STEP 2: Pack wisely.

All of your belongings should be boxed/bagged and tagged. Please make every effort to organize your belongings in boxes, plastic bins, or trash bags and label them with your first and last name, your hall/apartment name, and room number. This helps ensure that your belongings can be identified if they are misplaced during your move-in process.  Also make sure to review this suggested packing list that includes items you should not bring to your on-campus room.

 

STEP 3: Identify where the check-in location will be for your hall or apartment.
