We are excited to have you join us on campus this semester. Whether you are new on campus for the Spring semester, or you are returning from the Fall semester, we are looking forward to having you in the Residential Community! To be fully prepared for the Spring semester, please review the information below in order to have a successful move-in experience. And please remember to be mindful and considerate of your roommates by keeping your residence clean and orderly if you return before them.
New To Housing
Spring 2024 Move-In: January 19, 2024
Are you a new resident (starting at Sonoma State this Spring or was not living on campus for Fall)?
Visit the REACH Office during Check-In hours (see below) to activate your Seawolf ID card, or receive a temporary card until you receive a Seawolf ID card. You will also receive Move-In materials at this time. (Please scroll down on the page for additional information specific to you). *We are not able to accept early arrival requests.
Returning to Housing
Are you a resident who lived on campus for Fall and will be returning to the same room?
Your Seawolf ID card is NOT active for Spring 2024 and you will not be able to access your space until you activate it. You will be able to check in on January 20 and 21. REACH has designated three (3) locations on campus for check in between 9:00am - 4:00 pm
- Cabernet, Zinfandel & Verdot Residents will be able to pick up a temporary card (good until February 1) at the Semillion Pavilion Meeting room located in Zinfandel Village near the Semillion building. Closest parking in on the back side of Zinfandel by the Riesling and Semillion buildings. Residents will need to get their ID card encoded at the REACH Office before it expires February 1.
- Sauvignon Residents will be able to pick up a temporary card (good until February 1) or get their Seawolf ID card encoded for the semester at the Cooperage Meeting Room in Sauvignon Village near the Sirah building and the Sauvignon green. Closet parking would be "D Lot" by the Student Center and then a short walk across the street to the meeting room. Or, students can park in an available space near the apartment in Sauvignon. (The University is installing solar array near Sauvignon so some parking lots may be closed. Please see the most up to date information on the Campus Updates webpage.)
