Move-In (Fall 2026)
New students may move in Sunday, Aug. 23. Orientation begins later that afternoon and classes begin Wednesday, Aug. 26. Fall athletes may move in early — your student should watch for information from their coach. All students will receive additional move-in instructions beginning in mid-July.
Move-In Day Tips:
- Move-in day starts at 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 23!
- There will be people and signs (and people holding signs!) to direct you to a parking spot when you arrive.
- You'll go directly to the lobby of your student's residence hall, where a res life representative will greet you, issue your student their key, and provide directions to your student's room.
- Then, you can move your vehicle to an unloading zone and start hauling things in! There will be about a dozen people waiting to help you unload your student's belongings.
- Loft rentals can be picked up at:
- the lot south of Hvidsten Hall (for students in Hoyum and Livedalen) or
- the lot just east of Hallett/Erickson
- If you have any questions or aren't sure about something, anyone in a Residence Life, Orientation, or an alumni T-shirt should be able to answer them or direct you to someone who can.
