Transfer Students Move-In
Move-in will take place from Friday, August 12 through Sunday, August 14, 2022, for Santoro, Potomac River North and South, York River East, and York River West.
- All students will be required to register for a date and time that best meets their needs. Registration instructions can be found below.
- 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 another sponsor.
- To speed 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.
