Steps for a Dam Good Move-In Day
Activate your ONID and set up Duo multi-factor authentication
Students must have their ONID activated and multi-factor authentication enabled in order to access services such as OSU email accounts, the myHousing Portal and campus WiFi.
Monitor your ONID email account
All official communications from OSU will be sent to your ONID email account. All current and incoming students are encouraged to check their email at least once a week prior to the start of Fall term.
Upload your student ID photo
Student IDs serve as ID, key card and meal card on the OSU-Cascades campus. To make the transition to campus as smooth as possible for everyone, all residents must upload their student ID photo before arriving on campus.
To upload your photo:
- Visit OSU myCard.
- Log in with your ONID.
- Click the avatar circle next to your name to upload a photo.
Sign up for a check-in time
All residents must sign up for a check-in time for move-in day. This reduces lines and wait times for resources for everyone. This check-in time is a 30-minute window for you and your family to arrive and pick up your student ID. Once you have checked-in you may take as long as you need to get settled into your room.
Residents can sign up for a check-in time on the myHousing Portal:
- Log into the myHousing Portal.
- Visit the "Housing Information" page.
- Click the orange "Sign up for a check-in time" link.
Understand your Room and Dining Contract
It is important to read and understand the Room and Dining Contract. A few basic facts about the contract can be found online, however, it is important to refer to the Room and Dining Contract for specific details and provisions.
Plan What you are Bringing
A general list of what to bring and what to leave behind is available to help you as you pack for OSU-Cascades. We suggest working with your roommate(s) and/or suitemate(s) so that you don't bring two of the same item. We recommend you review our Policy Guide for detailed guidelines.
Remember to bring a state-issued photo ID on move-in day!

Bringing a car
With easy access to grocery stores, restaurants and other destinations within walking distance from campus, many students find bringing a car is not necessary.
If you need to bring a car, register your car before bringing a vehicle. More information about purchasing a residential parking permit can be found on the Transportation Services page.
