Before You Arrive

Welcome to the Brown Community!

Your journey to College Hill begins long before move-in day. To ensure you are move-in ready, we have compiled your essential "to-do" items into a clear, manageable roadmap. Consider this page your home base for everything you need to accomplish before you arrive.

  • You’re In! Here’s What Comes Next: Start here to finalize your enrollment. This includes submitting your final transcripts, closing the loop on academic records, and ensuring all your "First Things First" are checked off.
  • Pre-Arrival Checklist: From activating your Brown email and submitting health forms to uploading your ID photo and completing online education modules, this checklist ensures you don’t miss a single deadline.
  • Getting Ready for Life at Brown: Once the paperwork is handled, look ahead to daily life. Learn about housing assignments, meal plans, and how to ship your belongings to campus so you can hit the ground running.

Stay Proactive: Many of these tasks have firm summer deadlines. We recommend checking your Brown email regularly and visiting these pages often to stay on track. We can't wait to see you on campus!
