Welcome to University Residence Halls! Whether you’re arriving on campus for the very first time with a van full of boxes or simply planning your trip home for a break, we work to make your experience as convenient as possible. Watch this page for parking/traffic info, dining options, desk hours, check-in/out details, and more for each of the major parts of the school year. Full details are posted in the weeks prior to each period when the information becomes available.
August 31 & September 1, 2019
Move-in days for fall 2019 are Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1, 2019. Residents are assigned to one of these days in My UW Housing based on the residence hall they are assigned to in June, so we recommend waiting to make travel plans until after June. Some residents will be required to move-in a few days earlier if they will be a Housing employee or part of specific approved groups so that they can participate in required trainings or orientation activities. Students in those groups will be notified by Housing in the summer if they have an earlier move-in date.
Additional information regarding Fall Move-In 2019 will be published in Summer 2019.
