First-Year Move-In Day

Bold Hall
Friday, August 23, 2024
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

 La Roche University students moving in to residence halls.

All incoming first-year and transfer students who are not part of the Early Arrival process will move in on Friday, Aug. 23.

Arrive any time between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. We recommend arriving after 10 a.m. to avoid the busiest time. If you can't arrive between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., please contact Patrick Bussiere, director of Housing & Residence Life, to discuss alternative move-in arrangements: patrick.bussiere@laroche.edu.

Move-In Process

Enter campus via the Babcock Boulevard entrance, and follow signs to the top of the hill. Please park in the Commuter Parking Lot. Instead of walking to Bold Hall, you'll check in on the Wright Library Lawn.

After you check in, you'll have a 30-minute window to unload your car in one of two designated parking areas. After unloading, please return all cars to the Commuter Lot to allow space for other students. 

Check out this map as a helpful resource for navigating campus and the move-in process.

Early Arrival Groups
If you're arriving early for University-sponsored reasons (Athletics, Orientation Leaders), we'll email you detailed move-in information closer to your arrival date.

For other early arrival requests, please email patrick.bussiere@laroche.edu. Approvals are limited to extenuating circumstances.


Room Assignments & Changes
Your housing assignment is available on the Housing Portal. If you don't have one, please email patrick.bussiere@laroche.edu as soon as possible. We encourage you to reach out and get to know your roommate.

For roommate or room change requests, contact us by Aug. 5. We'll accommodate requests based on availability. Requests after this date will be addressed during our Open Room Switch process in September.
