Checking in to Your Residence
Once you’re on campus, check into your assigned residence hall at the front desk using your Mobile MIT ID barcode in the MIT Atlas mobile application (Menu>Profile>MIT ID Barcode) to receive your keys. Staff are available at residence halls front desks between 8:00 am and 12:00 am, though we strongly encourage you to arrive between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm if possible.
Move on or after your move-in date
If you are not approved for an early arrival by HRS, you cannot move into your room/residence hall early.
Housing staff is unable to provide access to your room/residence hall until the returning student move-in date.
All unauthorized early arrivals will be charged an early return penalty and a daily housing charge.
No exceptions will be made to this policy.
Transportation to Campus
There is no MIT shuttle service to campus from the airport. Instead, students typically utilize taxis, rideshare services, or the MBTA ("The T") public transportation system.
Guests are permitted in the residence halls to assist you during move-in. All visitors will be asked to sign in at the residence hall’s front desk and show a government-issued or MIT ID. You must be with your guests at all times while in the residence hall. Non-MIT overnight guests are not permitted in undergraduate residence halls and FSILGs until after classes begin.
