Grizzly Move In / Move Out Guide
Move-in Process
Move-in day brings you and approximately a thousand of your soon-to-be friends to campus. Together with your help, we'll coordinate the chaos to create a hassle-free move-in experience.
Expectations and Tips to Prepare
- Assigned check-in schedules are strictly enforced.
- Moving in early or shipping items to campus prior to arrival are not allowed.
- Monitor Claw Mail for your move-in day scheduling and instructions.
- Elevators are available in all buildings.
- Prepare your Grizzly move with the off-to-college checklists (PDF) of suggested items to bring and items not allowed.
- Students must be paid in full each semester – tuition, housing fees and meal plan – to gain access to housing and rooms.
- If using, the Nelnet Payment Plan takes up to 72 business hours to show on your student account. Your balance must show $0 to move in.
