Resident Student: Move-In Information

Resident students are those students living in university-owned housing. During the Manresa program, residents will move into their permanent university housing assignment.  Our very able move crew will help to carry boxes and bean bag chairs from your minivan or sport utility to the room. It’s up to the student from there.

All resident students are assigned a recommend arrival time for the move-in process.  Review the attached schedule for your arrival time.
