Fall 2026 Move-In Details
All students under the age of 21 are required to live in university residence halls or apartments. The priority housing application deadline for Fall 2026 first-year students was June 1, 2026. Watch your Embry-Riddle email for specific move-in instructions. This specific date should be confirmed directly with Prescott Housing and Residence Life closer to move-in.
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 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.
