SJU Move-In Information

Important information for students living in campus apartments, houses, and residence halls for the 2011-2012 Academic Year.

When can I move in?

Newly Enrolled Students (both First Year & Transfer Students):

• Move In is Sunday, August 28, at 8:00am - 1:00pm.
• There will be orientation activities for students and parents throughout the day.

Returning Students (sophomores, juniors and seniors):

• All residence areas open Sunday, August 28. However, since freshmen will be moving in Sunday morning, we encourage sophomores, juniors and seniors to wait until after 2 pm to move in. Keys may be picked up from your Resident Assistant.
• A directory of the Faculty Residents and Resident Assistants will be posted in the main entrances of each residence area.

Arrivals before August 28:

All early arrival requests must be made to and approved by the Campus Life/Housing Office. Students approved for early arrival must make arrangements with the Campus Life/Housing Office to pick up room keys during regular office hours (8 am to 4:30 pm, M-F) at Campus Life/Housing or Life Safety Services, Basement Thomas Hall after 4:30 pm. If you are part of an athletic team or school sponsored activity, that requires early arrival, your coach/supervisor/coordinator must submit a request on your behalf. Keys for members of the football and soccer teams will be given to and distributed by the coaches.

• Please be aware that campus services such as food service and other amenities will be limited prior to hall opening on August 28th.
• Traffic into campus on Sunday, August 28th will be significant and parking will be limited. We encourage you to limit your travel to and from campus that day.

Check-in August 28:

• Pick up your key upon arrival from your Resident Assistant.
• Thoroughly check out your residence using the Room Condition Report your Resident Assistant will give you. Make any additions to the report you feel are necessary, sign it and give it back to your Resident Assistant immediately. (If you move in early, please get a Room Condition Report from your RA, follow the procedure for filling it out and return it to your RA.) Failure to complete and sign a Room Condition Report and return it to your RA will result in a fine.
• Freshmen are required to sign a lease when they pick up their key from the RA. Upperclassmen who did not sign a lease during room selection last spring need to stop by the Campus Life/Housing Office, Sexton 210 by Friday, September 2 and sign a lease.
