Roommates & Shared Items

Remember that your room will be a shared home if you have a roommate.

For the safety of our residential community, some items are not permitted in residence hall rooms. Please leave the following at home:

Students are responsible for reviewing and following all residence hall policies. Items that create a fire, electrical, health, or safety concern may be removed.

Students should plan to arrive during their designated move-in date and time.

Requests to move in early must receive advance approval from Residence Education. Early arrival is generally limited to students participating in an approved university activity, employment assignment, athletic program, or other authorized commitment.

Students who expect to arrive after the designated move-in period can report to Marian Hall upon arrival.

Move-in updates and reminders will be sent to students through their USF email. Students should check their university email regularly throughout the summer.
