Move-in Information

Welcome home, Eagles!  

We’re all adjusting to a new set of expectations and practices as we continue to conduct our daily lives in this unprecedented time. Move-in at MSU for our residence halls is no different. Though this move-in process will be different than prior and future ones, what will not change is our commitment to providing a plan and a process that allows you to move into your new home in the most convenient, safest, and quickest way possible.  

Details will be added as we get closer to the move-in timeframe and additional requirements are clarified. Continue to check both your MSU email and this page. If you have specific questions or need assistance, please reach out via telephone at 606-783-2060 or email to housing@moreheadstate.edu and one of our team will be happy to help. 

See you soon!

The Basics for Fall 2020 Move-In 

  • Unlike years past where buildings/floors have had windows of time for moving in, this year both returning students and new students will need to schedule a specific date and time for move-in.  
  • Scheduled Move-Ins are available daily from August 8 through August 16, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Spaces are limited during each block to allow for adequate social distancing and reduced crowds. 
  • Move-in windows are three hours in length and will be firmly enforced. 
  • To limit contact, there will be no move-in volunteers. It is strongly encouraged that individuals bring dollies or handcarts for their items.  
  • There is a strict limit on visitors. Each student may bring two people for the move-in process. 
  • All students will begin their move-in at a central location on campus. There, they will pick up their keys and any other items that they may need that are ready (parking permit, Eagle Card for first year students, etc.).
