Spring 2024 Move In Guide
Spring 2024 Move-In Information will be available in October 2023.
New and transfer students are encouraged to move in on Thursday, January 10, 2024. This will give students plenty of time to get settled into their new rooms in time for New Student Orientation and the start of classes on January 16. However, students are permitted to move in at any point between 9:00 am - 9:00 pm, January 10 - 16.
