Attention Carthage Early Arrival Athletes and Special Program Student Staff:

Your arrival to campus in Fall 2017 will be a lot easier, thanks to a new online Check-In tab in My.Carthage.edu. This year, you will be able to complete most check-in steps online beginning May 15, 2017.

For all students needing to arrive early for fall athletic commitments or special program commitments, you need to complete all the tasks on the Check-In tab by Aug. 1 to secure your Virtual Check-In Sticker, which confirms you have completed all tasks. You will need to print out to present or display via phone your Virtual Check-In Sticker upon arrival. This will make your arrival move efficiently on your respective date.

The tasks on the Check-In tab will include:

  • Student Accounts — Carthage Financial Planning Form
  • Registrar Schedule Verification and Address Updates
  • Financial Aid Documentation
  • Student Affairs Community Code Notification
  • Medical Information including:
  • Emergency Contact Information
  • Health Insurance Information
  • Medical History Information
  • Meningitis/Hepatitis B
  • Parking Permit

Students who do not complete online check-in by Aug. 1 and attempt to arrive early will not receive their residence hall or mailbox keys, Carthage ID campus access, or parking permits. Students who must arrive on campus early for employment or campus programs should contact their employer or coach directly.

Be sure to note the times and locations as they vary by date and arrival group:
