We are excited to welcome you to campus housing at the University of Arizona! To help make your transition to college life as smooth as possible, please return to this page often throughout the summer, and be sure check your CatMail student email regularly!
ONLINE PRE-ARRIVAL CHECK-IN AVAILABLE IN MID-JULY
Once it's available to you in mid-July, you can complete your Pre-Arrival Online Check-In in My UAHome. This process is where you'll select your Move-In day and time, review and agree to our Policies for Dorm Living, and tell us some final information. You can also download and print your unloading dash pass. Online Check-In must be completed before you arrive on campus. This helps to ensure things go quickly when you arrive at your dorm to check-in.
As we get closer to Move-In, you'll also receive helpful information via email about Move-In, including dorm-specific unloading and parking maps. Emails will be sent to your U of A CatMail student email address, personal email, as well as any alternate contacts you listed in your housing application.
Note: Sorority and fraternity recruitment events will take place AFTER classes begin. Students who are participating in recruitment will move in to their assigned dorm during their selected Move-In day and time.
PREPARING FOR MOVE-IN
Information about Move-In – including unloading/parking maps and dorm-specific information – can be found here. There’s also a checklist of suggested “What to Bring/What Not to Bring” items* **.
Students living in a suite, pod, or room with a private restroom are responsible for cleaning their own restroom and will be required to provide their own toilet paper and cleaning supplies. A list of suggested items to bring can be found here. **Honors Village residents have a specific checklist for bathrooms and kitchens that can be found here.
Assignments
The University cannot and will not consider any request for room/roommate change when that request is based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, perceived socio-economic status, or perceptions based on online profiles or information found on these profiles.
Roommates
Your room assignment will be available in your housing application in My UAHome. Even if you have already viewed your room assignment, please re-check it before you arrive. Click on Undergraduate Housing Applications in the portal menu. Roommate information is available on your Application Status page. You can send a message to your roommate(s) from that page.
If no roommate information is displaying on your Application Status page in My UAHome:
- you have not yet been assigned a roommate; or
- the student originally assigned as your roommate has cancelled their housing*
*Your roommate could change between now and your arrival if your current roommate cancels their housing. In a situation like this, another student will be assigned to your room, and their information will then appear on your Application Status page. No additional notice will be sent to you.
Payment Plans & Rent
You can enroll in an optional rent payment plan in My UAHome.
If your financial aid covers some or all housing costs, and your rent has not been posted at the time financial aid is applied to your account, you may receive a financial aid distribution check. You will still need to pay your rent and should use this check to pay it. Payment is due by the first day of classes, August 25. You can review your account and make payments in UAccess by logging into your Student Center.
CatCard
Ensure your student CatCard is ready for use when you arrive on campus by following the setup instructions provided to you after your Orientation session. Your CatCard grants access to your dorm, meal plan, exams, printing, vending, and off-campus CatCa$h transactions.
MOVE-IN: THE BIG DAY
More information about the Move-In process by dorm will be posted here and shared with incoming residents and family members via emails throughout the summer.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE ON CAMPUS TO MOVE-IN
Please go directly to your dorm. We encourage you to please review unloading/parking maps and dorm-specific information.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW?
Late Arrivals
If you are planning to arrive after 7 p.m. on Sunday, August 24, please contact Housing at 520-621-6501 or housing@arizona.edu. If we don't hear from you, you will be considered a no-show and your housing assignment would become subject to cancellation.
Temporary Housing
Please be aware that to accommodate as many students as possible at the beginning of the school year, we accept more students than our capacity and house them in temporary spaces inside the dorms. Students who may be in Temporary Housing at the start of the year have been notified.
Cancellation
If you no longer plan to live in campus housing, please click on the ‘Cancel Housing Application’ link in My UAHome and follow the prompts to cancel your Undergraduate 2024-2025 housing application.
Contact Us
If you have any questions, please contact us at (520) 621-6501 or housing@arizona.edu. Our phones are open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.– 4 p.m., Arizona time.
AUTHORIZED EARLY ARRIVAL GROUPS
Each year, we work with a variety of campus partners to approve some early Move-In groups. Early Move-In fees may apply. If you have any questions, please contact your group directly.
If you are part of the APIDA Scholars Living Learning Community, you can move-in early on Saturday, August 16 from 10AM to 2PM. Please await confirmation and more information from your group.
If you are part of Bear Down Camp, you can move-in early on Saturday, August 16 from 10AM to 2PM. Please await confirmation and more information from your group.
If you are part of the B.L.A.C.K. Living Learning Community, you can move-in early on Saturday, August 16 from 10AM to 2PM. Please await confirmation and more information from your group.
While dorms officially open and Move-In begins on August 19th, Housing & Residential Life is offering a limited number of Early Move-In for Individuals* timeslots on Saturday, August 16, between 10AM and 2PM. This option is for students not part of an approved Early Move-In group.
There is a one-time fee of $180, and students must select an Early Move-In timeslot through the My UAHome portal when sign-ups open in mid-July. Space is limited, may not be available in all dorms, and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.**
*Early Move-In for Individuals may be a good fit for students with unavoidable scheduling conflicts or those who prefer a quieter, less busy arrival before the full Move-In period begins. Please note that fewer staff and campus services will be available during this time, so we recommend this option only for students who truly need to arrive early.
**Due to late room turnovers from summer school and Conference & Guest Service late stays, no Early Move-In for Individuals timeslots will be available in Árbol de la Vida or Colonia de la Paz. Early arrivals in these buildings will be limited to approved Early Move-In groups only. (As summer progresses and we learn more about the transition to fall, we will explore the possibility of adding options.) Beyond these exceptions, Early Move-In for Individuals timeslots will be available in each building.
