The University of Central Oklahoma's Edmond campus is anchored by Old North Tower, the oldest higher-education building in the entire state, constructed in 1892 and reopened in 2017 after a major renovation, with residence halls including Murdaugh Hall, Oklahoma's oldest active residence hall, and West Hall, home to several Living Learning Communities.

Fall 2026 Move-In Dates
UCO does not have a live-on-campus requirement and housing is open to all admitted students on a first-come, first-served basis, so apply early to secure your preferred hall. Register for a tour of West Hall, Murdaugh Hall, The Quad, or University Suites ahead of your move-in date if you'd like to preview your new home. This specific date should be confirmed directly with UCO Housing and Residential Engagement (Bausher Place, Room 201) closer to move-in, given genuine uncertainty in the sources available at the time of research.
August 17 - August 18, 2026
Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time.
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.
