Freshman Move-in Day is August 25! There will be hundreds of students moving in that day, so in order to make everything run as smoothly as possible, your student should have received an assigned time for move-in. Students should arrive for move-in during that specified time slot. There will be a move-in team ready to help you and your student through the process.
