Texas A&M University's College Station campus, known as Aggieland, is anchored by the Academic Building, a familiar 1914 landmark built on the site of the original Old Main after it burned down in 1912, with new Aggies moving into residence halls including the recently built Hullabaloo Hall during a multi-day move-in period each August.

Move-In
Fall 2026 Move-In Details
Students living on campus should pay close attention to their Texas A&M email and the MyHousing Portal for specific move-in appointment details. Housing fills quickly, so an early enrollment deposit (due May 1, National Decision Day) and prompt room selection are recommended. About 94% of the undergraduate student body are Texas residents, so expect a genuinely statewide crowd during move-in 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
- Varies by specific residence hall - for example, Hullabaloo Hall checks in at Room 117A. Bring only a photo ID; check-in itself takes less than 10 minutes.
- Parking
- During the move-in period, designated one-hour zones near residence halls are for drop-off only - unload with a cart or hand truck, then move your vehicle to a designated move-in lot or garage.
- What you'll receive
- Your room key(s) at check-in - just bring a photo ID (your TAMU ID, driver's license, or passport all work).
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.
