Move-In
We can’t wait to welcome you to your home away from home!
Campus Housing is here to make your move into our residence halls and houses as easy as possible. You play an important role, too! Make sure to follow any instructions we email you and read below for some tips and reminders.
Spring 2025
We can't wait to see you in January!
You will need to register in advance for a check-in timeslot, whether you’re returning to campus housing or moving in for the first time. Appointments will be available between January 5 and January 10 for all residence halls and houses.
Fall + Spring residential students
You will sign up for your spring 2025 check-in through the same Book Appointment button you use for your fall checkout, and you may sign up for your spring appointment at the same time. Just make sure you complete your fall appointment section before moving on to spring.
New spring residential students
Be on the lookout for an email from Campus Housing confirming your spring housing assignment. You will receive instructions for move-in at that time.
Fall 2025
We know you're all getting excited about move-in for 2025-2026, and so are we. Fall 2025 move-in is by appointment only for all halls and houses.
Early move-in is for approved groups or extenuating circumstances only.
We will email you detailed instructions and information will be updated below, under Getting Ready for Move-In, after spring 2025 move-in.
We can't wait to see you in August!
Getting Ready for Move-In
-
Review your floor plan and what to bring/not bring
You can see your room assignment and rate, and the specific floor plan for your room, in the MyHousing/Dining portal. Just log in, click on the Return to Housing or Meal Plan App button to go to your Housing Application, and then the Application Status page.
- Make note of the size bed you’ll have so you bring the correct size sheets/bedding.
- Read important info about what we recommend you bring and what you cannot bring.
- Discuss shared items with your roommate(s).
-
Mailing and Shipping Address
Your CofC Complex (mailing) address is on the home page of the MyHousing/Dining portal, under your name. You will get mailing and shipping instructions from Mail Services should you need to send anything before move-in.
Do not ship anything to your residence hall’s address – it is not your mailing/shipping address!
Limit how much you ship, and do not send anything to arrive earlier than five business days before your move-in appointment.
-
Don’t forget your Cougar Card!
You will need a Cougar Card to access your residence hall/house as well as other campus benefits and services, including your meal plan. Please also bring a driver’s license or other government-issued ID.
- Incoming students: You must bring your Cougar Card with you to get your key and access your residence hall. If you did not pick yours up during orientation, it will be given to you during check-in. In this case, bring a driver’s license or other government-issued ID to get your Cougar Card.
- Returning students: You must bring your Cougar Card with you to get your key and access your residence hall. Your Cougar Card will be activated for your residence hall.
- If you have lost your Cougar Card, please report it as lost and plan to go to Campus Services HQ during move-in business hours or Public Safety outside of those hours to get a replacement card before you check in.
