Residence Hall Move In

Residence halls open for fall semester at
8:00 am, Saturday, August 24, 2013

Go directly to the hall where you were assigned and staff members will be there to check you into your room and get your room keys.  Each resident/family will meet individually with a Resident Assistant (RA), so you could encounter a slight delay. It's important information, so we appreciate your patience.

Early Arrival
For students who need to arrive one or two nights before the residence halls open for fall semester, housing is available Thursday, August 22 and/or Friday, August 23. STUDENTS MUST SIGN UP IN CAMPUS CONNECTION. Students will stay in their assigned room. The charge is $27.60 per night and includes 2 meals the next day. The student's UND account will be charged, unless specified differently on the application (subject to verification). Check-in for early arrival takes place at the individual hall.

What to do before you arrive:

• Assemble things to bring for your room - see list What to Bring
• Get a computer ready - see ResNet for help
• Visit with your roommate (their email address is listed in your room assignment email and in Campus Connection)
• Decide on optional services you may want such as phone line, refrigerator, linen or carpet purchase, or bed loft (for Walsh Hall residents only)
