Moving In

Make it Easy for Yourself

Tentative date for Fall 2023 move in (new students only) is:  Thursday, August 17, 2023.

(Returning students move in on Sunday, August 20).

If you live within a two-hour drive of Slippery Rock, you can make move-in day easier by just bringing the essentials including clothes to last two weeks. Sometime during those two weeks, you can either pick up the rest of your things on a trip home, or invite your parents or family members to come to campus for a visit and ask them to bring you want you need.  By that time, you'll have a good idea of what you really need from home and what can realistically fit into your room.  We got a bit of a list started for you here: What to Bring.
