Students are assigned a specific move-in window between 7:00 am and 2 pm on Wednesday, August 26th. Move in times are based on housing assignment and will be communicated with housing assignments in late July.

*Students who have a permanent address that is considered an extreme distance (defined as greater than 250 miles away) can request to move in one day early on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. Students can request early arrival by complete an early arrival request form available on their eRezLife account after they receive their housing assignments. Please note students are responsible for their own meals until orientation begins and there is no programming scheduled for new students until the start of orientation. 

Early Drop-Off Day!

We are pleased to be offering students and families the option to drop off their belongings in their room, suite, or apartment during an Early Drop-Off Day.* Early Drop-Off Day is scheduled for Sunday, August 23 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Students can sign up after receiving their housing assignments.

Students participating in Early Drop-Off Days are expected to move the majority of their belongings into their room on that day. They will be directed to not wait in the move-in queuing lines on move-in days and will be instructed to go directly to a parking area and walk from the parking area to their building. Students should bring with them on move-in day only what they can reasonably carry to their buildings from a parking area. More information and directions will be provided to students who sign up in mid August.   

*The Early Drop-Off option may not be available for all residence halls depending on summer maintenance projects.
