Schedule: You will be assigned a specific time block to make the move-in process as seamless as possible.
Timing: Your residence hall and floor will determine your assigned move-in time.
Parking: Parking passes for move-in are available in the table on the left (or at the bottom of the page on mobile). Please print your parking pass and place it on your dashboard during move-in.

Note for transfer students: For most transfer students, the move-in date is also Aug. 16. If you do not see your building or floor on the list below, please arrive at campus on Aug. 16 between 10 a.m. and noon at your designated check-in location based on your parking pass.

Move-in Steps

Arrive and Check-In On move-in day, please arrive during your assigned time. Proceed to the designated parking area for your residence hall or apartment

Relocate Your Vehicle Once you finish unloading, relocate vehicles to the designated area so others are able to move in. If you park in the Laclede Garage and need to leave, you will be able to park in the Olive Compton Garage when you return. Golf cart shuttles will run from the Olive Compton Garage if you need assistance getting back to your building.

Move-in Tips

SLU IDs were distributed at SLU 101. If you did not receive your ID during SLU 101, you must go to Parking and Card Services before you begin your check-in process.
Pack your items in boxes that are large enough to minimize the number of trips, but small enough to be carried by one person.
Pack hanging clothing in plastic bags for easy transport into the building.
Wrap all breakables in bubble wrap or other protective wrap and mark them “fragile.”
Label all your boxes with your name, hall and room number.
Bring appropriate tools for assembly, if needed.
Dress comfortably and wear closed-toe shoes.
Be patient, stay hydrated and have fun!
