Next Steps Before Your Arrival
Anyone who did not select a check-in time by August 1 has been assigned one. To view your check-in time:
- Log in to portal.cune.edu.
- Click on the “Student” tab at the top (may say “New Student”)
- Click on “Banner self-service”
- Click on “Student”
- Then click on “Housing, roommates, meal plans.”
- Make sure you choose the ‘Fall Semester 202310’ term. (NOT the one with “teach-out”)
- If you have any questions about your check-in time please email SLOhousing@cune.edu
If you have not completed all of your forms (Housing Contract, Course Pre-Registration, FERPA, etc.) please contact the Admission office to see what you may still be missing. We cannot assign your housing or classes until we have these forms completed.
- A Cappella and Handbells Auditions will take place on Friday, August 19.
- Auditions for Concert Band, Cantamus, and Male Chorus are on Saturday, August 20.
- Auditions are not required for the Mixed Chorus.
If you just want to meet our awesome health center staff or have a few basic questions about their services, they will be available for all students on the move-in days without an appointment. However, some students with chronic or other severe medical conditions appreciate having a conversation with our health center staff when they first arrive on campus. Our Nurse Practitioner, Suzanne Briggs, is offering appointments on move-in day and throughout the first week of school for anyone who would like a private opportunity to give more details than were provided on your health forms.
April 15 - Early Housing Assignments: Any students who have their housing contract completed by April 15 will be housed by April 30. Student may or may not have a roommate assigned at this time. If we have a great match we’ll match at this time; if not, we’ll wait until we have more contracts submitted.
June 1 – Next Housing Round - Any applications that come in between April 16 and June 1 will be housed as we find good matches and no later than Jump Start Day on June 20.
After June 1 – Students who submit housing contracts after June 1 will be housed as soon as we are able to find good roommate matches and housing locations. Please note this can sometimes take a couple weeks as we may need to wait for more contracts to come in to find a good fit. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact Von.Thomas@cune.edu.
To find your housing assignments:
- Log in to portal.cune.edu.
- Click on the “Student” tab at the top (may say “New Student”)
- Click on “Banner self-service”
- Click on “Student”
- Then click on “Housing, roommates, meal plans.”
- Make sure you choose the ‘Fall Semester 202310’ term. (NOT the one with “teach-out”)
If you have not completed your housing contract or it arrived in our office recently, your housing information may not be available yet.
We encourage you to start connecting as soon as possible with your roommate through social media, email, and phone conversations. Talk about who is bringing what items and start building a relationship now!
Please email our Housing Coordinator at Von.Thomas@cune.edu with any housing questions.
