Before You Leave Home

SEPTEMBER MOVE-IN STUDENTS: You must have a MOVE-IN TIME SLOT
To space things out, each building has a limit to the number of student check-ins per time slot. These will be available on a first-come first-served basis, and each building will have a limited number of time slots available.

Your Pre-Move-In Check List

Preparing for your move to campus is exciting – and daunting. That’s because there’s lots to do before you arrive for your move-in day. Use this checklist to keep on top of your To-Do’s as you count down the days to the big move!

JULY

  • Accept your Housing Offer!

Residence offers are sent by email. You’ll have seven days to accept the offer and pay your first installment of residence fees and/or meal plan fees.

  • Give others permission to contact the Housing Office (If you’d like)

If you’d like to give others (like parents or a spouse) permission to contact the Housing Office on your behalf, you need to grant third-party authorization for the release of information.

EARLY AUGUST

MID-AUGUST

  • Familiarize yourself with the move-in day process by checking out this page. It will continue to be updated throughout August.
  • Watch your inbox for your Residence Assignment (the email that informs you of your building and room).

LATE AUGUST

  • Sign up for a move-in day time slot. To space things out, each building has a limit to the number of student check-ins per time slot. Before signing up, make sure you know what building you are moving in to. You can double check that here.
