Move-In

Spring 2027 Move-In Details

All residence halls open Jan. 7 at 9:00 a.m. Classes begin Jan. 11, and residents who have not moved in by 5:00 p.m. on Jan. 12 are treated as a no-show.

Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time.

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.
