Residence Halls at University Village
From moving into your very first suite to making new friends and attending campus activities, there are resources available to help you transition to life on your own.
Your move-in process will begin with arrival to campus at the residence hall location sent to you prior to move-in.
Upon arrival, you will sign documents, pick up your keys and pay your first rental payment.
You will also be given a room inventory checklist. Use this form to thoroughly inspect your suite and make sure everything is in working order.
Peer Advisors will be on site and available to help you move into your new home and answer any questions that may arise as you explore campus.
