Move-in Information
After completing the Health Check-In, students and families will be directed to their assigned Residential Neighborhood for move-in. To assist with physical distancing, time slots are structured so that no more than a quarter of residents on a floor will move at a time. Students moving into residence halls should not arrive prior to their appointment time. In order to ensure the safe distancing, students will be allowed a maximum of two family members accompanying them.
First-year students received their specific day and time for move-in on July 1 via their Acorn accounts. These times will occur on Aug. 14 or 15.
Returning students will receive an assigned time for their health check-in and move-in based on their living arrangements by July 10. For returning students living in residence halls, these times will be on either August 17 or 18.
