At the Residence Life (ResLife) Office
- If the ResLife office is open (usually 9am-5pm, 7pm-12am), then the staff will help you check in and get your keys. Please note that students living on Bay State Road, or in South Campus will need to get their BU ID cards at the Terrier Card Office before they can get into their dorms. Ask the staff if you need assistance.
