Utah State University's Logan campus is anchored by Old Main, the oldest functioning academic building in the state since 1890, which briefly served as a WWII-era barracks and survived a 1983 fire, with residence halls including the Living Learning Community offering themed housing near the Quad.

Fall 2026 Move-In Details
New students who arrive outside the standard move-in window need to plan ahead, as temporary accommodations may be needed at the University Inn, USU's own on-campus hotel. Residents are responsible for cleaning their own suite, including bathrooms, and should stock household cleaning supplies. Area offices have extra staff available on the weekends of Aug. 22-23 and 29-30 from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. - arriving on one of these weekends is strongly encouraged to avoid check-in delays during the week, when staffing is limited due to Residence Life training.
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
- Check in at your designated area office - maps and temporary parking information are emailed during the summer prior to move-in.
- What you'll receive
- Download the mobile credential app in advance and arrive with it fully set up - your mobile device serves as your building and room key, rather than a physical card.
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.
