Move-In

Fall 2026 Move-In Details

Doors open 7:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Sunday, August 9, 2026. UNT highly recommends incoming freshmen live on campus, though it isn't required. Freshmen may bring a car with a paid residential parking permit; resident students are assigned a parking lot by hall.

Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time - your exact move-in date is shown above in the Overview.

Vehicle restrictions
Resident and Remote permit holders must relocate their cars on home football game days; if a preferred parking lot isn't available for a hall, students fall back to the lower-cost Remote permit and shuttle in.

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.
