Residential Information

Any student is allowed to have a car on campus. Should you decide to bring your car to campus, you must register it and pay for a parking permit that will allow you to park in one of the parking areas on campus.

If you are a new student, you will get your picture taken upon your arrival to campus and receive your new student ID Card. Student IDs are necessary for accessing your residence hall after move-in day and for using your meal plan. Your ID has a chip in it and acts like a debit card—you will need it each time you spend money in the campus cafeteria or coffee shop.

The mandatory floor meeting for first-year students will be held on Saturday, August 19. Details about your meeting will be posted on your floor when you arrive. If you move in early, you will still be required to attend the meeting on August 19.

Since Westminster's ability to manage and store large quantities of shipped items is limited, students are discouraged from shipping items ahead of their arrival. If you are moving from a distance that prevents you from driving your items into the city, arrange to have things shipped to campus after the official move-in weekend. You are strongly advised to travel with everything you'll need for the first few days of living in the residence halls until your additional items arrive.
