Move In

Move-In is one of the most exciting times of the year! Moving into your housing area requires planning. If you're approaching your first move-in experience or you're returning to campus, you're in good hands with the University Housing Services staff. We've used our years of experience to make moving to campus smoother than you could ever imagine.

While you can expect to see materials mailed to you, be sure to download the Move-In guide as part of the official Illinois State University app.
