Cougars, we are excited to welcome you to campus for the 2024-2025 academic year!
Your move-in date is determined by the residence hall you are assigned to:

Move-In Requirements
To be cleared fore move-in, residential students must meet the following requirements.
- Full-Time Enrollment Status: Undergraduate students must be registered for at least 12 credits to be considered full-time, and Graduate students must be registered for at least nine credits. View your status on KeanWISE.
- Review Billing and Financial Aid: Ensure you are in good financial standing and current with your bill to prevent deregistration from classes or housing.*
- Student Health Clearance: Required immunization requirements and health insurance must be submitted to the Student Health Portal.
Failure to comply with any of these actions WILL prevent you from moving in.
*If you were recently assigned housing, your balance and payment plan will have changed. You need to review your bill for these adjustments in a timely manner to avoid late fees or deregistration.
Although limited staff from Student Accounting and Financial Aid will be available on-site on your move-in date, there is no guarantee they will be able to assist you in removing the holds that day and you may have to return home. Students can check their clearance status in the housing portal, and follow up directly with these offices to rectify any holds well before move-ins.
Early Arrival Groups
Some students may be part of a group approved for an early arrival on campus. Students scheduled for early arrival will have a message indicating their pre-approval, date, and time for move-in.
Early arrivals must be cleared and compliant with all requirements to move in no later than 48 hours before their move-in date.
