07/25/23 — Move-in appointment information for first years

07/25/2023

Dear Student,

Please carefully read this email and forward it to those who will be helping you move in. Discuss your move in plan together prior to creating a move in appointment. Move in appointment selection begins July 31.

*If you are part of an early arrival group, you will not sign up for a move in appointment time. Please follow the instructions of your group's advisor, coach, or supervisor.

We are excited to offer you the opportunity to select your move in appointment for Fall 2023. First year student move in dates are Friday, August 18 and Saturday, August 19.  Move in appointments on those days will begin at 8AM, and the last appointment will be at 5PM.

Move in appointments are in 1 hour increments, but that is not the time limit to unpack and set up your room. The 1 hour appointment is the time you are scheduled to arrive.  You then have 30 minutes to unload your vehicle and move the vehicle to the designated parking area. After unloading and moving the vehicle, you can begin unpacking and setting up your room.

You will be able to select your move in appointment beginning at the time below based on the building where you will be living. You will not be able to choose an appointment prior to your building's designated time. However, you can choose an appointment after your time and anytime through August 14 at noon. In addition, you can choose and/or make changes to your appointment time until August 14 at noon. All move-in appointments will be finalized at 12:00PM on August 14. 

If your travel plans are flexible, we ask that you be flexible in selecting your move in appointment and perhaps wait until others have had the chance to select.  If your travel plans are not flexible and you are unable to select an appointment that works for you by 12:00PM on August 14, please contact our office so we can assist you. 

When your appointment selection begins, please log into the Online Housing System, select "Forms," and click "Move-In Appointment Selection."

More information about move in will be sent shortly in a separate email.

We look forward to your arrival! If you have any questions, please contact us at res-life@jmu.edu or 540-568-4663.

Thank you,
