Moving Into The Residence Halls
Fall Quarter 2008-2009 Academic Year
Move-in weekend is September 20 and 21. All halls will be open at 8:00am. To accommodate the high move-in volume of new residents, half of the residents of each building will move in on Saturday and half will move in on Sunday, according to room assignments. In addition to your move-in assignment information, please read the following material in order to prepare for a successful move.
Log In To MyUCDavis
Beginning in late August, you may log in to MyUCDavis and access the My Student Housing channel to view your current Student Housing information.
Preparing To Move
Use the following as a checklist to begin preparing to move in to the residence halls a few weeks before move-in weekend:
- Prepare and register your computer
- Cancel your contract if you no longer plan to live in the residence halls
- Review the Guide to Residence Hall Life (pdf)
- Decide what to bring (and coordinate with your roommate(s))
- Contact your roommate to discuss:
- Arrival times for move-in day
- Bed location preferences (by the window, left side of the room, etc.)
- What each roommate will bring (television, printer, etc.)
- Reserving a MicroFridge
- Establishing phone service
- Review Bicycle Policies on the UC Davis TAPS Bicycle Program webpage
- Pay your housing bill (fall quarter's payment is due October 1)
- Remember: residence hall students cannot purchase a campus parking permit
Checklist for the days before:
- Check for last-minute announcements
- Review the Guide to Residence Hall Life (pdf)
- Make a packing list
- Review our recycling tips (pdf)
Check-In Day
The residence halls will open the weekend of September 20 and 21, 2008. Your check-in day is located on your Housing Assignment page. Keep in mind that your contract begins on the date your room is available for move-in. Before this time, we are taking care of last minute preparations for your check-in date which makes early arrivals difficult to accommodate.
The Student Housing office will be open from 8am-5pm on check-in weekend to help take care of any last minute problems you may experience, so please stop by our office if you need assistance with any concerns or issues.
