Additional Move-In Information and Logistics

It is important that families aim to arrive as close to their scheduled time as possible. This helps us stagger move-in and encourage a smooth process.
Housing & Residence Life will provide additional details about move-in days to help students and families understand what to expect. We will continue to communicate that information via email. Reach out to us at reslife@aquinas.edu if you have any questions.
