  • Move-In and What to Bring

    Move-In Policy

    In order for buildings, rooms, and the College to be fully prepared for move-in, students are expected to arrive on their assigned move-in date, and not before. Students arriving prior to their assigned move-in date will not be permitted to move in under any circumstances. 

    All students are assigned a specific move-in date for campus arrival:

    New Student Move-In: Saturday, August 24

    Returning Student Move-In: Tuesday, August 27


    All students are also assigned a specific move-in time:
    Assigned move-in times will be communicated in advance to all students via email and postal mail.  

    Assigned times allow for campus to accommodate heavy vehicle traffic and parking, and ensure a smooth and enjoyable arrival.

    All students will have the same assigned move-in time as their direct roommate(s).

    New Student Move-In: Saturday, August 24
    New students will receive an email mid-August sharing their housing assignment, roommate(s), and move-in time. Shortly thereafter, a Move-In Access Pass will arrive via postal mail, which will allow access to the student’s building during their assigned time on their assigned move-in day.  Students may arrive any time after their assigned move-in time, but not prior.  Note that students will receive the same move-in time as each of their direct roommates. 

    To ease transition and ensure support, new students are not permitted to move in prior to August 24, which is the start of orientation. Email reslife@endicott.edu with questions or concerns regarding move-in. 

    Returning Student Move-In: Tuesday, August 27
    Returning students are not permitted to move in prior to August 27 as established in the 2024-2025 academic calendar. Returning students arriving prior to this date will not be permitted to move in under any circumstances. 

    Returning students will receive their move-in time, room assignment, and direct roommate name(s) via email in mid-August. In addition, they will receive a packet in the mail with their Move-In Access Pass, which will allow them to move in during their assigned time. Returning students may arrive any time after their assigned move-in date/time, but not prior. 

    Exceptions to the returning student move-in date of August 27 include the following approved Early Arrival Groups: international students, teachers in practicum training, RAs, OLs, in-season athletes, on-campus jobs with request of supervisor and approval, or internship with supervisor approval.

  • Tips for a Sustainable Move-In

    Bring all of your waste to the appropriate dumpster!

    • Break down cardboard and place in open top dumpster labeled “Cardboard Recycling”.
    • All trash—including Styrofoam, plastic bags, bubble wrap, and air pillows—goes in the open top trash dumpster.
    • Other recycling—cans, paper, plastic containers—goes in blue dumpsters.

    Locate the nearest dumpsters to you by using our EcoMap—select “Trash” and “Recycling” on the left-hand column.

    • All traditional-style residence halls come with small recycling and trash bins. Students can use this to help separate trash and recycling when moving in. These bins are part of the room and will result in a room charge if missing at the end of the year.

    Follow these tips to make your move-in green!

    Reach out to sustainability@endicott.edu to learn more about making your move-in sustainable.
