Fall 2024 Move-In Weekend


Move-in day will be on Friday, August 16, 2024 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students living in Arbor Oaks, The Lofts, Meadow Run, Timber Brook, University Village will check in at The Commons. Students that will be living at Heights on Pecan will check in directly at the Heights on Pecan during your check-in appointment time!

Please note: You must be checked into your space before 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 18, 2024 or you will be considered a No-Show, assessed penalties and your contract will be cancelled. If you are going to be arriving late, please notify us via email at housing@uta.edu so that you are not marked as a no show. 

Review your Move-In Event Emails

All residents will receive move-in information emails at their UTA email address. Make sure to read through the emails, as they contain important information about:

  • Move-In event details & parking information
  • Scheduling move-in timeslot appointments
  • How to find your roommate information
  • And more...!

Contact your roommates (if applicable)

Your housing assignment email has your roommates’ contact information. Touch base with them before you arrive to get to know each other and discuss who will bring what. Do you want to bring a table for the living area? 

Know what TO and NOT to bring

We’ve got a whole webpage with this information. Print out the pdf and take it when you go shopping!

Speaking of shopping, you’re probably going to need less than you think. Our By-Bed units are already fully furnished, so no additional furniture is needed. We always suggest waiting until you move in and see your space before buying big items and decorations. Target and Walmart are both within a 10-minute drive from campus. 

Please note that University Housing does not accept furniture shipments.

Label your belongings

Make sure to label your items just in case!

Don't forget your MavID

Your Mav ID is your key to many areas on campus, including some of our apartment buildings. You also need it to move in! So don’t pack it away in a box. Keep it in a place that is easily accessible so you can grab it when you arrive on campus.

Be weather aware

While we cannot predict the weather with absolute certainty, we do know that it will be HOT in August! Wear loose and light clothing, drink plenty of water, and bring sunscreen. Stay in the shade or indoors as much as possible, and take frequent breaks to avoid overheating.

New Student Move-In Information

Apartment numbers will be provided a check-in on the move-in date. Students must have their Mav ID card to complete check in. Some students will need a PIN to access areas of campus. This can be found by logging onto https://get.cbord.com/uta/full/login.php and selecting "View information about your accounts."  For more information about Mav ID Cards, contact Mav Express at (817) 272-2645.
