During Your Move

Please remember that all residents must sign-up for a check-in time at least 24 hours before arrival. Please take a few moments to update your emergency contact information if needed and select an arrival appointment.

Once an appointment has been created, a confirmation email will be sent to your @k-state.edu email address. This will also be your day-off parking pass. Please print the email and place it on the dashboards of cars involved in your move when you arrive in the unloading zone.

Upon arrival at the residence hall, only the student should enter the main front doors of the hall first. Staff will show you where to check in and get your keys. When you have your keys, you may begin moving in and your family/guests may begin assisting you inside the building.

Please make sure the temporary parking pass you received via email is showing in your dash with the student's phone number clearly visible.
You have 30 minutes to unload your vehicles and move them to one of the larger lots near the hall (see the maps for locations).
Please help us maintain a quick process by moving your vehicle immediately after unloading.
For your convenience, please bring your own dolly or cart if you can. Our carts are limited in number.

We're asking all students and visitors to assist us in maintaining efficiency of the check-in process. You can assist by:

Keeping items in your room to allow for maximum traffic flow.
Using stairs throughout the building when possible.
Breaking down all cardboard and removing all recycling and trash by placing it in the recycling and trash dumpsters outside the building (staff can provide directions).
Quickly moving your vehicle(s) away from the loading zones and into the larger lots.

We are not limiting the number of people who can assist you during Move-In, but we encourage you to bring as few as possible.

If you would like to change the height of your bed, you will need two people to complete the process. Please review the video below before beginning.

If you need assistance with bed lofting, unlofting, bunking, getting a shower curtain for your bathroom (suites only), or other Maintenance Requests, please visit the front desk or your resident assistant for assistance. After checking into your hall, you may also submit a Maintenance Request through the Resident Portal or the K-State HDS app, available on the Apple App or Google Play Store. Maintenance staff may not be able to complete the request until the next business day.
