The University of Oklahoma's Norman campus is anchored by Evans Hall, its third administration building since 1912, built in the distinctive "Cherokee Gothic" style after its two predecessors both burned down, with all first-year students required to live on campus for two semesters, including in the newly opened McCasland Hall.

Spring 2027 Move-In Details
New first-year residents can move in Wednesday, Jan. 13, through Monday, Jan. 18. New upperclass residents can move in as early as Friday, Jan. 1, through Jan. 18. Check in at your designated building.
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.
