We are excited to welcome you to campus! We have prepared the following resources to help you through the process of accessing campus, navigating through your check-in location and where to park once your Boilermaker has unloaded their belongings. 

Please continue to check this page to get the most updated move-in information as it is made available.

Spring Move-In Details

Arrivals

The 2023 Spring Semester Purdue University Residences contract begins Monday, January 9, 2023.  All new students and returning residents may move in beginning Wednesday, January 4, 2023, any time after 8 a.m. at no additional charge.   

With the exception of the below locations, all new students should go to their assigned residence hall’s main office to pick up their room key and check-in material. 

  • Salisbury Campus Apartments, Grant Street Apartments, Steely Apartments and Benchmark residents should go to the Hawkins Hall main office for their keys. 
  • Waldron Square, 125 Waldron, 19 Waldron and Russell residents should go to the Frieda Parker main office for their keys. 
  • Village West, Fuse and Cedarwood residents should go to the Cary Quad main office for their keys.

Once you have completed your move-in, please move your vehicle from the unloading area to one of the following locations: the McCutcheon Parking Garage, the Co-Rec Parking Lot or the University Street Parking Garage. This will help keep the move-in process running smoothly for others waiting to unload. Note: Avoid any spaces posted as reserved or handicap at all locations.
