Welcome Weekend

Beginning August 6, all resident students can select their Move-In Time block for Welcome Weekend through their MyHousing portal homepage. You’ll have one hour of time, which will give you and your helpers plenty of room and will help us to manage resources for families during this busy weekend.

All students will receive emails with more detailed information beginning in mid-July.

If you have a hold on your account (financial, immunization, etc.), you will not be able to move in. Please resolve these holds prior to your arrival to campus.

When you arrive to campus, Husson Circle will be a one-way loop around campus. Your first stop (in your vehicle without having to exit) will be at our Welcome Tent to check in with our staff to ensure you have resolved any pending account holds. Please have your MyHousing Portal open and logged in to show our staff. Any holds will be posted to your MyHousing homepage. If clear, you’ll be directed to your Residence Hall. If you need to resolve a hold, you will be directed to park in Lot 8a and enter the O'Donnell Commons, and speak with the appropriate staff. When resolved, staff in O’Donnell Commons will notify Residence Hall staff of your expected arrival at your residence hall. Please see some important reminders below:

The campus loop will be one-way during the move-in hours on Friday, August 28, 2026.

We are allowing Early Arrivals for those with extended travel, academic obligations, on-campus employment, or other significant demonstrable reasons. This form will be available on August 6 at noon. Any early-arrival athletes for Fall 2026 preseason do not need to complete this form, as coaching staff have already been notifying our office.
