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.
