What to Bring

To make the move-in experience as smooth as possible for you and our entire community, we ask that you bring only your essentials and a few personal touches to campus. Your belongings should fit in one 4’x3’x3’ hamper or be able to be carried in one trip. As a reminder, per the university update last week, no guests will be permitted to enter any university housing building during move-in.

Please refer to our list of What to Bring to best prepare for your arrival.

Shipping and Mailing

Shipping items to pre-arrive to your room is available through a preferred vendor, and the deadlines are in mid-August. Additional information about shipping items to campus mailrooms will be sent in mid-August; however, you should anticipate delays in processing and wait times for pick-up. Due to the university’s quarantine guidelines, you will not be permitted to pick up any packages from the mailroom until after you receive your first negative test result. The combination of processing delays and quarantine restrictions mean that you should not ship any essential items such as bedding, medicine, or toiletries that you will need during your first several days in housing.
