Welcome back or welcome to Leverett!
Please read below for helpful information about moving into Leverett House. Most answers can be found here.
Key Dates
- 9/06/2008: Saturday The House opens. Students can begin moving in starting at 9a.m.
Parking
There are parking monitors to assist during move-in and direct you where to park. Please limit your parking time to 20 minutes, so others can drop off briskly.
Checking In
When you arrive on campus, come to the Building Manager's office to get your room key and a welcome letter that contains important information including your mailbox number and combination. You can also get toilet paper, trash bags, molding hooks, and Harvard-approved adhesives at the Building Manager's office. You can also get a lot of answers to common questions by visiting the following link Paul's FAQ. Check the website before contacting Paul as move in is an extremely busy time.
ID Cards
You will receive a new Harvard Identification (ID) card. This ID card utilizes state-of-the-art technology, and is known as a non-contact Smartcard. The non-contact feature no longer requires the card to be "swiped" through card readers for residential building access and instead only requires the card to be in close proximity to a reader to gain building access. The magnetic strip will remain on the card to allow for continued access to non-residential facilities and other business services. You will pick up your new ID card from the building manager's office along with your key. You will need to show your old Harvard ID card and a second form of ID (i.e. Driver's License or Passport) when picking up the new ID. If you have lost your old ID card you must go to ID Services and get a new ID. Do not punch holes in your new ID or you will render it useless!
Storage Hours
If you stored with college boxes then your boxes should already be in your rooms. Any concerns with your items should be directed towards Paul Hegarty (Leverett superintendent) and Mark Ely of college boxes at marke@collegeboxes.com.
Package Depot
All packages (UPS, Postal Service, FedEx Ground) except Overnight Deliveries must be picked up from the Package Depot located next to the dining hall. The Depot will be open from 9/2 through 9/26 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., except Sunday, September 14 and Sunday, September 21. You will get an email to alert you when your package(s) have arrived. Mail that can fit in your mailbox (non-packages) will be delivered to your mailbox in D-entryway outside of the dining hall.
Decorating Your Suite
Please don't use nails, tacks, picture hooks, tape, or other objects/adhesives that create holes in a surface. You can get poster gum or molding hooks and picture wire for free in the Building Manager's office. PLEASE DO NOT PAINT YOUR SUITE OR YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY HARVARD CONTRACTORS TO REPAINT IT!
Getting Online
Please direct any questions about setting up or maintaining your network connection to the Computer Services Help Desk at 5-9000 or help@fas.harvard.edu. Visit FAS Computing for more information.
Plan accordingly and good luck getting back.
