Lynn University, founded in 1962 as Marymount College on what was then an isolated dirt-road tract off North Military Trail, has grown into a 115-acre Boca Raton campus drawing students from over 100 countries, with new Fighting Knights moving into halls including the Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn Residence Center each August ahead of a required Fall Orientation week.

Move-In
Fall 2026 Move-In Details
Move-in happens as part of Fall Orientation week itself, rather than a separate, standalone day - check in, pick up your student ID, and receive your mobile device (Lynn provides an iPad as part of its own integrated technology program) before settling into your residence hall. A guide to register for your specific check-in appointment and required orientation sessions is available through the university's own housing portal.
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
- Arrival window
- Move-in happens as part of Fall Orientation week (Aug. 19-23) rather than a separate, standalone day; register for your specific check-in appointment through the university's own housing portal.
- Check-in location
- Your assigned residence hall - most students are housed in the Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn Residence Center.
- What you'll receive

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.
