What to Bring and Not Bring to Campus
What not to bring is equally as important as what to bring. Therefore, students, especially freshmen, are strongly encouraged not to bring everything on move-in day that they think they might need during the course of the year.
Guest Pass
All guests must be registered with the University by a University student. Students should log into their StarRez Student Portal by clicking the FAIRFIELD – Student SSO Login button at the bottom of the login page. Once logged in, students should complete the Guest Pass Registration Form within the Helpful Links box.
After submitting the Guest Pass Form, the Fairfield student will receive an email confirming that their guest has been registered. The student must forward this confirmation email to their guest, who should present it along with a valid photo ID while visiting campus.
If the guest is bringing a vehicle, the student host and the guest are required to come to the Parking Office with their vehicle registration, ID, guest pass confirmation email, and student host’s Stag Card to obtain a guest parking pass. If the Parking Office is closed, they can stop by DPS and obtain one there. The guest must be present with the host when obtaining the guest pass.
