Move-in 9-month

We are confident, and you should be too, that during all this uncertainty and disruption, your Husky Home will be a place of safety and comfort while you focus on school. We are excited to welcome all 9-month residents to your new Husky Home!

Residents moving-in spring 2021

  • Save the date! Sunday, March 28 from 8 am–4 pm
  • You will receive an email with your assignment information and move-in appointment
  • You may request a different move-in day or time by emailing the Student Services office.

How move-in works

  • Check-in first. Drive to your designated check-in location, which may be different than where you unload your vehicle. At your check-in location you will pick-up your keys then proceed to your unload area.
  • Carts are available in the lobby or common area of each building to assist in moving your belongings from the parking area to your room. Carts are sanitized after each use.

Preparing to move-in

Let us help your move to campus be exciting and fun—preparation is the key! Read more about how to get ready to live on campus.

Coronavirus rules for move-in

  • A limit of two people can arrive with you to help you move in. No pets are allowed during move-in.
  • Only one vehicle can be used per student to move in.
  • Face coverings are required. At the UW, you must wear a face covering when you are inside, when other people are present (this includes common areas, such as hallways, stairways, restrooms and elevators) and outdoors when keeping a six-foot distance from others may not be possible. Please ensure you are wearing a face covering when you arrive to move in.
  • All staff assisting during move-in will be required to wear surgical masks. All staff will complete daily COVID-19 attestation forms and will not be working on this day if they are experiencing symptoms.

When you check-in

When you arrive at your designated check-in location, you will be asked for your Husky Card or another form of photo ID. Once you have checked in, you can proceed to your unload area.

The Husky Card is your key card for access to your building. If you do not receive your card before you move in, you will need to obtain one afterward from the Husky Card Account & ID Center (Husky Card Office), located on the ground floor of Odegaard Undergraduate Library. Please check their current operating hours. In the meantime, you will receive a temporary building access card so you may access your residential community.

Keys

You will be given your room and mailbox keys when you arrive to your designated check-in area. The keys are assigned to you uniquely; avoid switching keys with your roommate. Report lost or stolen keys to your regional desk immediately.

Red emergency backpack

New residents are provided with a red emergency backpack when they first check in to their residential community. This comprehensive kit includes water, food rations, and other emergency supplies. The contents will remain viable for several years. Please keep your red emergency backpack for as long as you live with us.
