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

EARLY AUGUST

  • Apply for your UBCCard so it’s ready when you arrive (if you’re on a meal plan, you’ll need it to enter Pritchard Dining Hall)! The due dates to apply are:
    • Jump Start and other Early Arrival students: Aug. 21
    • All other incoming residents: Aug. 27
  • If you plan on moving to campus with a car, apply for parking. Resident parking permits may be available for purchase.
  • Order bedding and linens if you are not bringing these items from home (they are not provided by Student Housing).
  • Familiarize yourself with our What-to-Pack checklist, which explains what you should, can, and can’t bring with you when you move in. Our packing checklist can be found here.

MID-AUGUST

  • Explore ways to get involved in Residence Life, and follow us on Instagram to stay informed.
  • 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.
  • Have your mail forwarded to your new residence mailing address, and share it with family and friends. For mail FAQs, head here.
  • Get renters insurance to protect your belongings. You may be covered under your family plan.
