New resident Move-IN
EARLY UNDERGRAD MOVE-IN FOR FALL
If you are part of a program that moves in early (for example, the U-M Marching Band), please contact your program directly for early move-in details.
If you are an undergraduate and you would like to move in early, consider joining our MLEAD Academy.
mlead academy
MLEAD Academy offers students a chance to move in early, connect with new people and attend leadership training, workshops and campus-wide programs. And if you join MLEAD, you’ll be on campus to welcome other residential students and help them move in.

International Student Early Move - In
- Students attending the International Orientation who have U-M Residence Hall contracts for on-campus university housing may move into their residence hall on Sunday, August 25 between 9:00am and 9:00pm. You do not need to request early move-in to your residence hall. The Office of New Student Programs will contact Housing to make these arrangements on your behalf. You must arrive before 9:00pm on August 25 or you will have to find alternate accommodations for the night.
- The fee for early move-in (August 25-August 27) is $65.00 per day for lodging and meals; this fee will be in addition to the fee for your regular housing contract and it will be charged to your student account. Residential housing contracts officially begin on August 28.
- Only students who pre-registered for early arrival housing will be accommodated. Early arrival housing is located in West Quad. Students arriving on August 22 will be able to drop off luggage in their fall rooms and then go to West Quad.

MOve-Out
GENERAL INFORMATION
Halls Close at 11am on Friday, May 01, 2020.
About a week or two before move-out, we’ll send you an email that tells you everything you need to know. You can also ask for details from your residential advisor or the residential staff at the Community Center. In short, we ask that your room be completely empty of belongings, clean and damage-free. If anything is amiss, you may be held responsible for the costs involved in correcting the issue.
Some of the parking meters in front of the residence halls will be covered with bags the day before, and the day of, final move-out. This means that temporary parking in those areas will be free. If they are not bagged, please follow city regulations.
- Please change your address directly with the Office of the Registrar via Wolverine Access under “Student Business”. Also change your address on MCommunity. If you would like us to forward your mail for 30 days after you move out, please fill out a Mail Forwarding Request.
Don’t forget to contact collegeproducts.com to return any rentals.
If you have a bicycle, please take it with you. Unfortunately abandoned bikes left in the racks over summer will be collected by the Division of Public Safety and Security.
If you have any usable clothes or items that you no longer need, please look for the donation bins in your building. We will donate them to local charity organizations.
If you would like to store your belongings in Ann Arbor and have them delivered to your address next year, John’s Pack and Ship is a university-contracted vendor.
Blue Bucks left in your account will automatically carry over from term to term. You may request that your remaining balance be credited back to your Student Account by contacting bluebucks@umich.edu.
