- Bring your health / medical insurance card to complete an emergency card upon check in.
- Due to a centralized check-in process, it will be vital for you to arrive on your designated check in day. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate your check-in on a different day.
- We have included a map and campus entry point indicating where to enter campus. We ask that you follow these directions as it will reduce traffic congestion and will make your arrival as easy as possible. Please follow directions from University Police, and designated traffic coordinators.

There will be a team of volunteers to assist with you unloading your vehicle between the hours of 8am and While unloading, the driver must stay with the vehicle at all times.
- Residents and their guests will not be permitted to park their car in front of the residence halls. Please prepare to pull up to an unloading zone, unload, and then immediately park their car in a nearby parking lot.
- Boxes, trash and recycling containers will be available outside to discard these items. Please do not pile trash on the floors and in the halls.

FAQs
Move-In Related Questions:
I am bringing my car to campus and my parents are helping me move in, can I bring both cars on move in day?
Yes, you can bring two cars to campus but please only park one in the unloading zone and the other car in a parking area.
I work on campus and am supposed to start earlier than the move-in dates…who should I talk to?
We coordinate special student worker move-in needs with the employing department so please outreach to your supervisor. When an office provides us a list of their workers that need special accommodation, we will outreach to the student. We will not work individually with a student.
General Questions:
What do I do with University furniture in the room that I do not want?
All furniture found in the room upon your arrival must remain in the room. We do not have room to store specific items and residents are not allowed to take the item out of the room. Often residents will creatively hide items, like additional bed frames, consider asking your RA for tips.
Will there be someone there to help me set up bed rails or loft my bed?
At this time, we do not anticipate having a lot of additional staff present to help during the Move-In period.
What offices will be open when we visit?
If you arrive during normal business hours it is possible many offices will be open to assist you. We encourage you to check each office’s website for their hours of operations.
