Yes. However, DePaul cannot offer additional assistance after 5 p.m. Residents will not be allowed to move in to their space
on any day before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. Please keep this restriction in mind when making any travel arrangements.
CAN I SHIP BOXES TO CAMPUS PRIOR TO MY MOVE-IN DAY?

for mailing information. It is possible that you will not have immediate access to your packages when they arrive at the Mail
Center. If there are specific items that you require immediately upon arrival, you should bring them with you. As long as your
packages arrive after September 3, you should experience limited, if any, delays in obtaining them. Mail Center hours during

FAQ’S 5
EADY
GETTING R
BE PREPARED!
NEED A MOVING TRUCK? YOU’RE BRINGING TOO MUCH!
Due to limited parking at our campus’ urban location, DePaul Parking Services requests that you do not bring a trailer for Move-In day.
Pack medium-sized boxes and label them correctly. Don’t pack them too heavy, because you might have to carry them up stairs. It is very
common on Move-In day for a line to form for the elevators. Residents on the second or third floors will have to take the stairs. In addition,
not all buildings have elevators (please see the chart on pages 10-11).
Bring a hand truck or dolly for stacking boxes and to help make each trip from the car more productive.
Recruit strong helpers to come with you on Move-In day to assist in unloading and getting your belongings up to your room quickly. Staff
assistance is strategically placed at the more congested areas of campus. We will not be able to offer moving assistance to every student,
therefore, we rely on residents and families to come prepared with moving help and equipment.
Remember to be patient. DePaul’s Lincoln Park Campus is in an urban neighborhood. Our staff will be available to keep move-in traffic
flowing so as not to disrupt neighborhood/city traffic. Please partner with us to make this move-in experience a smooth one.
Check the weather forecast! Bring umbrellas, tarps for unloading items to the curb, and rain gear, just in case.
GETTING AROUND CHICAGO
Lincoln Park is a busy and urban neighborhood with an endless supply of great stores and
restaurants. Coping with heavy traffic is easy if you’re not driving. Walking or riding a bike in Lincoln
Park can be ten times faster and 100 times less frustrating than driving.
Getting around in downtown Chicago is easy as everything is just an “L” ride away and you can use
your U-Pass for train (“L”) and bus transportation via the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). U-Passes
will be distributed in the Student Center the first week of the fall quarter.
Chicago makes it easy for you to ride a bike!
• Bike racks are available throughout the city.
• Bike paths are located along the lake, on major city streets, and in some parks.
• Bikes are allowed on CTA trains during off-peak hours.
• There are designated bike racks in front of each residence hall to lock and store your bike, and
some in courtyard areas.
• Bicycles cannot be stored in your residence hall room. To store your bike in campus
corrals, you will need to register your bike at the beginning of the year with DePaul
Parking Services: 773-325-7275.

MOVING IN
STEPS TO MOVE IN
ARRIVE AT YOUR RESIDENCE HALL CHECK-IN STATION
1 • Pull your vehicle into a designated unloading zone for your building (see campus map on
page 22) and follow the unloading procedures described below.
• If you are living in Sheffield Square, please go to the Sanctuary Hall check-in station on
Move-In day. Centennial Hall residents check-in at Corcoran Hall (East Area Office).
• While you (the resident) are checking in, you will be able to park temporarily in the designated
unloading zones for your building.
CHECK-IN TO RECEIVE YOUR KEYS AND IMPORTANT INFO
2 • Bring your DePaul Student ID and check-in with staff inside the building. You will pick up your
keys, Housing Condition Report (HCR), Guide to Student Housing, parking wristbands for the
day, and other materials.
• When you check in, you will receive information on how to complete your Housing Condition
Report (HCR), which gives you the opportunity to assess the condition of items in your room
at the time of your arrival to campus. COMPLETE YOUR HOUSING CONDITION REPORT!
Take a few minutes to inspect your room. If there are damages, note them on the HCR.
Please complete and submit the HCR within 48 hours to ensure that you will not be
financially accountable for pre-existing damages upon moving out of your space at the
end of the year.
UNLOAD YOUR CAR QUICKLY

you to park in designated parking lots free of charge on
these scheduled dates only.

