Move-In Instructions
The time has come for you to move into your Howard residence! It is an exciting and pivotal time in your life. In the morning of your Move-In Day, you might be still living under your parents’ roof, and by the evening, you’ll officially live on a college campus. Let’s make your move as easy as possible for you and the many other new Bison beginning their college experience.
Lots of new Bison are moving into the residence halls during the same week, so it is very important that you arrive on the date and at the time reserved for you, so everyone doesn’t try to move in at the same time. You will not be allowed to move in at a time other than your specified time.
When To Move In
Your move-in time is based on your year, your dorm or hall, and the first letter of your last name.

When You Arrive
Pulling Up To Unload
You are allowed to pull up in front of your residence for a limited time to unload your items. Moveable bins will be available to help you transport your items. At least one person should remain with your car while in front of the residence hall.
Present Your QR Code
When you completed your housing registration, you should have been issued a personalized QR code. When you pull up to the residence hall, you will need to share either a printout of the code or pull up your code on a cell phone and show it to Howard staff. The staff will use the code to ensure that you have completed everything you need to do in order to be able to move in to your residence.
Check In, Registration, and Key Pickup
Once you have presented your QR code and have been cleared, you will be directed to check in. During the check-in process, you will receive your key, a meal ticket, your Bison identification, and safety devices. You will also receive wristbands that your family will need to wear while helping you move in.
Parking
After you have unloaded in front of the building, you can move to a parking lot designated for your building for a maximum of 45 minutes.
Of course, you may need help moving into your residence. Residents are allowed three guests to help them on Move-In Day, including children. Guests must vacate the residence halls by 8 p.m.
