0 0. Before You Start 0

Your assignment letter contains important information about move-in day including your check-in time and your hall, complex, and room assignment. Before you make the journey to campus be sure to:

Pack light. Barnhart, Carson, LLC, and Riley are the only halls with elevators (which get really busy during move-in). Using the stairs may speed up your move-in process. It may also be helpful to bring a handtruck or dolly.

Learn your hall and complex assignment. Know which hall and—if you live in a complex—which complex (ie. Ganoe Hall in Bean Complex). This information will help you know how to navigate the fastest route to your unloading zone and check-in table.

Know your check-in time. You are assigned a specific time to check in, by zip code. Check your assignment letter for your staggered check-in time and instructions. Checking in during your assigned time should reduce waiting time. We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines as we work to ease heavy traffic and congestion during check-in. Staggered check-in times for September 22 only:

  • September 22, 9:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.: zip codes 01001–94050
  • September 22, 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.: zip codes 94051–96999; 98000–99950
  • September 22, 1:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.: zip codes 97218–97999 BUT NOT 97401–97405 NOR 97477–97478
  • September 22, 3:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.: zip codes 97000–97217; 97401–97405; 97477–97478

0 1. Get to the UO 0

When traveling to campus on September 22, first determine your hall and complex. Then refer to the Move-in Maps brochure mailed to you in August to determine your recommended freeway exit and route to campus. These routes were created to avoid extra congestion and keep the traffic flowing.

Please unload belongings into the room as quickly as possible. Unloading zones are limited to 30 minutes for move-in only; free day-parking is available at Autzen Stadium, with free shuttles back to campus. Tip: a student can unpack while a driver moves the vehicle, or for a one-person vehicle, park and shuttle back, then unpack.

Do not leave your valuables unattended or your doors unlocked.

0 5. Park Your Vehicle 0

As soon, as you move your items into your room, you are required to move your vehicle: free parking will be available at Autzen Stadium (September 22 only); refer to the Move-in Maps for directions. A shuttle will bring you back to campus to finish your move-in process. The last shuttle will leave campus to return to Autzen at 8:00 p.m.

0 6. Take Your PRCR to Your Area Desk 0

Your Property and Room Condition Report (PRCR) will be pre-filled and waiting for you in your room. The PRCR documents the room condition upon move-in; residents are responsible for damage or loss that occurs during the year. Please review carefully; make any changes needed. Return your signed PRCR to your Area Desk (see 3, above, for Area Desk locations).

0 7. Pick Up Your UO ID Card 0

If you didn't get it at IntroDUCKtion, you'll need to get your UO identification card before the end of the day. The UO ID card office is inside the Erb Memorial Union (EMU) and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can use your UO ID to pick up mail parcels at your Area Desk, dine at the eight housing dining venues, go to the Student Recreation Center and the University Health Center, check out library books, and ride LTD buses for free.

0 8. Register Your Bike 0

On campuses across the nation, bicycle theft is a problem. We suggest you bring a used or inexpensive bike, along with a secure U-shaped lock. You are required to register your bike with the UO Department of Public Safety (DPS) upon arrival on campus. The registration will help DPS return stolen bikes to their rightful owners if they are recovered. Make sure you write down the serial number for your bike so it may be identified. Bikes parked at the bike racks and not registered will be impounded. DPS will provide bike registration throughout check-in at various locations on campus. Check your Week of Welcome schedule, call 541-346-5444, or stop by DPS at Straub Hall, 1319 E. 15th Ave. for times and locations. Do not leave bikes unattended or unlocked while you move in.

Do not leave your bike unattended or unlocked while you are moving in.
