Home Moving In Fall Move In

Fall Move-In will occur between August 18-21, 2026. Move-In days and times will be appointed based on your residence hall and floor. Please do not book travel before finalizing your room reservation.

MOVE-IN TIME SLOTS 

Important information: Assigned time slots are 45 minutes long. For example, if a student has a reservation for 8:00 a.m., they may arrive to check in between 8:00 and 8:45 a.m.

We have specific move-in assistance and support staff scheduled at your residence hall during your assigned day and time to help facilitate your arrival. If you are unable to arrive during your assigned time, we encourage you to move in on Saturday, August 22, or Sunday, August 23. Please note that University move-in assistance and support staff will not be available on these days.

CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Check in at the Union. Residents should arrive on campus at their given arrival time and proceed directly to the Ray Olpin Student Union (200 S, Central Campus Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84112) for check-in. Please follow signage to park in designated HDP check-in parking areas.

STEP 2: Head to your area's unloading zone or designated waiting area. After completing your check-in process, you will exit the Union parking lot and proceed to your area’s designated unloading zone or waiting area until an unloading spot is available.

  • Due to VERY limited space, all vehicles will be asked to roll up, unload, and roll out. Staff will be onsite to assist with and guide these efforts!

STEP 3: Move your vehicle to the Rice Eccles Stadium Lot or other designated overflow lot. After unloading items, vehicles that will remain on campus should be moved out of the unloading areas to our temporary overflow lots for the duration of the move-in period (August 18 - 21). Shuttles will run 8/18 - 8/21 for main campus move-in, students with the appropriate parking passes can move their vehicles to their residential lots beginning 8/22.

STEP 4: Shuttle back to finish unpacking. Shuttles will operate throughout the day to take you back to your residence hall and allow you to finish unpacking and settle in!
