Moving Day
We are so glad you have decided to live in campus housing at the University of Nevada, Reno. Living in campus housing can have a great impact on your academic success and personal growth. Not only is campus housing comfortable and convenient, but it also offers students ample opportunities to make new friends and be involved in floor, hall, and campus-wide activities. Best of all, living in campus housing is fun!
Roommates
Your roommate information can be found online by logging in to your housing portal.Our software will allow you to view the name(s) and email address(es) of your roommate(s). Please email them to exchange contact information. We highly encourage you to talk over the phone with each other as you begin to connect and make plans for setting up your room

Opening
Before arriving to campus, all residents must complete the Opening Day form. The link to the Opening Day form is listed in the assignment letter emailed to you. This form allows you to sign up for a check-in time slot.
Please Note: Students must arrive during their selected time to check into their residence hall. We do not allow parents, friends, etc. to check in for you. The residence halls open Thursday, August 20, 2020, and you must reserve a check-in time on the form if arriving before 5p.m. that day. It is important to remember that you must notify the Residential Life, Housing, and Food Service office in writing if you will be arriving later than 5 p.m., Monday, August 24, 2020, or your housing assignment may be released to another student.
Students participating in Nevada FIT should complete the online forms and reserve a check-in time for Saturday, August 15 or Sunday, August 16, 2020. Available check-in times are limited so reserve yours as soon as possible.
Students participating in other university-sponsored programs (e.g. Marching Band) should complete the online forms and contact their program for move-in information.
Room changes
If for some reason you desire a room change, you may complete a Room Change Request Form after August 20, 2020, by logging into your housing portal. We will accept Room Change requests for the first two weeks of the fall semester. Requests are accommodated as spaces become available.
Meal plans
You may change your meal plans once from August 20, 2020, through 5 p.m., September 11, 2020, by completing the meal plan change form on your housing portal. Changes after September 11th are for meal plan increases only. To learn more about our dining progam, please review our campus dining information.
