Book Your Arrival Time
Choose Your Move-In Day Arrival Time
The University of South Carolina welcomes you to an exciting Move-In Day experience!
To ensure a smooth transition into your new home, all students are required to schedule
an official arrival time. Early arrivals are not permitted, so be sure to secure an
approved check-in time in advance.
RESERVE YOUR MOVE IN TIME
To make your Move-In Day as seamless as possible, each resident must reserve an official
arrival time slot through the Housing Portal beginning July 7, 2025. Your booking window will be determined by the date and time
provided in your email.
Once your assigned building's access opens, you'll have the flexibility to adjust
your appointment anytime through July 31, 2025. However, please note that time slots are limited, and University Housing is unable
to add additional slots beyond the allotted number per 30-minute period.
If you are unable to arrive at your scheduled time, you are welcome to check in anytime after your reserved slot—but early arrivals before your scheduled time are not permitted. Thank you for helping us create a smooth and
magical move-in experience for everyone!
If you change buildings, you will need to select a new time or you will be assigned
a new arrival time-slot by our team.
