Fall 2026 Move-In Details
New first-year and transfer move-in is Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, with arrival times assigned by hall, floor and odd or even room number, starting at 8am.

Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time.
Move-in day logistics
- Parking
- Arrive only at your assigned time, since early arrivals are not allowed in. A printable Move-In Day parking pass is emailed in the second week of August; display it on your windshield. Families may bring one vehicle at a time onto South Campus, with 15 minutes to unload using four-way flashers on, then move the car to North Campus lots. Free shuttles run between North and South Campus. First-year students park in lots B2, B3 or A4.
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.
