Drop N Go

The official Move-In process for University Housing is known as "Drop N Go". This program was implemented in the Fall of 2020 with great success.  There is no charge for participation in Drop N Go, as this is required of all students living in the Residence Halls.

All students living in the Residence Halls are required to register for an Drop N Go appointment time to move-in for the Fall semester. During the student’s appointment time, students will receive their Residence Hall room key, and have the opportunity to move all personal items into their Residence Hall room before returning home that evening.

This scheduling will allow for decreased traffic on campus, and increased efficiency for our families helping their Warhawk move to campus.

Sign-up for Drop N Go will begin at 9am on Wednesday, July 26 ^th and will remain open until Monday, August 21 ^st at noon. To sign up, students need to log into the Student Portal. A confirmation email will be sent to the student after their appointment time has been accepted.
