Move-In can be both a fun and stressful time for everyone. Please review the information thoroughly for instructions on the move-in process for the 2024-2025 academic year. After move-in, students are encouraged to attend the many events throughout the week and during Griffon Edge.

If you cannot make your recommended move-in time, that’s okay! We understand that students and families are coming from all-over. Our recommended move-in times are there to help reduce bottlenecks within each building. If you are able to make your move-in time, please do! If you are running late or can’t make that time, come when you can.
A limited number of dollies and carts will be available at each building. We still recommend bringing your own if you have one!
