Before You Arrive

Move-In Arrival registration

Our move-in process for first-year students is Wednesday, August 14 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm and Thursday, August 15 from 8:00am to 1:00pm. 

Please note that Wednesday is limited. If you wish to move-in Wednesday, make sure to select a time slot early. Students who live in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana are not eligible to arrive on Wednesday evening. We request that all students select their move-in timeslot no later than Friday, August 2. Students participating in Smooth Transitions, X-Path, or ADR pre-orientations and fall student athletes should not select one of these move-in timeslots. Contact the coach or program leader for arrival information.

Upon your arrival to campus, you can anticipate the following procedures:

  • A staff member will check that you are arriving on the day and time that you registered for on your Housing Self-Service
    • If you arrive outside of that window, you may be asked to come back later or the following day depending on the scenario
  • Is everything in your vehicle labeled with your name, residence hall, and room number?
  • Do you have your OnePass downloaded and ready to go?
  • You will then proceed forward to move-in to your new home!

For more information on this process, see the resident students page here. 

Packing List

There are a lot of websites with information about how to pack for college and what to bring. Although these websites all have good suggestions, there is a specific Xavier University packing list that has an outline of what to bring and what not to bring based on our Student Handbook.

Labeling Belongings

Xavier Manresa Move-In

Labeling your boxes for when you are moving in is simple. First, make sure everything is securely packed in boxes or containers and if something is breakable please reinforce it with some sort of padding. Once the boxes are all packed, please label them with both a first and last name and the room number in the specific residence hall. A good way to make sure your label is noticed is to write with a permanent marker on masking tape. For example, on every single box brought for move in, a you might put, "Ima Musketeer- 117 Brockman Hall". This helps in case anything gets misplaced, we can find the appropriate owner!
