Barry University, one of the largest Catholic universities in the Southeast, sits on a 122-acre Miami Shores campus centered on the Cor Jesu Chapel and its 80-foot carillon tower, with new Buccaneers moving into halls including Weber Hall each August as part of a campus-wide Week of Welcome.

Fall 2026 Move-In Dates
Check your Pre-Arrival Package for information specific to your assigned residence hall (Weber Grand Hall or another location) ahead of move-in. The events of Barry's own Week of Welcome - pool parties, campus tours, dances, scavenger hunts, and more - are combined with orientation so new students have various opportunities to get to know each other and the University.
August 20 - August 23, 2026
Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time.
Move-in day tips
- Arrive during your assigned window - early arrivals often just wait longer.
- Bring a rolling cart or hand truck; loading-zone carts run out fast.
- Parking near freshman halls fills up quickly - have a backup plan or drop-off spot.
- Loading zones usually enforce a strict time limit (often 30 minutes) before you're expected to move your car to long-term parking.
- Activate your student ID online before you arrive - many schools require it for building and elevator access from day one.
- If you want your bed lofted or the frame height adjusted, check whether your school needs that request submitted online in advance - most won't do it on the spot.
- Check your school's specific package-acceptance window before shipping anything ahead - most won't hold early deliveries outside a set date range.
- Unpack essentials first: bedding, toiletries, and chargers, before anything else.
