Students in UAPB’s Living Learning Communities will move in on Sunday, August 17, 2025.
What to Expect on Move-In Day
STEP 1: Determine your move-in shift.
The assisted move-in process for freshmen and transfer students only will take place on Sunday, August 17. There is no need to register or sign up for this process. Your move-in time slot will depend on the dormitory to which you are assigned. Please be sure to take note of the designated color of your dormitory for the traffic maps below.
Transfer Students:
Upon arrival at the first checkpoint, please inform the student volunteer if your residential assignment is not Harrold Complex or Delta Complex.
- Morning Move-In Shift
8:00 am – 12:00 pm
- Afternoon Move-In Shift
1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
STEP 2: Locate your Living Learning Community’s assigned entrance and traffic flow on the campus map.
Your entrance into UAPB’s campus will be the smoothest if you locate the entrance and follow the traffic flow identified for your Living Learning Community. It is very important you do not use mobile mapping services to guide you to your Living Learning Community as they do not account for the specific traffic flow established for Move-In Day. Instead, use the printable maps provided or the Google Map pins below.
If you have multiple vehicles, make sure each car knows your Living Learning Community’s name and room number. Click each map to enlarge, save or print. If you have individuals attending with you who will NOT have any items to unload, they should park and meet you at your Living Learning Community rather than going through the traffic routes on the map.

STEP 3: Pack wisely.
All of your belongings should be boxed/bagged and tagged. Please make every effort to organize your belongings in boxes, plastic bins, or trash bags and label them with your name, residence hall name, and room number. This helps our volunteers make quick work of getting items to your room. Also make sure to review this suggested packing list that includes items you should not bring to your residence hall room. If items that are prohibited are found, we will not take them to your room.
STEP 4: Check Into Housing
You will check-in with Housing & Residence Life and receive a packet of information along while you are waiting in line in your vehicle. Please complete all forms and hang tags in your packet. They will place a sheet of colored paper that corresponds to your Living Learning Community on your dashboard.
STEP 5: Pull up and we will unload!
You may have to wait in line, but we will get to you! The goal is to get you in your room as fast and easy as possible. That’s why we will do all the moving for you! When you arrive at your Living Learning Community, the student or passenger will open the trunk and then we will unload all your belongings. It is very important that you DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE UNATTENDED, even if just for a moment. We want to unload your vehicle as quickly as possible so that you can park and come back to find all of your belongings already in your room.
