BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

New Student Move In: September 24-25

Returning Student Move In Begins: 8 AM on September 27

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. For more information, please visit the The College’s Orientation website

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 within each student’s housing application via the myHousing portal.

What to Pack

We understand that decorating your room is one of the more thrilling parts of move-in. That is why we provided an ideal packing list for you to reference here. To ease the flow of traffic in and out of the Residence Halls and ensure that all students/families who need carts can have them, we highly encourage you to purchase your necessities at one of the many stores located around our campus.

Parking/Unloading

Volunteers will be available at each Residence Hall to help families unload their belongings into move-in carts. After unloading belongings, you will be instructed to immediately move your vehicle to make room for the next arriving vehicle. You must then move your car to one of our free parking lots. No cars should be left unattended in loading zones in front of the Residence Halls. Please refrain from leaving your vehicle unattended and move your car once your unloading has been complete.

available for free during move-in:
