Move In for New Students
First-year and Transfer students will move in on August 15th between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Each student will receive an email which provides them the move-in time for their designated residence hall. Please see the chart below to find your move-in time. It is important that you do not arrive before your scheduled time of arrival. To provide the best service to all, students who arrive early will not be permitted to move into their residence hall until their designated time.
International Students may begin moving in on Monday, August 12th. Each student will receive an email which provides them information on check-in and moving in their belongings. Please contact residencelife@hood.edu if you should have questions prior to move-in.

When arriving on campus, follow the directional signage to your residence hall. A volunteer move-in crew will be available to assist in unloading and carrying your belongings to your room. It is very important for your belongings to be packed, sealed, and labeled with your name, your building name and room number. Please write this information on your boxes in large, bold letters. Please securely affix labels or sheets of paper containing this information to bags and other items. It would be useful to bring a dollie, or wheeled cart if you are able. Carts and dollies will be available on campus, but will be limited.
Once unpacked, students are encouraged to participate in the welcome events happening on the quad. A list of activities will be provided in the orientation materials.
Move-In Tips
- You are encouraged to talk with your roommate to decide what items will be shared (mini-fridge, etc.). Click here for a detailed suggested list of items to bring (and not bring).
- It makes it easier if you pack items in bags rather than boxes, when possible.
- When unpacking after moving in, recycle cardboard and other recyclable materials outside the residence hall, keeping the hallways clear for important fire safety reasons.
- Dress comfortably, keep hydrated, and ask staff for needed assistance.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding housing, please email the Office of Residence Life at residencelife@hood.edu.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