YOUR BUIL
DECORATING YOUR ROOM
Residents are encouraged to personalize their living areas. However, there are guidelines that must be followed when decorating a
campus living space. Keep the following guidelines in mind when planning the decor for your new home:
• Residents may post items on to the doorjamb or wall, immediately adjacent to the door, by using masking tape or poster putty.
• Windows are intended to provide natural light and ventilation and are not to serve as a display space for residents.
• Residents may not paint their unit or make other alterations that affect the current condition of the walls, ceiling, and flooring.
• Residents are allowed to do the following: bring personal furniture and accessories to their unit and move or set up university-
provided or personal furniture within their unit. Room design must be aligned with the campus housing policies and all roommate(s)
must be in agreement about the furniture arrangement. If you are bringing additional furniture, particularly used and/or upholstered
furniture, please clean the surfaces thoroughly to avoid bringing pests into the building.
• Residents are not allowed to bring their own personal mattress or bed. All residents are required to use the university-provided bed
frame and mattress as they meet university fire safety standards.
• All window treatments (blinds or drapes) must remain in units. For safety reasons, residents may not install or hang other window
treatments.
• Residents are not permitted to move community furniture (e.g. lounge furniture) into their rooms or to remove university-provided
furniture from their rooms or apartments.
• Only university-sanctioned lofts from the specified vendor may be used. For the academic term 2011–2012, please contact Residence
Hall Council (see page 20) for loft rental information.
• For fire safety reasons, extension cords and outlet splitters are not allowed. Decorative string lighting is not allowed either, as this type
of lighting is very similar to an extension cord.
LAUNDRY
Every DePaul residence hall has laundry facilities in the building that accept quarters. Some residence halls also offer a Demon Express
swipe card option. Buildings with apartment-style units offer laundry facilities, too. Please see the building chart on pages 10–11 for more
information. All washing machines are high-efficiency machines and require a minimal amount of laundry soap. For more information on
how to use the laundry machines, check out our Web site, or the instructional signage in each laundry facility. A load of laundry costs
$1 to wash and $1 to dry. Most campus laundry rooms feature extra-large-capacity washing machines.

the students, faculty, staff, visitors and neighbors, and to protect university property. DePaul Public Safety provides the following services:
emergency response, escort service and hospital transportation, crime prevention and security awareness, crime victim assistance,
safety tips, and lost and found. To contact Public Safety at the Lincoln Park Campus, call 773-325-7777.
CAMPUS ESCORT SERVICE
The DePaul University Office of Public Safety provides an escort service for students, faculty, and staff whose circumstances require them
to travel alone on campus. Evening escorts are available between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. every day. The escort service is only
for purposes of traveling to and from on-campus locations.
MEDCARE
The DePaul Student Health Service is offered at Sage Medical Center, located on the second floor of 1150 W. Fullerton Ave., and is
available to all students at the university on a quarterly basis. The health service is for the diagnosis and treatment of minor illnesses and
minor injuries; this is NOT a health insurance plan. All resident students will be automatically billed for student health services. In order
to waive the fee, students must provide a copy of their personal insurance card to the Dean of Students Office, Room 307 of the Lincoln
Park Student Center within the first two weeks of the quarter.
IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION
It is especially important that students living in DePaul housing have complete immunization records on file with the DePaul Central. An
incomplete or missing immunization record will not only block your registration, it will prevent you from living in the residence halls. Illinois
state law requires all students to have the following inoculations:
• Tetanus/Diphtheria within the past ten years
• 2 Measles (Rubella)
• Mumps
• Rubella (German Measles)
MENINGITIS VACCINE
The Dean of Students Office encourages all incoming freshmen, particularly those who will live in the residence halls, to consider a

RESIDENCE HALL COUNCIL (RHC)
Residence Hall Council (RHC) provides a great way for residential students to get involved. RHC is made up of student representatives
from each hall on campus. Fellow residents elect all the representatives of the council and executive board. RHC was established as a
means to voice the concerns of the student body living on campus. Residents can freely address issues, such as security, food service,
or any other needs students may feel could be enhanced by campus services. RHC also takes an active role in providing programming,
ranging, from “Midnight BBQs” to “Lil’ Siblings Weekend,” for students who live in the residence halls. All funds are used for student
activities and events that take place frequently throughout the academic year. For more information, feel free to contact the RHC office
by visiting its Web site: rhc.depaul.edu.
LOFT AND MICRO-FRIDGE RENTALS
RHC exclusively rents lofts and micro-fridges as a fundraising initiative to support residential programs in the halls. All loft and/or micro-
fridge orders must be placed prior to Move-In day. When placing a rental order, please confirm with all of your roommates first; each room
is only allowed ONE microwave and fridge. Rental items will be delivered to the resident’s room prior to Move-In day, during the last week
of August. RHC will mail you its offers and information later this summer.
LOFTS
RHC is the exclusive contact for renting lofts; residents are not permitted to bring their own lofts to campus. Residents are unable to rent
loft frames if they are assigned to an apartment-style room. Please refer all rental questions to the RHC at the contact information above.
Residents will be responsible for the assembly of lofts upon delivery to their rooms. Lofts will not be collected until the last week of spring
quarter and must remain in the unit until that time, even if a resident moves out off campus early.
Refunds are not available.
MICRO-FRIDGES
RHC is the provider for mini-fridge and microwave/mini-fridge (micro-fridge) units and has exclusive rights to do business on university
property and provide the renting of combination micro-fridge units to residents.
