Housing details move-in guidelines for students

By managing the number of timeslots available per residence hall each day, we can ensure more efficient curbside parking for unloading; more available red cart; and more staff attention, as well as better-managed elevator lines. We will be unable to accommodate timeslot request for students if all available timeslots are secure. If you and your family need a specific timeslot, be sure to secure your timeslot early.

Students will not be allowed to check into their rooms or visit their residence halls before their assigned move-in timeslots.

Care Packages can Help

For many students, college brings new opportunities, people and experiences into their lives. It also introduces stressors that can be difficult to manage as the year progresses and contribute to a decrease in ambition and performance.

One way parents and loved ones can send care packages specifically tailored to students is through the company Dormify®, which has teamed up with the Residence Halls Association and Raiders

Helping Others to offer Tech residential students and their families an online website to purchase residence hall room essentials and special care package deliveries throughout the academic year. The care packages cost $30 to $200, depending on the size of the package.

All proceeds support the student organization Raiders Helping Others in planning alternative spring break trips for Tech students, allowing them to volunteer in various communities around the United States. The alternative spring break trips are life-changing experiences for students and everyone involved.
