Pacific Islands University, the only accredited evangelical institution of higher learning in Micronesia, traces to a 1976 Bible school founded in Chuuk before relocating to its present Mangilao, Guam campus in 1999, drawing students from across the Pacific islands to a small, close-knit community with vibrant dormitory life centered on shared meals, evening volleyball, and a campus pavilion.

Fall 2026 Move-In Details
PIU is a genuinely small, close-knit Christian campus drawing students from across Micronesia and beyond - most incoming students travel a significant distance to Guam. Regular chapel services, an annual Day of Prayer, and a Spiritual Emphasis Retreat are part of campus life throughout the year. This specific date should be confirmed directly with PIU's own Admissions Office 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.
