Before you arrive
Know Your Move-in Appointment Time
Be sure to check your email for your move-in appointment. Please note, move-in appointments are required. If you arrive outside of your appointment window, you will be asked to return at your scheduled appointment time.
Our team is excited and ready to welcome you to campus. As you are finalizing your move-in plans, consider keeping your move-in team to a minimum to create a welcoming experience for all Gators!
Read the Community Standards
The Community Standards is your guide for what items you can bring and expectations for community living. Be sure to check it out before you arrive on campus!
Review the Packing List
As you prepare for your new home, check out our packing list and tips to help make sure you don’t forget anything.
Prepare for Weather
Bring a water bottle, wear cool comfortable clothes and shoes, and pack a tarp or covering for your belongings in case of rain during the unloading process. In the event of severe weather, updates will be posted on the Housing & Residence Life website and on social @UFHousing.
Directions to Your Hall
To ensure a smooth move-in experience, please follow your assigned move-in map closely. These maps highlight the most efficient route to your designated unloading zone.
With the large number of Gators arriving, traffic can back up quickly, and straying from your planned route can lead to delays, not just for you, but for others as well. Following your prepared route helps keep traffic flowing and ensures a better experience for everyone.
Move-in staff will be available along the way to direct you to your unloading zone, area office for check-in and the nearest elevator or staircase.

Arriving to Campus
Check-in & Unloading
As you arrive, have your mobile GATORONE ready. You will need it to collect your keys during the check-in process at your area office. We encourage your move-in team to start unloading your vehicle while you check in. Carts will be available to check out with a government-issued ID or you are welcome to bring your own to speed up the process.
Please note, unloading zones are available for a limited time, and are intended for you to unload your vehicles quickly before moving to a long-term parking location. Vehicles in the unloading zones must not be left unattended at any time. Once your items are unloaded our staff will direct you to the nearest elevators or staircase as well as direct you to your parking location. A shuttle will be available from 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. to take you from your parking spot to your hall so you can take your time unpacking and decorating your room.
The On-Campus Experience
Resident Assistants
Resident Assistants (RAs) are undergraduate students who live in the residence halls and are friends, mentors, and resources. They will guide your experience as a Gator. If you have a question, need advice, are wondering how to submit an GatorWorks Request, or want to chat with someone who knows the ropes at UF and is excited about helping you achieve your goals, your RA is here for you! Be on the lookout for information regarding your first-floor meeting, and upcoming hall events.
Great Gator Welcome
The Division of Student Life welcomes you to the University of Florida with our annual Great Gator Welcome events! These events happen at the beginning of each semester and are always a blast. Grab your roommate or some new friends from your hall and catch a welcome event happening near you.
