Move-In Registration
Move-in registration will open on June 17 and close on July 10.
To ensure an efficient registration process, residents will receive a time slot to log into the student portal to register for a move-in arrival time. Time slots will be generated via a lottery, and residents will receive an email to their Auburn email account with their time slot. Residents will log into the portal during their time slot to register for a move-in arrivaltime. If you are unable to access the portal during your designated time slot, do not worry because you will be able to access the portal at any time after your initial time slot opens.
Move-In Arrival Times
The first arrival time will be at 7 a.m. (CDT) and the last arrival time will be at 4 p.m.(CDT) each day, except Aug. 7. In preparation for Panhellenic recruitment, the last arrival time will be at 2 p.m. on Aug. 7. Residents will choose their arrival time slot during move-in registration. (There will be a certain number of time slots per hour, per day).
Residents will not be able to move into their residence hall until their designated arrival time. If you arrive before your arrival time, you will be asked to come back at your designated time.
Check-In Process
The check-in process will be a curbside check-in.
Upon arrival to campus, residents will proceed directly to their designated centralized check-in location.
Residents will drive up to the designated check-in location (check-in locations for each area are listed below) during their designated arrival time. Residents will show staff their arrival time email and a photo ID and will give their name, hall and room number. AUH staff will check in the resident online and hand the resident their welcome packet.
The welcome packet will include the resident’s room key, a hang tag to be placed on the dash of the vehicle, and information regarding a room survey to be filled out after moving in.
Once their arrival time has been verified by a staff member and they have received their welcome packet and room key, they will be able to proceed to their unloading zone.
Residents who arrive outside of their arrival time will not be able to move in until their designated time.
Centralized Check-In Locations
- The Hill: The corner of Duncan Drive and P.O. Davis Drive
- The Quad: The Comer parking lot
- The Village: Village West parking Lot
- South Donahue: Unloading zone in front of South Donahue
- Cambridge: Cambridge parking lot
- 160 Ross: 160 Ross parking garage
Addresses for the above locations will be sent at a later date.
Arrival and Unloading Belongings
After checking in and receiving their welcome packet and room key, residents will proceed to the unloading area at their building. Maps will be sent digitally to residents prior to move-in so you will know how to get to your residential area.
When you arrive to your building, you will unload your items immediately. Residents can place their items on the curb while they move their vehicle from the unloading zone to their designated parking area. If a resident has other people with them, we recommend having one person move the car while the resident or someone else waits with their items. Additionally, staff will be monitoring the unloading zones.
160 Ross residents will check in and unload items in the parking garage at 160 Ross.
Residents will be limited to two vehicles, and no box trucks and/or trailers will be allowed. Additionally, we ask that all residents limit the number of people they bring with them to 2-3 people per resident.
To maximize the health and safety of our residents, there will be no volunteers available to assist during move-in. Additionally, we will be unable to provide move-in equipment to assist with move-in. You are welcome to bring your own items, such as wagons or dollies, to campus with you.
Due to no volunteers or equipment being available, we highly encourage residents to pack light. Please read below for some tips regarding packing light:
- Coordinate with your roommate before buying shareable items such as a mini fridge, microwave, shower curtain, etc.
- Visit the Camp War Eagle web page and our checklist page on the Auburn University Housing website for a list of items to bring/not to bring.
- Make sure the boxes you pack are light and easy to carry.
- Use your storage bins as packing boxes.
- Focus on the necessities. Pack only what you need or what you cannot buy once you arrive to Auburn.
Packing light is key to a quick and easy move-in. Remember that you and your family will be responsible for unloading and carrying items to your room.
