What are the student move-in procedures?
Move-in will be handled in phases with schedules staggered across building and floors to optimize for social distancing.  Students must schedule a move-in reservation before arriving to campus. To maintain student safety; it will be critical that residents do not arrive on campus before their scheduled time. We strongly encourage you to do everything possible to meet the appointment. However, if you have an unresolvable scheduling problem or you are sick, contact Housing & Residence Life at asuhousing@asurams.edu from your ASU email with your name, residence hall and room number, along with the reason you are unable to make your reservation. Students who arrive on campus without a scheduled move-in appointment will be required to secure their own housing off campus until a scheduled appointment is made.
