May I check in early?
Housing and Residence Life cannot accommodate early check-ins. Residents should plan to check in on assigned move-in days. While students cannot drop off any belongings to their room prior to the assigned check-in time, students may ship items to Pepperdine up to 30 days prior to their arrival.
How do I enter my room? Where do I find my PIN?
To access your room, hold your student ID card up to the keypad above the doorknob, then enter your four-digit PIN code. If you do not know your PIN code, it can be found through your WaveNet account > Student Services > ID Card PIN Lookup.
Can I send packages before I arrive?
Belongings can be shipped to Pepperdine University Mail Services up to 30 days before your arrival. Please note that Mail Services will not deliver shipped items. All belongings must be picked up at the appropriate location/hours. Please reach out directly to Mail Services for more information regarding how to/where to send items.
We encourage you to bring essentials with you in case you are not able to visit the Mail Services office on the day of your arrival.
