Fast Pass Check-In

Introducing Fast Pass Check-In, conveniently located where you unload your vehicle for Move-In Day.  Once you arrive on-campus simply follow the correct traffic pattern to your buildings unloading zone. From there a Resident Mentor will check you in quickly to avoid the hassel of having to enter the residence hall during the unloading process.  

Whether you’re a new student or a family that has multiple students at Carolina, Fast Pass Check-In can help you get into the residence halls quickly and efficiently while eliminating stress and maximizing your time.


Before You Arrive

  • All students should pick up their Carolina Card prior to arriving for Move-In.  You will need this for any check in process including Fast Pass.
  • Residents must complete all normal college vaccinations and be cleared by Student Health Services in order to check in.  Discover more about vaccination requirements.
