Arrival Information

Central Check In
Central Check In (CCI) will be your first stop when you arrive on campus for Orientation. At CCI you will find “one stop shopping” -  receive the keys to your house and room and your college identification card (OneCard), as well as clearance from the Health Services and Student Financial Services offices. You will also have the opportunity to open a bank account and learn about many of the wonderful services Smith has to offer. Central Check In is required and you must complete the process before you proceed to your house. You must arrive during the CCI hours stated below. CCI is held in the Indoor Track and Tennis facility (ITT) on West Street.


For Fall 2009, CCI hours for all new students are as follows:

Sunday, August 30 from 1 to 4 p.m.
This is an early arrival opportunity which might be particularly helpful for students traveling from a long distance. There is no orientation programming or food service for new students until lunch on Monday, August 31.

Monday, August 31 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon
Dining and Orientation activities for new students will begin with lunch on this day.

Once you have completed Central Check In you will proceed to your house to move in. There you will be greeted by Heads of New Students (HONS) and Residence Life staff members who will help you get settled. If you arrive on Sunday, the rest of the evening is yours to settle in, explore downtown Northampton for dinner, or make that last minute run to the store. On Monday, simply follow along the Orientation schedule that you will receive at Central Check In.
