Move-in day logistics
- Check-in location
- Check in at your residence hall during the move-in hours.
- Parking
- Parking Services is open Aug. 29 from 8 to 11 a.m. at its campus 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.
