Move-in Day

When you arrive at RiverView, you may park in the angle parking on Commerce Street, in the RiverView Circle Drive, or in other public parking spaces that may be available.

Check-in will take place in the RiverView Lobby, where you will receive room keys and get pictures taken for security purposes.

Transportation

The UWM Shuttle will be operating throughout Move-In. You’ll have easy access to the Kenwood campus to pick-up books, find your classes, and visit other residence halls.

Milwaukee County Transit System is also another reasonable option to explore the surrounding area. Route 21 stops directly across from Cambridge and connects to a number of other routes. Be sure to pick up your U-PASS to enjoy free rides on MCTS. For more information, visit www.ridemcts.com.

For the ease of traffic flow, we ask you use these directions instead of any other GPS or map service’s directions. From I-43, take the Capitol Drive exit and proceed East. Follow Capitol Drive across the Milwaukee River until you reach Oakland Avenue. Turn right on Oakland and proceed south to North Avenue. Turn right on North Avenue. RiverView will be across the river, on your right side.

Security & Guest Policies

Security monitors are present in the RiverView lobby 24 hours a day to swipe IDs of everyone entering the building. RiverView residents may swipe into Cambridge and Sandburg (and vice versa) until midnight. Residents may register guests, but all guests must have a photo ID. This includes family members and anyone age 16 or over. Guests 15 or under must have a signed waiver “Minor Guest Registration Form” on file. Guests will not be admitted entrance without proper identification. If you wish to pre-register your guests to ensure quick and easy entrance upon arrival to RiverView, visit www.guestpass.uwm.edu. Residents are responsible for their guests’ conduct. It is the resident’s responsibility to inform his/her guests of University Housing policies.

Guest Pre-Registration

Pre-register your family and friends prior to your arrival for move-in. To pre-register your guests, fill out the host and guest information online at www.guestpass.uwm.edu. If you complete the form on your mobile device, you can even take a selfie to upload as your photo in the guest pass system! When you get to campus, finish the guest registration process by getting the host/guest photo taken (if necessary) and obtaining your guest pass. We suggest finishing the guest registration process before entrances have security monitors (7pm) as this will shorten your wait time.
