Check-in and Moving Days

Move-in day brings you and approximately a thousand of your soon-to-be friends to campus. Together with your help, we'll coordinate the chaos to create a hassle-free move-in experience.

Expectations and Tips to Prepare

  • Assigned check-in schedules are strictly enforced.
  • Moving in early or shipping items to campus prior to arrival are not allowed.
  • Monitor your Claw Mail and expect move in day scheduling and instructions one month prior to move in date(s).
  • Elevators are available in all buildings: three in Building 1000 and one each in Buildings 2000 and 3000.
  • Pets, including fish, are not allowed in student housing. Prepare your Grizzly move with the off-to-college checklists (PDF) of suggested items to bring and items not allowed.
  • Students must be paid in full each semester – tuition, housing fees and meal plan – to gain access to housing and rooms.
