portal homepage to complete your Room Condition Report. The report will ask you to verify some information about yourself, your room assignment, and then you'll be able to mark the condition of areas in your assigned space to indicate the condition they were in when you arrived. Checking in with our staff and completing a Room Condition Report are required parts of the check-in process. Failure to complete either step will result in a $30 Improper Check-in Fee .

At the end of your stay with us, our staff will compare the condition of your space with the information you provided on your check-in Room Condition Report, so filling it out accurately may help you avoid facing damage or cleaning charges at the end of your stay. If you choose not to submit a Room Condition Report upon move-in, you forfeit the ability to appeal any damage or cleaning charges after your departure from your housing assignment.
