Dates

Please refer to the Dates & Groups tab.

Time

Students will be emailed a specific check-in timeslot for their move-in day to know the exact window of time they can arrive to get their room key and have their TCU ID card activated for residence hall access. Once they check-in, they are free to move their items in any time after that.

Location

The move-in process will begin in Lot 4 at the north end of Amon G. Carter Stadium.
GrandMarc and Village East residents will go directly to their leasing office for move-in.

Check-In Process

Students will remain in their vehicle at the entrance of Lot 4 and then be moved to Lot 3 to have their TCU ID card activated. They will then receive a 15-minute unloading pass to park near their residence hall to unload. Once their car is unloaded, it must be moved to an approved lot. Vehicles will NOT be allowed in unloading area without this unloading pass.
Returning students must present their TCU ID card at check-in.

Moving/Storage Vendors

Students who used Campus Crates or College Truckers must contact them to have deliveries made after they have moved into their room.
Check-In timeslots will not be changed to accommodate a delivery.
