Fall 2026 Move-In Dates
If you upload a photo in advance, your Eagle Card will be ready for you when you arrive on campus, helping streamline check-in. Orientation programs are in-person, with some sessions also livestreamed via Zoom so families can watch virtually. Required students who have not submitted their housing application by the priority deadline will not participate in online room selection and will be manually assigned instead.
August 16 - August 17, 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.
