Move-In
Fall 2026 Move-In Details
Sign up for a move-in time slot on your designated date to speed up check-in - sign-up links are sent in your assignment email and throughout the summer. First-Year, Sophomore, and Junior students are required to live on campus and carry a meal plan, a three-year residency requirement rather than the usual one or two seen at most schools.
Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time.
Move-in day logistics
- Arrival window
- Sign up for a designated move-in time slot on your assigned date (Aug. 11-12 for new students) - sign-up links are sent to your assignment email and throughout the summer.
- Check-in location
- Check your move-in email for your specific check-in location, since it varies by residence hall assignment.
- Parking
- Park on the first floor of the West Garage during your one-hour unloading window; once unloaded, relocate your vehicle to an upper garage level.
- Vehicle restrictions
- Each resident has one hour to unload on the first floor of the West Garage before relocating their vehicle.
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.
