Move-in Guide

See what you have to do, step-by-step, for a successful move:

1. Arrive on time. Do not arrive any earlier than your designated move-in time.
2. Don’t arrive in a motor home, moving van, trailer or RV. Large vehicles take up too much space in our parking lots and are difficult to navigate on narrow campus streets.
3. Know what to pack and what to leave home. Check our What to Bring and What Not to Bring lists when you are packing.
4. Arrive on the Avenue. There will be unloading spaces in the front and back of Le Fer Hall. After you unload your belongings onto the carts provided and move your car to the parking lot behind Hulman Hall.
5. Check in at the lobby of Le Fer Hall. All students will check in on the first floor of Le Fer to receive their Student ID and parking permit.
6. Check out a moving cart. The orientation leaders will have carts available. Residents are limited to one cart. You may also bring your own carrier or moving cart.
7. Meet your RA. Meet your RA on your wing to receive your room key and complete your room condition report.
8. Review your Housing and Residential Life Policies to learn about your community, and stay informed about your rights and responsibilities.
