Spring 2027 Move-In Details

Returning students who attended in fall 2026 move in Saturday, Jan. 23, from 2 to 8 p.m. Winter Term residents move in earlier (Severn Hall on Jan. 3, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and return to their regular rooms Jan. 17.

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.
