Move-in day logistics

Check-in location
New first-year students who are not yet registered for fall classes check in for Bobcat Bound on Thursday from 9 to 11 AM at the Admissions Office in Pullen Hall.

Move-in day tips

  • Arrive during your assigned move-in window - arriving early may mean waiting until your time slot.
  • Bring a rolling cart or hand truck - campus carts can run out quickly during busy move-in periods.
  • Have a parking backup plan - spaces near residence halls can fill up quickly, so know where you can unload if your preferred area is full.
  • Watch the loading-zone time limit - many campuses require you to move your vehicle to longer-term parking after unloading.
