MOVE-IN

FOR INFORMATION ABOUT SPRING MOVE-IN, PLEASE VISIT OUR SPRING 2023 MOVE-IN PAGE.

We are excited to welcome you to Residence Life at Texas A&M University! To help make your transition to college life as smooth as possible, we now complete the move-in process by appointment only (unless you’re in the Corps of Cadets). In order to schedule your appointment, you must first complete the Housing Orientation online which will be emailed to you at the end of June. Once that is complete, the appointment scheduler will become available to you.

Move-in appointments vary by location and will range from Aug. 17 – to Aug. 20, depending on where you’re living on campus and will be scheduled first-come-first-serve.

Move-in Steps

Step 1: Complete your Annual Housing Orientation

Near the end of June, you will be emailed information about the Annual Housing Orientation and when it will be available. The Housing Orientation will walk you through the Student Handbook and provide you with information about what you can and cannot bring to campus as well as information about campus security, rules/policies, and things you should know about living on campus.

This will be completed on myHousing Portal.

Step 2: Schedule your Move-In Appointment

In early July, you will be emailed information about when the online appointment scheduler will open and how to utilize it to schedule your move in appointment. Only students who have completed their online Annual Housing Orientation from step 1 will be able to access the appointment scheduler.

The appointment scheduler will open at different times depending on where you live to minimize the number of users logged in at one time. Be advised, the appointment scheduler will open for you at the time listed below based off where you’re living for Fall:

  • July 11th @ 11:00am- Aston, Dunn, Hart, Krueger, Mosher
  • July 11th @ 12:30om- Appelt, Eppright, Harrington, White, Rudder, Underwood, Wells, White (3rd & 4th floors)
  • July 11th @ 2:00pm- Hobby, Hullabaloo, Legett, Neeley, Schumacher, Walton
  • July 11th @ 3:30pm- Clements, Davis-Gary, Fowler, Haas, Hughes, Keathley, Lechner, McFadden, Moses

Appointments will vary by location and are scheduled first-come-first serve. However, the dates that will be available on opening day are as follows:

  • Residence Halls – Aug. 20th – Aug. 23rd
  • White Creek Apartments – Aug. 17th – Aug. 23rd

All non-Corps students will need to schedule an appointment in order to get checked into the residence halls/apartments.

Step 3: Read student handbook, and review Packing list

Every year we receive hundreds of inquiries about what you can and cannot bring to campus. Below is a list of items we’ve compiled that is not all inclusive but very helpful. Your online orientation covers many of the expectations and policies for on campus living. Still, please be aware of all information outlined in the Resident Handbook, as you’re responsible for abiding by all policies.

For information about the dorm/apartment you’re living in, please click “Housing Options” on the header of our website, select the hall you’re assigned to, and review all the information on the page. Furniture, dimensions, and room information is all listed.

We also provide some extras you may want to purchase or rent. These Add-Ons include refrigerator/microwave combo appliances, linen packages, personal safes, and more. Find the details under the Add-Ons on our Amenities page.

FAQ

Can I apply for Early Move In?

We are not offering an early move-in option for fall 2022.  In the event of an emergency or extenuating circumstance, we will review situations on a case by case basis.  Any early arrival approval will be assessed a $50/day/person cost.  If you have an extenuating circumstance you believe warrants consideration, please email askreslife@reslife.tamu.edu and include your name, UIN, your desired move in date, and the circumstance you believe requires a move-in date prior to August 20th for the Residence Halls or prior to August 17th for the White Creek Apartments.

I need to change my check-in appointment, how do I do that?

Option 1: Log back onto myHousing Portal, access the appointment scheduler, cancel your appointment, and then you’ll be able to see all other available appointments to select a new one.

Option 2: Email askreslife@reslife.tamu.edu  including your name, UIN, date of your appointment and the date (include time ranges) you’d like to change to, and the reason for changing your appointment.

What do I bring to my check in appointment?

You only need to bring 1 thing to your check in appointment – a photo ID! (preferably your TAMU ID, but we’ll also accept a drivers license or passport).

You’ll go to your designated check in location, show your ID, and our team will provide your key(s) and have you sign a few documents and you’ll be on your way in less than 10 minutes to get moved in.

Once you have completed your check in (less than 10 minutes), you are free to move in at your leisure. You do not have to move all your belongings in during your check in time.

Do my roommate and I sign up for the same appointment?

No. You and your roommate will each sign up for a move in appointment but it does not have to be the same day or time.

My roommate is checking in before me. Can I just come when they do and go ahead and move in?

No. Please arrive at your appointed time. We have staggered timeslots to help control traffic and to help minimize the number of people waiting in line to check in, etc. in an effort to help keep everyone safe during move-in.

Will there be people to help move us in?

In the past we have had volunteers to help carry student’s belongings from their cars to their dorms, but we will not have volunteers this year.

During COVID we eliminated volunteers in an effort to allow social distancing and limit the number of people in a building at a time and coming and going throughout the day. We are still operating in this plan for the health and safety of our staff and students.

Where do I park during my move in appointment?

Move in day parking is different than parking the rest of the year. Transportation provides specific information for move in days regarding drop off locations and where to park after you’ve dropped off your belongings. This information will be emailed to you from Residence Life as part of your Move In Instructions, but you can also access it on the Transportation Move In/Out website.

For all parking and parking pass questions, please contact Transportation at 979-862-7275.

When does my meal plan start? Where can I eat?

Meal plans for Fall 2022 semester will be active the morning of August 20th, 2022.

Please use the “Hours of Operation” website by Dining Services to see what will be open on your specific move in day.

If you have trouble using your meal plan or questions about your meal plan, please contact Aggie Dining via email or by calling 979-845-0152.

Do I need a Move-In Appointment if I am currently living on campus?

No. Students that are living on-campus for Summer II AND for the Fall semester do not need to reserve an appointment for move-in. These students will transition directly from their Summer Session housing to their Fall housing at the end of the Summer II Session, leaving no gaps between their housing assignments.

This transition is expected to take place August 10th-11th, and more information about how to check-out of  summer housing and check-in to housing for the Academic Year will be sent via email towards the end of the summer.
