Move-In: Drop & Go

The number of available appointments on each day are limited, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Residents can choose from one (1) hour from 9:00 AM-5:00 PM on one of the following dates:

• Saturday, August 10th, 2024
• Sunday, August 11, 2024

Residents will need to complete the Drop & Go Sign Up form in advance. The deadline to sign up is Friday, July 26th, 2024.

NOTE: Fraternity & Sorority and USA Central House on Stadium residents are not eligible for Drop & Go.

Residents who have signed up will receive instructions in their JagMail, which will be sent a few days prior to their appointment date.

Students will NOT be checked-in during Drop & Go and will not be able to spend the night in their space until after their Move-In Appointment during Traditional Move-In. This is an opportunity to unload belongings into your room only.

Residents should arrive during the scheduled time to their respective community desk and are required to return their room key back to their community desk before Drop & Go ends that day and must leave campus immediately after unloading their items in their room up. If their key is not returned to USA Housing staff at the end of the hour block, the resident will be officially ‘checked in’ by USA Housing and charged $20.00 for each night as an early arrival through Friday, August 16th.
