Fall 2026 Move-In Details
Time slots are assigned individually and emailed to you. Students in the early orientation group move in Saturday Aug. 15, and all other first-years move in Wednesday Aug. 19. Bring your own Twin XL bedding; bed rails and ladders are provided, and cooking appliances, space heaters and candles aren't allowed.
Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time - your exact move-in date is shown above in the Overview.
Move-in day logistics
- Arrival window
- An individually assigned time slot
- Check-in location
- Your residence hall office.
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.
