Stop, Drop And Roll

Stop, Drop, and Roll is an optional part of move in that allows you to sign up for a time slot to drop off items into your room and set up your room for the fall semester, but you will not stay on campus. We strongly recommend you take advantage of Stop, Drop, and Roll if you are able to do so, as there will be limited parking in and around the halls during traditional move-in beginning on August 14.

July 26 – August 4*

*Please Note: Not all halls are available on each day, please see the schedule for when your hall is available.

You will receive an iSpartan email by July 7th, with detailed instructions and a link on how to sign up for a time slot for Stop, Drop, and Roll.

  • Please pay attention to the clock as you unload your belongings and move into your room. We ask that you adhere to the time slot you have signed up for.
  • If you see any maintenance concerns, please submit a Fixt Request.
  • Once your time period has ended, you will need to leave the residence hall. No one may spend the night in any residence hall during Stop, Drop, and Roll.
  • After you have dropped off items, please proceed directly to your parking space and leave the parking lot as quickly as possible. Residents in the subsequent time slot will need to park in those spaces.

Residents will not need to check in again when they return to campus for Move In.

Traditional Move IN

Move In is when students are able to move in to their spaces for the Fall semester. Students are assigned a suggested Move In Day to help mitigate traffic and wait times. We encourage you to attend your assigned Move In Day as we will have readily available to assist in your check in. If you must come on another day, anticipate heightened wait times for Check-In. If you are able to, we suggest signing up for Stop, Drop, and Roll to move items in prior to Move In.

If you attended Stop, Drop and Roll, most or all of your belongings should be in your room already. In this case all you will need to do is bring any last minute items and move into your Residence Hall for the fall. You will have already received your room key and will be able to proceed to your room without checking in again.
