Move-In Dates for First-Year and Returning Students:
| Honors and First-Year Out of State Students | Thursday, September 1 |
| First-Year Students | Friday, September 2 |
| Late Move-In for First-Year Students | Saturday, September 3 |
| Returning and Transfer Students Move-In | Monday, September 5 |
In order to keep this a smooth process, we ask that you move in on the day indicated. We are not accepting requests to change move in dates, since the buildings are being prepared for First Year Move In. The most important thing you will need to pack is patience. It is Labor Day weekend and you are traveling “down the shore.” There will be traffic. Be prepared and take a few deep breaths.
See which time has been set aside for you to move in. We want to create a smooth process where all students have the opportunity to move in their belongings with the least amount of traffic in the hallways and stairwells.
For First Year Students – Once arriving to campus, please head to your assigned building. There you will receive:
- Your Keys
- Your ID card
- Your parking permit

While we allow the LED strip lights, please be careful with how you adhere them to the walls/ceiling as they tend to pull off the paint at the end of the year and we do not want to see you with a bill for repainting those areas.

Additional Questions
How many vehicle can we bring for move in?
We encourage you to bring only one (1) vehicle to campus on move in day and to edit the amount of personal belongings you intend to bring. Just remember the size of the room you are moving into and you cannot fit as much as into the room as you may think.
What do we do with our vehicles after we move in?
We ask that everyone move their vehicle to parking lots #16, 18, 23, or 25 once you are finished removing your belongings. This way the next group of people moving in will have a place to park.
What does my building/room look like?
If you go to the following links Current Residence Halls or Monmouth University Office of Residential Life YouTube, you can see what the inside of the buildings look like as well as a YouTube channel that shows tours of the buildings.
Can I change my roommate?
At this point, all students have been assigned therefore it is more difficult to switch roommates.
Will there be any carts to help me move in?
You will be parked reasonably close to your building and we will have a limited number of pushcarts available to move your belongings. We also recommend that you bring your own hand truck as we only have a limited number of carts.
Will there be students there to help me with my belongings?
We do have upper level students who will be there to assist you with your belongings up to your rooms.
Are there any activities going on after I move in?
Yes, we’ll have events and activities planned for the evenings of move in. Activities will begin with a social on the quad for students on Thursday evening. As we get closer to move-in, students will receive additional information. We also encourage you to visit our orientation page at www.monmouth.edu/orientation for updates on both NSO and Welcome Week.
What is the Orientation Schedule?
New Student Orientation (NSO) will take place from the afternoon of Saturday, September 3 through the evening of Monday, September 5, 2022. Our Welcome Week activities will begin on Tuesday, September 6, 2022 and will run through Sunday, September 11, 2022.
