When you arrive
Have your student ID ready Your UW student ID card
(Husky Card) allows you access to your residence hall and
dining facilities, and you will be asked to present it at checkin. You will be able to check in by showing another form of
photo ID; however, the Husky Card is your key card for access
to your residence hall. If you don’t receive your card before
you move in, you will need to obtain one from the Husky
Card Account & ID Center, located on the ground floor of
Odegaard Undergraduate Library. Office hours are Monday–
Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
You will receive your keys When you arrive at your
community to check in, you will be asked to present your
Husky Card or other form of photo ID. After your identity and
assignment information have been confirmed, you will be given your room and mailbox keys. You may then begin moving
in to your room.
Hook up your TV to satellite (optional) HuskyTV is a
satellite package arranged through the UW. If you have a
cable-ready TV, all you need is a coaxial cable to hook up
to your HuskyTV lineup. You must also program your TV
to receive the cable signal. If you have any problems with
access, please call the Facilities Services and Planning Office
at 206-543-4017.

Red emergency backpack We give you an emergency
kit—a red emergency backpack—at the beginning of your
first year in the residence halls. This comprehensive kit
includes water, food rations and other emergency supplies.
The contents will remain viable for several years. If you have
lived on campus in the past, pleas e bring your kit when you
return to campus. Please keep your emergency kit for as long
as you live with us.
Room/Apartment Condition Report (RCR) You should
inspect your room/apartment/cluster upon arrival and use
the RCR found in your room to note any existing damage to
furniture, surfaces and fixtures, or items missing from your
room, apartment or cluster. Return your RCR to your RA or
your Residential Life Office. When you vacate, housing staff
will use the report to determine if there are additional damages or missing items. Any damages or missing items not
declared on the report will be your responsibility and will be
charged to your account when you vacate.
OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO
Hook up your computer (optional) Students receive a UW
NetID, which is necessary to set up a UW email account. Personal computers connected to the UW network must be kept
free of viruses, use firewalls and be patched with updated
software. Compromised or infected computers will be denied
network access. If you have any problems with access, call
the UW IT Service Center at 206-221-5000 or email help@u.
