Move-In Information

New residents moving into the residence halls for spring semester should receive an e-mail from Residence Life that contains important room and roommate information. This e-mail also includes the day/time for move-in and the building into which you will be checking. Please note that students should not arrive before the assigned move-in time, as they will not be allowed to move-in early. 

51³Ô¹ÏÍø Nighthawks ID Card

Students must bring their 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Nighthawks ID card with them to check into the residence halls. Students will not have access to the dining hall without it.

You should bring items that will make you feel most comfortable in your room. However, remember that the living room and kitchen area will be shared with other people. Also, there are items not allowed in the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Residence Halls.

Most residents self-select their roommates through the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Housing Portal.  For students who do not self-select, the Residence Life Staff puts a lot of effort into assigning compatible roommates, and we ask you to make every effort to work out minor issues. However, in either case, there are several opportunities during the year for a student to find a new roommate and change rooms.

Owen Hall is open during university semester breaks. Residents are required to complete a 50-week contract.

All bedrooms in Owen Hall are single occupancy.  However, each apartment has multiple residents, so please be prepared to share bathrooms, living rooms, and kitchens with roommates.

Full-time students who have not earned 60 semester hours and do not meet one of the exceptions to the Residence Policy must live on campus.
