A Smaller Crowd at Central Check-In

On both CCI days, all students, faculty and staff members are invited to stop by to purchase low-wattage light bulbs and fixtures

In addition to the required student business of enrollment, several services and local businesses will be represented at CCI:

  • Women & Financial Independence
  • Botanic Garden
  • Museum of Art
  • Easthampton Savings Bank
  • The Sophian
  • Citizens Bank
  • Smith Libraries
  • Family Weekend info
  • TD Bank
  • Dining Services
  • Building Services
  • United Bank
  • Public Safety
  • Information Technology Services
  • Computer Store
  • Recycling & Sustainability
  • Athletic Association
  • 5-College Credit Union

For many years, part of the rite, for all students coming to campus at the beginning of the academic year, had been an annual stop at the Indoor Track and Tennis (ITT) facility for Central Check-In. The yearly event allowed students to complete all their enrollment business in one, convenient stop.

This year, Central Check-In (CCI) is only mandated for first-year students.

The change was instituted because from year to year, the large majority of returning students at CCI typically only received their room keys and a catalogue. They will now pick up their room keys during hours separate from CCI; catalogues will be available when they pick up their keys.

For new students, however, CCI remains the one-stop enrollment venue it has always been. For two days next week—Monday, Aug. 30, 1-4 p.m., and Tuesday, Aug. 31, 9 a.m.-noon—students will file through CCI as they arrive on campus.

In addition to accommodating the requirements of enrollment, CCI offers an array of information tables representing services and vendors on and off campus (see accompanying list).

On both CCI days, all students, faculty and staff members are invited to stop by to purchase low-wattage light bulbs and lighting fixtures from TechniArt, a company that specializes in energy-efficient lighting fixtures. Switch out your incandescent bulbs for low-wattage models (cash or checks only for purchases).
