Checking In & Out


Checking In

Each resident may have up to 2 helpers assist during move-in.

  • Residents may check-in anytime (24 hours a day) after 9:00 a.m. on their confirmed academic year license start date.
  • The Front Desk, which is open 24 hours a day, will have your check-in packet.
  • Rolling bins for unloading your car and moving large items (Hayden Hall and D'Agostino Hall) are only usable until 11:00 p.m. due to the excessive noise they create.
  • Valid photo ID (license, passport, NYU ID Card, etc.) must be presented when you check-in.
  • For more information regarding what you should and should not bring when living in one of our residential building please take a look at our Residence Hall Policies page.

Arriving By Car

  • Being in the middle of New York City, parking is not provided. Large rolling bins are available to assist with moving your items from the car into the building. We recommend "live" parking in front of the building (someone should always remain with the car) while you unload. There are several parking garages in the area.

Moving Company Insurance Certificates

  • NYU requires a certificate of insurance from all moving companies prior to entering our buildings. Certificates must be shared with the Office of Facilities Services via email at lawhousingfacilities@mercury.law.nyu.edu at least 48 hours prior to the move date for approval. You may also call our Facilities team at (212) 998-6508.

    The requirements are:
    • New York University should be named as the certificate holder.
    • General liability limits must be at least $1,000,000.00 for both general aggregate and each occurrence.
    • Automobile liability insurance must have a combined single limit of at least $1,000,000.00.

Computer Connectivity

  • For all on-line services, residents must register their computer with the School of Law’s Office of Information Technology. ResNet instructions for residents of D’Agostino and Hayden Hall will be included in your check-in packet. Each bedroom has a ResNet connection. "ResNet", offers an uninterrupted high-speed ethernet connection to the Internet in the Hayden and D'Agostino residence halls.  As noted in our materials, only the licensee (not the family housing resident) is provided with ResNet access.
  • The WiFi network in D’Agostino and Hayden Halls provides wireless access to each room throughout the entire building, in addition to the in-room ResNet ethernet connections.
  • Contact the Department of Information & Technology Services with any questions you may have.

Property Insurance

  • As a reminder, the University does not provide property insurance. Please make arrangements for insurance if you are not already covered under another policy.
  • NYU assumes no responsibility for your personal property. This includes property lost, stolen, or damaged in academic and residential buildings. As noted in the housing license, each resident is responsible for his or her personal property; therefore, it is suggested that residents carry property insurance. Renters' or tenants' insurance is a form of personal property insurance which can provide a year of coverage at a reasonable cost. If you do not already have a policy that will cover lost or damaged property, you may choose to purchase an insurance policy, some of which are especially designed for university students. National Student Services Inc./Worth Ave. Group offers plans for students, and you can learn more about their services online.  Please note: The Educational Institution represented in the previous PDF is in no way affiliated with and in no way endorses or promotes Worth Ave. Group, LLC, Hanover Insurance Company, either company's affiliates, or any of the insurance or warranty products sold or advertised by these companies or their affiliates, including those products shown in the previous PDF.
