Fall 2026 Move-In Details
Move-in for both halls is listed as Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Appointments are required and scheduling opens Aug. 1 at 9 a.m. Select only the times designated for your hall. Students on a university payment plan must make their first installment by Aug. 15 to check in.
Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time.
Move-in day logistics
- Check-in location
- First Street: unload on the Kearsley St. side of the building, then go to the check-in table at the unloading zone to receive your room key. Riverfront: move in directly in front of the building.
- Parking
- First Street: drivers are directed to Lot A first, then move the vehicle to the Mill Street Ramp after unloading. Riverfront: after unloading, move the vehicle to the connected parking structure. At both halls someone must stay with the vehicle until it is fully unloaded.
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.
