Residence hall move-in dates

August 1, 2017

University Relations

The Department of Residence Life is aligning its move-in dates with the UA system, which separates students into two categories. Beginning this fall, we will have two move-in dates.



  • Wednesday, Aug. 23: First-year and transfer students attending New Student Orientation

  • Thursday, Aug. 24: All other students




Moving in first-year and transfer students a day early will allow our department to fully focus on Rev-It-Up, and it provides a great move-in experience for students coming UAF for the first time. We have communicated this information to all current and incoming residents.


Please be aware that all early arrivals must be approved in advance. If students arrive earlier than their scheduled move-in date it may not be possible to accommodate them. If we are able to find a space for them they will be charged an early arrival fee of $125 a night. We appreciate your support in communicating this information to new and returning students. If a student has questions about move-in or early arrivals, please have them contact Residence Life at uaf-housing@alaska.edu or 907-474-7247.
