Move-in Preparedness Checklist
Before you come to campus on move-in day, please use this checklist to make sure that you have done everything you need to do in order to be able to move into your residence hall.
- All students that have a residence hall room assignment will be receiving an email that gives them directions on sign up for their move-in day and time. Move-in communications and preparations will be sent out to students after they sign up for their move-in date.
- Students must be registered for a minimum of one course to move into and live in the residence halls.
What to Bring
Your instinct will be to bring everything that you will need over the course of the year with you when you move in. Please keep in mind that if you live close enough to campus to go home from time to time that it is best to bring only what you need as you settle into your room. For instance, try to bring only the clothing that you need for the end of the summer and early fall season.
