Move-In 2026

We will be continuing to process reassignment requests through the summer, and can only accommodate a request when availability permits. With that in mind, please know that:

• This is only a request, and it does not guarantee a reassignment.
• Single occupancy spaces are very limited for reassignments and we will likely be unable to make much movement regarding single and private room requests.
• If you have already selected a move-in time slot and you are reassigned, your original time slot will be cleared, and you must select a new one. We cannot guarantee the same time slot will be available for another assignment.
• Reassignments are for you alone; a roommate group or preferred roommate will be unable to be reassigned with you.
• If we can meet your request, you will be reassigned immediately, and we will notify you of your new assignment via email.

Reassignment requests will close on August 1st. If we are unable to reassign you prior to this date, your request will be closed, and you may submit a room change request after the 12th class day of the fall semester (September 12th).

Your request will remain active until August 1st or until you are reassigned. If you no longer wish for your request to be considered please contact us via the TXST Housing Help Center.

Move-In for Fall 2026 is scheduled for Friday, August 14 - Sunday, August 16. Early move-ins will occur on a limited basis on Thursday, August 13. Please note that by scheduling an early arrival move-in that you are opting out of a traditional move-in process and will will add a $100 early arrival charge to your student bill. 

Students completing an early move-in will proceed directly to the residence hall at their scheduled move-in time on Thursday, August 13. As our staff prepares for our traditional three day move-in process, early arrivals will have limited assistance with check-in. Residents will be provided with move-in carts and will complete the check-in process that the lobby of their residence hall.

If you are a member of a group such as Bobcat Marching Band, Strutters, or Athletics, please contact your program director for information about your move-in date and time. 

Your move-in appointment a designated 90-minute window of time for you to arrive at UFCU Stadium, be directed to your residence hall, unload your car, and relocate to a parking area. 

The purpose of the appointment is to maintain efficiency throughout your move-in process. All students MUST select a Move-In Appointment. Appointments will be available between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day.

This 90-minute window does not include time to decorate and unpack your space. Students and their families are welcome to take their time and make the space feel like home once they have moved through the staging lot, arrived at their building, unloaded and relocated their car to a designated parking area. 

Only a limited number of appointments will be available at each time slot, so we strongly encourage selecting your appointment as soon as possible.

Take some time to review our move-in guide. This will provide you with step by step instructions on how to have a successful move-in day. 

Physical copies of the move-in guide are available at Boko's Browse during New Student Orientation, as well as at the front desk of our Housing and Residential Life building. 

Please view your residence halls web page for specific measurements for your hall. 

Take a moment to review our packing list available in the move-in guide. 

Keep in mind limitations on sizing for mini-fridges and microwaves. We recommend coordinating these appliances as well as any additional furniture with your roommate prior to move-in.
