Move-In and Move-Out Information

Move-In Information

Move-in day is a very busy and exciting day! Students have a set move-in date depending on the program in which they are enrolled in; they will move in on the Sunday before their class starts (please visit your course webpage for the specific date). The check-in window on move-in day is between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. ET. Additional move-in day information can be found on the schedules below:
