How will the residence hall move-in days work?
Move-in days are scheduled for mid-to-late-August and will be an opportunity for students to officially take up residence in their halls.
No one but students will be allowed inside residence halls on move-in days, in order to preserve a safe, socially distant environment for our student residents.
Move-in days for new first-year and transfer students will be held on Aug. 16-18, and move-in days for returning resident students will be held on Aug. 20-23.
PLEASE NOTE: Students with last names beginning with A-L can move in between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. on these days. Students with last names beginning with M-Z can move in between 1 and 4 p.m.
In order to minimize density and exposure, the Department of Residence Life staff will not be assisting students with their belongings on move-in days this year.
Students who require assistance moving their belongings into their halls are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the drop-off days earlier in the summer, when friends and family members will be permitted to help with moving in.
Students who are unable to move their belongings in on drop-off days, or who are otherwise unable to move their belongings into residence halls without assistance, are encouraged to contact the Department of Residence Life (reslife@newpaltz.edu) as soon as possible to arrange accommodations.
