Drop Off Day

Tuesday, Aug. 12 | Optional, for a$20 non-refundable fee to participate in Drop Off Day.

Due to summer school housing, Drop Off Day appointments are not available to students living in Kittredge Central, Bear Creek or Weber Hall.

We are excited to provide students with an opportunity to come to campus early, see and measure their room and drop off their belongings in advance of move-in. Drop Off Day is an optional opportunity that gives you access to your space before everyone else arrives. Past students that have participated in Drop Off Days have appreciated moving items into their room while there are far fewer people in the building.

Drop Off Day is open to residents from most halls, and is especially ideal for:

  • Students anxious about living on campus and that may benefit from getting an early glimpse of their space
  • Students that anticipate needing longer amounts of time to move-in
  • Students that are eager to measure their space
  • Students whose family members may not be available to come to campus during move-in

Beginning on June 25, at the same time students self-select their move-in appointment, students will be able to reserve a drop off time for August 12. During their drop off appointment, students will be able to unload personal items directly into their assignedroom and to get a feel for their space, though they will not be able to unpack or decorate.

To select a Drop Off Day appointment:
  • Log in to your MyCULiving portal and click “move in appointments” in the top gold bar.
  • Complete a brief questionnaire that will help us prepare for your arrival. Click “Save and Continue.”
  • Select your move-in appointment date and time.
  • Once you have selected your move-in timeslot, click “save and continue” at the bottom of the page. You will automatically be advanced to the Drop Off Days appointments pages. Select the date and time of your desired drop off appointment.
  • Be sure to click ‘save and continue’ a second time. You will receive an automated confirmation email once you have saved your appointment.

The last day to select, change, or cancel your drop off appointment is Sunday, July 27 at 11:59 p.m. There are a limited number of appointments available, and it is possible that all appointments for your hall will be selected before the July 27 deadline.

Important information about Drop Off Day

  • Due to additional staffing and key card needs, there is a $20 non-refundable fee to participate in Drop Off Day. This fee will be applied directly to your student account after move-in.
  • Students will NOT be checked-in during this process, and will not be able to spend the night in their space until after their move-in appointment.This is an opportunity to unload belongings into your room only.
  • Students that participate in Drop Off Day will still need to schedule a check-in appointment for the week of Aug. 17. During your appointment in the week of Aug. 17 you will be checked into your hall and receive card access.
  • Students will be asked to leave items in sealed containers (boxes, luggage, storage totes) and to complete the unpacking and decorating of their space when they return later in August. In the unlikely event of last-minute room assignment changes, university staff will move items to the new assignment prior to move-in.
  • The number of available appointments on each day are limited, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
