Bring only the essentials - There is a Walmart, Target, Bed
Bath & Beyond within 1.5 miles of campus
Pack your items in easy to carry storage containers, along
with labeling them with your name and room number
If available bring a hand-truck/dolley to move larger items
ParkWith everyone moving in on the same day, parking near the hall can be a challenge during move in.
Know the rules:Parents and guests are allowed to park in the parking lots
near the hall without permits (Only during move in weekend)
Students can purchase a parking decal for the school year
online: parking.uah.edu
Parking is not allowed in front of the buildings or in any
roundabouts during move in at any time. You will be able to
drop off belongings in the roundabout on Saturday, but you can
not park or leave your vehicle unattended.

Check InBefore you head up to your new room, you will need to check in and complete some paperwork.
The Check In Process:Step 1: Park your vehicle and walk into the Residence Hall where directed
Step 2: Check in Will start at in the MPR, which is the first set of doors past the front doors of Charger Village. At this time we will confirm your assignment, receive your keys, have your hall sticker placed on your charger card, and complete administrative paperwork.
If you haven’t submitted your immunization paperwork or housing contracts do so here
Step 3: Leave the MPR to go to the front desk where you will have your charger card programmed and have your hall sticker placed on your charger card,
Step 4: Once you’ve had your charger card programmed, you can start to move in your belongings.
You can register your bike at the front desk. All bikes on campus must be registered. To do so you
will need: Make, Model, Color, & Serial Number.
MoveMoving in to your new home is an exciting time! This is the time to decorate and make your space your own.
Here are some frequently asked questions about moving
in to your new room:Can I move around or remove any of the furniture in my room?
Students are welcome to rearrange furniture in their suites to fit their taste, but
removal of any furniture items is not allowed.
How do i loft/Bunk my bed to allow for more room?
You can make a request for help at the Front desk of your building. We also
encourage you to bring a rubber mallet to loft the beds and make adjustments.

You can report any issues to the front desk.
