Fall 2026 Move-In Details
New Student Welcome Week runs the same day as move-in through Sunday, August 30, easing the transition to university life with social activities and opportunities to meet fellow students, faculty, and staff. Classes begin the following day, Monday, August 31, with Convocation held Wednesday, September 2 at 3:00 p.m. Commuter students have their own parallel welcome program to meet fellow commuters during Welcome Week.
Check your assignment in the housing portal for your specific date and time - your exact move-in date is shown above in the Overview.
Move-in day logistics
- Check-in location
- Your assigned first-year residence hall - Bristol House or Warren House.
Move-in day tips
- Arrive during your assigned move-in window - arriving early may mean waiting until your time slot.
- Bring a rolling cart or hand truck - campus carts can run out quickly during busy move-in periods.
- Have a parking backup plan - spaces near residence halls can fill up quickly, so know where you can unload if your preferred area is full.
- Watch the loading-zone time limit - many campuses require you to move your vehicle to longer-term parking after unloading.
