Spring 2023 Move-In Overview

The Student Living and Campus Engagement Staff is very excited you've chosen to live on campus!

Before you show up, be sure to read through this important information.

All new residents may move in on Sunday January 15, 2023 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 

Classes begin on January 17, 2023.

We are finalizing all items on the move-in checklist but some things to focus on now are:

  1. Please contact the Center for Student Success to ensure that you are all set with your financial aid package. You can contact them at (315) 792-3179. Their business hours are 8:30 am - 4:30 pm.
  2. Complete your Student Health Insurance waiver or enrollment online via the Health Center.
  3. Submit your health form with immunization records to the Student Health Center. 
  4. Have your final high school transcript submitted to the Office of Admissions.

The Office of Student Living and Campus Engagement provides students and families with some information on local restaurants, hotels, and pharmacies.  These lists are not all-inclusive but are a great starting point for you to review.

Packing Guide

A guide of what to bring, what NOT to bring, and other helpful information as you get ready to move into the residence hall rooms at Utica University.

The following is a guide of what students should and should not have in their residence hall rooms. You should spend some time thinking about what to bring but remember...you do not have to bring every item listed.  Make sure you reach out and talk with your roommate(s) so you can plan what to bring together.

Clothing

No matter how many forecasts you watch, there is no way you can predict the weather in Central New York. The walk from the residence halls to the classrooms will seem much longer if you are not dressed for the weather. Be sure to pack for all conditions. Snow is inevitable here in Utica, so be prepared.

There are also many functions where 'dressy' attire will be needed as well. You may need to "spiff up" for formal gatherings and group functions, so be sure to bring clothes for special occasions.

Room Décor

All residential rooms are an "eggshell" color so your room has a lot of potential. Beds, desks, bureaus, curtains, and a ceiling light are provided for your convenience. You may want to bring desk lamps, a spare lamp, a carpet or throw rugs, plants, and posters or pictures, which can brighten the room and make it more comfortable.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Bell Hall, Boehlert Hall, Pioneer Village, and Tower Hall are air-conditioned.
  • You are responsible for all items left in your room during the academic year. You are not allowed to leave items in your room during the summer break. Be sure to check your parents' homeowners' insurance policy for details regarding coverage for your belongings.
