Move-In
Fall 2026 Move-In Dates
Students required to live on campus are generally those between the ages of 17 and 23; those outside this range must apply for an exception through the Office of Student Life, and housing is not guaranteed in that case. Beginning on move-in day, reach out to others, communicate honestly with your roommate, and get involved on campus - there are many clubs and organizations to choose from. This specific date should be confirmed directly with NNU's Office of Student Life closer to move-in, given genuine uncertainty in the sources available at the time of research.
August 22 - August 22, 2026

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.
