Getting settled into your new home doesn’t just mean unpacking. You also need to become familiar with your neighborhood, meet your community support team, and learn how to get assistance if something comes up.
Get Situated
Set up Your Space
Have fun setting up your room just the way you like it. Adding your personal touch will create a sense of familiarity that will help you quickly become comfortable in your new space.
Connect to the Internet
Internet providers vary by building. Detailed directions on how to connect will be sent to your SF State email account upon check-in or you can visit the 'Residential Wi-Fi Services' page for more information.
Learn About Your Community
Wondering where the laundry rooms are, where to dispose of your trash, and how to pick up your mail? This information can be found on our 'Living in the Residential Community' page.
Get Acquainted
Get to Know Your Support Staff
Your community has live-in student leaders and Resident Assistants (RA) who are here to assist you in connecting with other students, becoming more familiar with campus, and to help you manage conflicts or get through challenges.
Explore Campus
There is so much to see and do on campus and the surrounding area. During your first few weeks here, we hope you'll take some time to explore and engage in campus life.
Get Things Done
Turn It In!
To avoid unnecessary charges at move-out, be sure to complete the Room Condition form within 3 days of move-in and the Occupancy Verification form between June 1 - 14 on the Student Housing Portal.
Learn About Housing Policies
All residents are responsible for knowing and abiding by the policies and procedures contained in the COMMUNITY LIVING STANDARDS GUIDE, so be sure to review it thoroughly.
Get Coverage
If you choose to obtain coverage for your personal property on an optional basis, GRADGUARD or other Third Party Vendor can provide protection from fire, water damage, theft and other causes of loss.
