Move-In

Each Residence Hall page details what will be in your room upon arrival, as well as approximate room dimensions. However, note that the measurements for the items listed are general in order to help you get a sense of your space. Each room is unique and varies in dimensions, sometimes greatly.

Tip: Winston-Salem has many popular retail stores for outfitting your room. Our office suggests you wait until seeing your space before purchasing everything you think you might need.

With thousands of students returning to campus in just a few days, moving can be chaotic. To make everyone’s arrival as pleasant as possible, please:

• Observe all parking restrictions and traffic patterns; University Police will enforce these regulations. Park only on designated streets and in designated lots; do not park on the lawns since it may damage the underground sprinklers. While you are checking in, park in the designated unloading areas with flashers on.
• Quickly unload your belongings at the curb nearest to your residence hall. Once you are finished unloading, please move your vehicle to a parking lot.
• Do not park in handicap spaces, fire lanes, service areas, driving lanes, roadways, sidewalks, on the grounds or any other area not designated for parking.
• Check weather forecasts and plan accordingly. Bringing umbrellas and plastic for covering your belongings would be a good idea if rain is in the forecast.
• Plan accordingly to move your items.  Availability of hand trucks on campus will be limited.

In the days after check-in, you will receive an email asking you to check your Room Condition Report (RCR) which states the condition of items in your room at the time you move in. Take a few minutes to inspect your room to see if there are any discrepancies between your RCR and the actual condition of your room. If there are discrepancies, you must notify your Resident Adviser (RA) within 48 hours to ensure that you will not be financially accountable for pre-existing damages upon your check-out.
