Brigham Young University's Provo campus, owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is anchored by the Karl G. Maeser Building, the oldest building still in use since 1911, standing on the site of a former 1850s cemetery, with students housed in complexes including Helaman Halls and Heritage Halls.

Move-In
Fall 2026 Move-In Dates
Students living in on-campus housing who bring a vehicle need to register it with BYU Parking Services; a $25/month parking fee applies at Heritage Halls, Helaman Halls, and Riviera during Fall-Winter semesters. Helaman Halls residents are required to select a meal plan during the contracting process. This specific date should be confirmed directly with BYU Housing closer to move-in, given genuine uncertainty in the sources available at the time of research.
August 26 - August 28, 2026

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.
