Move-In Day

You have a 30-minute arrival window to check in and unload your belongings. You can move in starting at your designated time slot or any time after. After parking in your short-term unloading parking spot, you should proceed to the building to check in and then return to your vehicle to unload your belongings. There will be a limited number of carts available to help you quickly move your items from your vehicle and into the building.

We always expect a high volume of students, parents, and families to arrive on move-in day. To help reduce traffic congestion and get students moved in as quickly as possible, we created designated routes for each residential community.
