Move-in Dates
| You've packed everything up, so now it's time to move in! The typical first-year student move-in day begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday, August 23. Everyone moving in on that day will go directly to their assigned residence hall to pick up their keys and check in for Fall Orientation. When you arrive to campus, you'll see staff and signs directing you to buildings, so just follow their lead. If you live in Bica-Ross, Shields or Hoiles-Peterson halls, you will actually report to the Hoover-Price Campus Center (HPCC) to pick up your key. There will also be members of some student organizations there to help you unload, so take advantage of them!
For those of you who need to move in early (see the list of approved early move ins below), you will pick up your key from either your coach or the HPCC Information Desk between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the day you are able to move onto campus. If you have questions about that, please contact your coach or the Office of Residence Life at (330) 823-7288.
