Preparing for Move-In

If you have experienced a campus move-in before, this fall it will look different. While this is not the usual move-in experience we provide, this is the process that we need to follow this year due to COVID-19. All students will be required to sign up in advance for an appointment. Move-in appointments are three-hour time blocks and will be enforced. Students are asked to arrive at the beginning of their time block so they can finish on time.

Before you arrive at your building, you will need to report to your designated location for COVID-19 testing.

Testing will take place from 7:30 am to 4:40 pm—plan to show up approximately one hour before your scheduled move-in appointment time. Upon completion of the COVID-19 test, you will be provided with a wristband to show your residence hall you have completed your test. Once you have your wristband, you are now ready to proceed to your residence hall to check-in.

  • Make sure to bring your student ID
  • Know your building/room assignment
  • Create travel plans according to your move-in time (if applicable)
  • Review our campus map and parking information and follow move-in traffic directions from our MUPD
  • Make sure all personal items (boxes/belongings) are labeled with your name, building, room number and cell phone number
  • Move-In Volunteers will be available this year. To help with crowd control numbers will there will limited number or volunteers for each time slot.
  • Students may want to bring their own moving cart due to limited cart availability at move-in.

We ask that everyone participating in move in (you, your family, volunteers, and staff) wear masks during move in regardless of vaccination status due to the large volume of people that may be present.
