We can't wait to welcome you to campus! To make arrival and move-in as smooth as possible, you will be need to arrive on one of two arrival days.
You are required to arrive on campus or move into on-campus housing on the day you selected when you signed up for a move-in time slot, unless you are a participant in an approved URochester early arrival program.
Your arrival day will consist of two required steps. You'll pick up your campus ID card, your room key, and welcome items. If your family members are with you, they can also attend Welcome Week check-in to pick up their own welcome item.
Required if you are living on campus
Pick up your room key and move your belongings into your new home away from home. During official move-in hours, volunteers will be on-hand to help transport your items to your room.
Required for all students
Pick up your campus ID card, welcome items, and mailbox information. Family members and supporters are also invited to stop by check-in to pick up their own welcome item.

Arrival instructions
If you are living off-campus, you should plan to complete your arrival check-in steps on Tuesday, August 25. You should park in your assigned parking lot, based on your permit.
If you are parking Zone 3 South Lot, you can use the University's Silver Line shuttle to get to the center of campus, where there will be signs directing you to Welcome Week check-in in Wilson Commons.
Due August 1
If you are living on campus, you'll also need to select a specific move-in time slot on your arrival day. You will not be allowed to move in any earlier than the beginning of your time slot (no exceptions). You'll find the instructions to sign up for your move-in time slot in your housing assignment email, which will arrive in your URochester email inbox from Residential Life by the date listed on the new student checklist.
