Student Self Check In
GW Housing Programs and the Residential Life Service Cluster support and encourage a more paperless process for checking-in and checking-out of your residence hall room.
To ease your arrival process during move-in, GW Housing Programs is automatically
entering every undergraduate GW student who completes the Self Check-in process
and brings the registration card to move-in into a Colonial Cash Self Check-In Promotion raffle to win 10 prizes of
Colonial Cash.
At the beginning of the fall and spring terms, students are encouraged to log-into the GW Housing Programs Student Web to complete self check-in and provide up-to-date emergency contact information. At the conclusion of each term, students are encouraged to revisit the portal to complete self check-out.
After you have reviewed the instructions below, please log-into the GW Housing Programs Student Web to complete the Self Check-In process. Note: to complete the check-in process, you must use Internet Explorer and turn off your pop-up blockers.
Please remember to disable any pop-up blockers you may have activated. Once you have reached the login page, enter your NetID and your e-mail password. Your NetID is the first half of your GW e-mail address (ex. jsmith@gwu.edu your NetID would be jsmith).
Once you have logged-in to the GW Housing Programs Student Web, you are presented with two sets of links on the left side: Bookings and Self Check-In.
Bookings: This set of links will direct you to information about your housing assignment, roommate(s), and meal plan information. If you have been confirmed for an assignment for the full academic year, both semesters will be represented on this page.
Self Check-In: These links are where you will confirm your housing assignment and print out your “Check-In Registration Card” which will assist you in a quicker check-in process when arriving to campus.
Once you click on the Self Check-In link, you will be brought to a page where you must update your emergency contact information which will be printed on your “Check-In Registration Card.” Please Note: All fields with a red dot are required before proceeding. Once you have updated this information, click Next to proceed.
By clicking Next, you are brought the confirmation page where you may verify all your assignment information once more prior to officially checking-in. If the information is correct, please click Check-In in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. If you ever need to return to this page to print out your Registration Card or update your emergency contact information, you may do so at any time.
After clicking Check-In, a new window will open which will contain your “Check-In Registration Card.” This is what you need to print out and bring with you to campus. Once you have printed this document, sign it, date it, and then you are all set to pick up your key at the Move-In Hub sites.
