What to Bring / Not to Bring

Decorating your room is one of the highlights of move-in! To help you get started, be sure to check out our suggested items to bring. For a smoother move-in and to keep carts available for everyone, we recommend picking up essentials and larger items at stores near campus.

To ensure our residence halls remain safe and welcoming for everyone, some items—such as cooking appliances, candles, pets, and upholstered furniture—are not allowed. Before you start packing, please review the full list of prohibited items so that your move-in is as easy as possible.

College Orientation

College Orientation is a program geared towards new students arriving on campus. College Orientation begins the summer before you arrive through online orientation and continues when you arrive on campus for Orientation Week. Click here for more details

Move In Appointment (New Students Only)

To provide an efficient move-in experience, new students who are not participating in a Pre-Orientation Program or arriving early as a pre-season athlete are required to select a specific move-in time slot. This selection can be made in student’s housing applications via the myHousing portal. 

Getting to Campus

Located in vibrant Hyde Park, our campus is accessible by various modes of transportation. To determine the best method of travel for you and your guests, click the button below.

Parking & Unloading

Volunteers will help unload belongings into move-in carts. After unloading, immediately move your vehicle to a free parking lot to make space for others. Cars may not be left unattended in loading zones. 

Checking In

Check in at your residence hall. Locations may vary, so follow posted signage. At check-in, you’ll receive your room key.

Early check-ins/move-ins are generally not available.
