• GWid and PIN

• Personal items, including shampoo, soap, swimsuit, etc. (Sheets and towels will be provided.)
• Spending money (although all meals are included for students and registered parents and siblings.)

• Two forms of identification, including one US GOVERNMENT issued photo ID (drivers license, passport, etc.)

Once you arrive at CI....

Driving around campus on the morning of Day 1 can be confusing, so we recommend parking as soon as you can, and accessing campus on foot.  Leave your luggage in the car while you take care of CI Check-in. You'll have plenty of time to get your luggage over to Thurston Hall after check-in!

*  Park at the Visitor's Garage (22nd and H Streets) and leave your luggage in the car!  Parking will cost $8.00 per exit/per day.

*  Walk down the street to the Marvin Center (800 21st Street) and come up to the 3rd Floor for Check-in

*  After check-in, stop by your car, pick up your luggage and head over to your residence hall (Thurston at 1900 F Street)

*  After settling into your room, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the schedule (given to you at check-in) before joining us for the first official event!
