What to Expect on Move-in Day

Move-in day is exciting! You get to set up your room, meet your RA and your roommate, and explore your new home away from home. Here are our top recommendations to make this day a success for you and your family.

PARKING

When you arrive on campus, you will be guided to the unloading zone for your residence hall.
Please bring a maximum of two vehicles through our active unloading zones.
Do not leave your car unattended while you are unloading your belongings.

After you have unloaded your vehicle, you may park your vehicle in any lot marked “N” or “C” without a permit August 13–22. “N” and “C” lots are close to residence halls, less busy, and easy to find.


CHECK-IN PROCESS

Once you arrive to campus at the time of your move-in appointment, enter your residence hall to check in. A University Housing staff member will be at the front desk to take students through the check-in process. There will be posted instructions and signage to guide you, and University Housing staff will be available to answer any questions and point you in the direction of your new home!

Please make sure all immunizations paperwork has been submitted to the Student Health Center prior to arrival. Students without immunization paperwork will not be permitted to check in.

USE LUGGAGE CARTS

After you check in, you may start unloading your belongings using available moving carts and move the items into their room. There will be limited luggage carts and/or moving bins available during move-in, and you are encouraged to bring your own carts and bins.

LABEL YOUR BOXES

Label all boxes or bins with the student’s name and building prior to arriving on campus. This will help us locate the owner of any lost items that are brought to the front desk of the building.

GOLF CART VALET

Enjoy our complimentary golf cart valet service August 13 through August 19.
Our friendly golf cart drivers will pick-up from Lake Avenue and Volunteer Boulevard garages and drop-off at your residence hall.

Please see posted signage at the garages for operating hours and designated pick-up locations.

CHECK THE WEATHER

Be sure to check the weather before you arrive on campus. You never know when you will need an umbrella!

PICK UP YOUR MAIL & PACKAGES

Each residence hall has a post office in the lobby of the building for students to receive their mail. Students are given their post office box combinations at check-in. Each resident’s post office box number corresponds with their room number.

If you are mailing items before move-in, the residence halls will start accepting packages up to one week prior to your move-in appointment. Please do not mail items before this timeframe. You will be able to pick up any packages sent to the residence hall in the residence hall mailroom upon arrival.

After move-in, packages are delivered to a central locker location on campus.  For information on package pickup, visit upm.utk.edu/lockers/.
