Residence Hall Move-In Plan
Moving in to the Residence Halls for Fall and Spring Semesters
All students moving into the residence halls are required to select a move-in appointment prior to arrival. The Housing Operations Staff will send out full details to all students with directions on how to select a move in appointment. Please note that students will be required to complete their Housing Agreement, their Housing Pre-Arrival Form, their Insurance Confirmation form, ensure their student account is in good standing, and be compliant with the University’s COVID-19 Vaccination policy before they will be able to select a move in appointment.
Move in details (and directions for new students regarding selecting a move in appointment) will be sent as follows:
- Fall arrivals - some information about move in will be sent throughout the summer, but formal details of how to select a move in appointment, and what to expect when moving in, will be shared in an email sent in August
- Spring arrivals - details about selecting a move in appointment, and what to expect when moving in, will be shared in an email sent in January
- Spring returning student move in (for students who lived on campus in the fall and are returning from winter break) - an email will be sent in November with move in reminders (note: fall resident students returning from winter break will not need to select a move in appointment prior to arrival)
-
New students, including First Year, Transfer and Graduate students entering Pace for the first time this semester, are asked to select a move-in appointment on the Primary Move-In Days for their campus. These are:
- Westchester Campus: Saturday, September 2, 2023

New undergraduate students who participate in a Virtual Orientation over the summer and will therefore attend in-person Orientation workshops on Friday, September 1 are asked to select a move-in appointment for Thursday, August 31, 2023.
New students who must arrive early should email housing@pace.edu for assistance. Wednesday, August 30, 2023 is the earliest we can accommodate arrivals for the fall semester*. Dining facilities will not open until that day, and service on that day will be limited.
