Before You Arrive
All incoming residents must complete the following prior to moving in:
- Make First Housing Payment
- Schedule Move-In Day Timeslot*
- Get Your Warrior ID Card (recommended)**
*Fall Move-In Only. Each timeslot is 2 hours and offers enough time to check in and unload items in the unloading zones. The link to schedule a timeslot is emailed approximately 3 weeks prior to Move-In Day.
**New Stan State students only. It is recommended that you do this at New Student Orientation during the assigned time so that you have your card leading up to the start of classes.

If you need to check in earlier than the scheduled Move-In Day, early check-in may be available for a daily rate of $40 per night.
Early check-in is subject to availability and restrictions apply. To request early check-in, residents must complete the Early Check-In Request Form on the Forms & Policies page of our website well in advance of their requested check-in date. Please note that early check-in may not be available if your room is still being prepared by our maintenance or custodial team, and not all check-in requests will be approved.
Friends and family members are welcome to attend Move-In Day. We encourage residents to limit their number of guests to two people, however we understand that is not always possible.
Meal Plans are active starting on Move-In Day. Visit the Dine on Campus website or download the Dine on Campus mobile app for a full listing of dining venues and their hours of operation, and don't forget to download the Boost Mobile Ordering app to order your meals (or Starbucks!) in advance.
To view your room assignment, login to your housing application and view the Application Status page. There, you will find your room placement as well as a list of your roommates and the option to message them. We recommend contacting them in advance to discuss common area items and who plans to bring what for the unit (so you don't accidentally end up with three vacuums!).
Please note that room assignments and roommates may change based on cancellations, room change requests, and other miscellaneous factors.
Check out our virtual Move-In Guide for a full list of what to bring and what should stay behind.
Remember, your room is fully furnished but you do need to bring the essentials such as bedding and pillows (size Twin XL), towels and linens, and decorations. We also recommend chatting with roommates ahead of time about dishes, silverware, cleaning supplies, and common area items (such as living room televisions, coffeemaker, décor, etc).
All suites are equipped with a microwave and mini-fridge. Per the Housing License Agreement, hot plates, electric frying pans, electric grills, portable stoves, toaster ovens or other similar appliances are not permitted in the suites. Residents can bring an additional mini-fridge for their bedroom, limit one per bedroom.
Yes, for new student Fall Move-In Day volunteers will be available to help unload your belongings and even possibly carry things to your unit! We will also have wheelbarrows and dollies available to borrow.
For Spring Move-In Day, unfortunately we do not have volunteers available. However, you can still check out a wheelbarrow or dolly from the Housing Office Front Desk.
Selecting a timeslot and checking in during that window is a crucial part of the Move-In Day process. If you cannot check in outside of the provided times, you must report to the Housing Office during business hours to check in and receive your keys.
If you arrive after hours, please call the 24/7 line at 209-667-3675.
