North Village Move-In Details

Overall North Village Move-In Information

We are excited to have you join the North Village residential community. The following information and resources will be helpful as you pack and prepare to move into your residence hall space in North Village.

Move-In Appointments

Each student will be assigned a specific move-in appointment (date and time). Students will be asked to login to the HornetHousing Portal to confirm their time, change their appointment, or request an alternate arrival (early or late arrival).

Move-In Locations

  • Fall move-in: All North Village students will come to the Harper Alumni Center for their assigned move-in appointment. All students must check in at the Harper Alumni Center first before going to North Village to move their belongings in. If a student chooses a move-in appointment outside of the defined move-in dates/times, that student will go directly to their residence hall for check-in. For Fall 2022, all students will go to Parking Structure 3 before the Harper Alumni Center. See Fall 2022 Move-In for more details.
  • Spring and Summer move-in: All students will check in directly at their residence hall front desk.

Requesting Alternate Arrivals

Any North Village student who needs to arrive early due to extenuating circumstances must complete the online request form. Your request for early move-in will be reviewed by staff. If approved or denied, additional information will be emailed to you. Additional rates and policies will apply. Any student requesting to move in late will still be subject to all housing rent and board charges from the start of the license agreement
