New Student Move-in Cheat Sheet

Welcome to campus, Billikens! Move-in is here and we're here to help make it as smooth as possible.

When You Arrive

  • You should have been assigned a move-in time when you received your housing assignment in July.
  • Please do not arrive earlier than your assigned time to ensure the move-in process is as seamless as process.
  • You will need your SLU ID to check into your residence hall. If you don't have your ID, you must go to Parking and Card Services to pick it up before you begin your check-in process.
  • You'll have 30 minutes to unload your belongings in the designated zones near your residence hall.
  • After unloading, you'll be required to relocate your car to the appropriate parking location.
