Move-In

Move-in will only be allowed after the student has completed enrollment to meet the requirements of the full-time credit load. The definition of “full-time credit load” is published here: https://www.rochester.edu/provost/academic-administration-accreditation-and-assessment/accreditation/glossary-of-academic-terms/

- Please make every effort to arrive during the check-in hours. If you arrive after hours, instructions will be posted on your building door
- If you are arriving after 8/30, you will check-in at your area office, for which you can find contact information at: https://www.rochester.edu/reslife/about/contact.html.
- If you have any questions about either check-in or your space, please reach out to your area office, for which you can find contact information at: https://www.rochester.edu/reslife/about/contact.html
- Depending on the area, you may not be able to park directly in front of your residence hall. Residential Life staff present will not be able to help you physically move-in, and most areas do not have carts (due to stairs), so you should plan accordingly.
