Move-In Mondays: Campus Hotspots

It won't be long before students arrive for Fall Welcome. We know arriving at a new place, even one you have visited can be a bit disorienting. That's why our "Move-In Monday" series continues today with some EC campus orienteering. The Residence Life team shared some of the go-to spots on campus that you should check out while you’re here.

Begin by downloading and printing the campus map to have on hand until you are familiar with the campus.

Here are important things to know about some of the buildings:

McGraw Hall
  • Home to many of the administrative offices you may need to speak to from time to time including the following three offices. Meet some of the team members in this short video.

    • The Financial Aid Office is there to help answer any questions related to your financial aid package throughout your educational career at EC. They are located on the first floor of McGraw.

    • The Bursar's Office. This is where to handle any billing questions or make payments. This is different from the Financial Aid Office, but both offices are located in the same office suite on the first floor.

    • The Registrar's Office handles all student records. Stop by this office, also on the first floor, if you have questions about class registration or transcripts.

Post Office
  • Located near the fountain and across from the Bookstore, this is where you go if you need to mail, ship something, or pick up a package.

Move-In Mondays: Campus Hotspots
Campus Center
  • A central spot on campus. The CC is home to Campus Life, Residence Life, the George Waters Art Gallery, the IDEA Center, Tifft Lounge, and the main campus dining options: the Dining Hall (second floor), the 1855 Room that serves Starbucks (first floor), and MacKenzie's (first floor).
  • The Residence Life Office is located on the first floor of the Campus Center. You will also find Residence Life Professional Staff in specific residence halls who are there to help make your transition easier.

The College Store
  • Pick up your textbooks and purchase your Elmira College-branded gear here. You can use the online College Store to order your books with your student ID or a credit card. Once you have a course list, simply enter your course IDs and the books you need will populate and you can pick the ones you want to purchase. Just follow the prompts and you can direct the books to be sent to the bookstore, where you can pick them up. If you choose to order books from a different online source they can get sent to your school address and you can pick them up at the Post Office on campus.

Corey House
  • If your ID card is lost or stolen, visit Campus Safety, located in the Corey House (720 Park Place, across the street from McGraw Hall). PRO TIPS:

    • Add the Campus Safety number to your cell phone contacts: 607-735-1777. Campus Safety personnel are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year in the event of an emergency or for assistance, including escorts anywhere on campus at any time.

    • Be sure to sign up for the EC Alert system to receive emergency and weather-related alerts.

Gannett-Tripp Library
Clarke Health Center
  • This is the place that can help manage prescription medications, colds, strains, or scrapes.

  • The CHC is also home to Counseling. Students have the option of in-person, or virtual appointments with a counselor. Appointments are scheduled through the Clarke Health Center, 607-735-1750.

  • If you’re a student-athlete, you’ll find Sports Medicine located in the CHC as well
