Welcome to Ram Country

Colorado State University is at the heart of Fort Collins. Planting our roots here in 1870, we have been a key part of the community ever since. CSU provides an experience for students that we hope will make you proud to be a CSU Ram. It all starts with Move-In Day!

MOVE-IN AND RAM WELCOME 2020 FAQ FOR MOVE-IN FALL 2020

MOVE IN 2020

To support public health guidelines, including physical distancing, Move-In will look a little different this year. Move-In will take place over a 5-day period between Monday, Aug. 17 - Friday, Aug. 21 and arrivals will be limited to 15 residents per building. Specific time slots for each student and up to 2 guests or helpers will be arranged prior to your arrival on campus. If you are moving into a hall, you will receive an email from CSU Housing with directions for how to schedule your specific Move-In date and hour of arrival online at MyHousing.colostate.edu. Once on campus, check in will be easy. Since much of the process will have already been done online all that will be required is completing any remaining important paperwork and signing for and receiving keys. The Housing website has additional information on the fall 2020 move-in process and a list of what will be provided in each room and what you can and cannot bring to your rooms this fall.

RAM WELCOME

All new students are expected to attend Ram Welcome. Ram Welcome is an opportunity to build upon your orientation experience and begin your successful adjustment to Colorado State University by exploring academic programs, meeting faculty and staff, learning about the many services available to support your college experience, connecting with other new and current students, learning traditions and discovering what it means to be a CSU Ram! Fall 2020 Ram Welcome will primarily be virtual in order to follow physical distancing and public health guidelines. More information will be e-mailed to students in early August and on the Ram Welcome website.

ramwelcome.colostate.edu ARE FAMILY MEMBERS OR HELPERS ABLE TO ASSIST ME MOVE IN?

Guests/Move-In helpers are limited to 2 per resident and are asked to leave campus by the end of Move-In day. Overnight guests are not permitted in the residence halls. Move-In volunteers will not be available this year to provide move-in assistance as in past years. Residents may choose to bring a personal cart/dolly to help move in their belongings. Housing & Dining Services also has a limited number of carts available for check-out in the lobby and will provide disinfectant wipes to clean before and after use.

ARE MASKS REQUIRED DURING MOVE-IN?

All students, guests, and staff are required to wear masks in public spaces on university grounds, including outdoors, at all times.

ARE THERE ITEMS I SHOULD NOT BRING?

This year, large items and furniture such as couches, futons, entertainment systems, large chairs, etc., are prohibited in order to ensure an efficient move-in process and mitigate long lines and crowding. Smaller furniture such as folding chairs (that are easy to move in/out) are permitted.

CAN I HAVE MY BED LOFTED PRIOR TO ARRIVING?

To limit staff entry into rooms this year and support physical distancing, we are eliminating the option of having lofted beds in rooms. All beds will be set to the medium height (which allows for 30” of storage underneath the bed). We also cannot permit students and families to loft beds on their own because it risks damage to the room and/or injury to students if not properly set up.

IS IT OK TO HAVE ITEMS SHIPPED AHEAD TO MY ROOM?

Yes! Residents are encouraged to ship as many items as possible prior to Move-In. More information about shipping and 3rd party vendors will be shared in the coming weeks.
