Next Steps Before Your Arrival
We have both morning and afternoon check-in time slots available for your convenience and to help shorten lines while taking care of business. Please select your check-in time below. Anyone who has not selected a check-in time by August 1 will be assigned a check-in time based on available slots left.
If you are in one of the following groups you DO NOT need to sign up for a check-in time:
- Football, Soccer, Volleyball, Golf, Cross Country, Speech and Debate, Programming, Paul Scholars, Esports. See your assigned check-in times above.
All other new freshmen and transfer students (living both on or off campus) will check in on August 23 at the time you select below.
If you have not completed all of your forms (Housing Contract, Course Pre-Registration, FERPA, etc.) please contact the Admission office to see what you may still be missing. We cannot assign your housing or classes until we have these forms completed.
Auditions will take place on Friday, August 23 and Saturday, August 24. If you want to participate in an ensemble, make sure you audition (if required) and get registered for it!
If you just want to meet our awesome health center staff or have a few basic questions about their services, they will be available for all students on the move-in days without an appointment. However, some students with chronic or other severe medical conditions appreciate having a conversation with our health center staff when they first arrive on campus. Our Nurse Practitioner, Suzanne Briggs, is offering appointments on move-in day and throughout the first week of school for anyone who would like a private opportunity to give more details than were provided on your health forms.
The Link to Schedule a health center appointment will be available later this summer.
April 15 - Early Housing Assignments: Any students who have their housing contract completed by April 15 will be housed by April 30. Student may or may not have a roommate assigned at this time. If we have a great match we’ll match at this time; if not, we’ll wait until we have more contracts submitted.
June 1 – Next Housing Round - Any applications that come in between April 16 and June 1 will be housed as we find good matches and no later than Jump Start Day on June 17.
After June 1 – Students who submit housing contracts after June 1 will be housed as soon as we are able to find good roommate matches and housing locations. Please note this can sometimes take a couple weeks as we may need to wait for more contracts to come in to find a good fit. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact emmy.lewis@cune.edu
To find your housing assignments:
- Log in to portal.cune.edu.
- Click on the “Student” tab at the top (may say “New Student”)
- Click on “Banner self-service”
- Click on “Student”
- Then click on “Housing, roommates, meal plans.”
- Make sure you choose the ‘Fall Semester 202510’ term.
If you have not completed your housing contract or it arrived in our office recently, your housing information may not be available yet.
We encourage you to start connecting as soon as possible with your roommate through social media, email, and phone conversations. Talk about who is bringing what items and start building a relationship now!
Please email our Housing Coordinator at emmy.lewis@cune.edu with any housing questions.
