Returning Upperclassmen Students- Move-In Day Guidelines
- We encourage our students to not bring trailers or U-Haul trucks. Residence Life discourages the use of trailers and U-Hauls as they will not fit in our parking facilities.
- Later this summer, you will be receiving a move-in packet with two rear-view mirror tags and a color-coded map with directions to your check-in area. Please hang one mirror tag in each car traveling to campus and refer to your hall’s move-in map to aid with move-in traffic.
- Areas closest to complex entrances will be reserved as unloading zones. You will be asked to relocate your vehicle (to a different lot or garage) after unloading in order to keep unloading zones clear for incoming students.

Helpful Tips for Move-In Day:
- To cut down on cardboard waste, pack items in reusable plastic bins
- Save space by buying larger items after you arrive; save time and energy by purchasing through our online marketplace (your items will be waiting for you when you arrive!)
- Despite our best-laid plans, some check-in areas can experience a bit of a queue if everyone arrives at the beginning of each time block or interstate traffic causes arrival delays. If you experience a wait, you can assist us best by remaining comfortably in your running vehicle and allowing us to provide everyone the same quality experience. Make sure you have enough gas in your vehicle when you arrive at Belmont in case of any major delay.
- Our Belmont Marketplace program is available if you would like to place an order through our website or one of our partners. Items ordered through Belmont Marketplace are delivered to your room and will be waiting for you when you arrive, cutting down on items you may need to pack or move.
- Please note that Belmont Residence Life does not offer in-room delivery for any other packages delivered to campus prior to move-in. The UPS Store (campus mail center) requests that no packages be mailed to campus earlier than one week before move-in due to limited storage availability.
