Early Arrivals – Students who are part of an early arrival group must still register through the move-in sign-up system.

Please visit the early arrival page to determine if this applies to you.
Ready to move in? Let’s start talking details.
Each resident should report to the residence hall or apartment complex to which they are assigned for check-in. At check-in, residents will receive their keys. A picture ID is required such as your panther card, driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID.
