Move-In Tips

There are so many things to consider when you move onto campus. Here are a few tips that will help you as you make the move.

Early or Late Arrivals

Please visit our Late Arrivals Page for information on what you should do if you need to arrive outside of official move-in dates. We do not offer early arrival for individual students.

Move-In Appointment

Log in to My Housing and choose the “Move-In Appointment” link from the home page to make or change your move-in appointment. If you experience any issues with the self check-in process, please visit your Area Office.

Shipping Items

All student mail and packages are delivered through the central Georgia Tech Post Office. Incoming students will not receive a mailing address until after registration for classes. For student mail guidelines and information on how to obtain your address information, visit the Georgia Tech Post Office site. Students are responsible for sharing their address information.

The Postal Services team asks that you do not ship large items like futons, bicycles, or refrigerators. We cannot accommodate such large items in our space.

Verify Your Room

Make sure that the room you move into is the same room that you checked into in My Housing. Upon arrival to your bedspace, check the room number displayed at the hallway entrance to your room and the letter over the bedroom door, if you are in an apartment or suite.

For safety reasons, do not change rooms upon arrival with another resident without approval from your Hall Director.

Room Condition

Once you move into your room, you will complete a room condition report. If you discover that a repair needs to be made, submit a Facilites Request.

Please provide specific details. You will receive a request number that enables you to follow up on the progress of your request.
