Transfer Student Move-In
Plan to arrive on campus on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, in order to participate in Changing Tides. If you are a student who will be residing in Rappahannock River Hall, Greek Village, Harrison, Jefferson, or Madison, you may begin checking in on Monday, July 29, 2024.
- All students will be required to register for a date and time that best meets their needs. Registration instructions will be available at a later date.
- Because of this coordinated effort, students should not request to arrive in advance of the dates designated for their specific residential area. Students required to return early for a university-sponsored event, employment, athletic team or marching band must have their name submitted via their coach, employer or other University sponsor.
- To speed up the unloading process, residents should pack lightly and efficiently, focusing on essentials. Consolidate items into bins and boxes so the vehicle can be unloaded in minimal trips. Residents should not bring additional furniture such as futons, sofas, chairs, etc.
- Residents must unload in their selected time frame and move their vehicle from the unloading area as soon as all belongings have been removed.
- Label all items with the student's name and room number.
- Consolidate items into as few vehicles as possible. You can visit nearby stores later to purchase consumables and other items.
- A limited number of wheeled carts and bins will be available to use on a first-come, first-served basis. Students are encouraged to bring their own carts, wagons, etc.
