Move-In Appointments

University Housing assigns Move-In appointments based on a balance load by room assignment and the available parking we have during Move-In. We have a limited number of Move-In appointments by hour to help make your Move-In process efficient!

If your adjustment request is not approved, you will be emailed at the email address(es) provided on your request form. University Housing will work to best accommodate an alternative time for those requests that are unable to be granted.

Move-In Appointment Adjustment Request
  • (99x-xx-xxxx)
    If selecting "Other" please ensure you are requesting a date LATER than August 28th for the residence halls or after September 1st for Kenilworth. Any request for earlier than these dates should be submitted as an Early Arrival Request and can be made at uwm.edu/housing/secure/early-arrival/. Early Arrival Requests are due no later than August 1st. Late requests will not be accepted. Early Arrival Requests submitted via this form will not be accepted.
  • Check all that apply.
  • Formal Move-In processes and staffing end at 7 pm during Move-In days for Sandburg and RiverView and 5pm for Cambridge. Residents requesting a Move-In appointment after 5pm/7 pm should anticipate having to use street parking, longer security lines, and limited staff resources to assist. Additionally, access to each building will be provided through the main/front entrance door, requiring all Move-In helpers to be registered as guests. Finally, to respect all members of the community, we encourage all Move-Ins to occur prior to 10 pm.

Room Condition Reporting

University Housing highly recommends all residents submit a Room Condition Report when moving into a suite/apartment/room each academic year and, also, if a room change occurs at any point during the year. If a resident chooses not to submit a report when taking occupancy of a suite/apartment/room, any damages that may have occurred prior to their occupancy could be charged to the new occupant at the completion of their contract.

Residents can complete their Room Condition Report within 10 days of moving in through their Housing Portal. After logging in, click on Room Condition Report at the top of the page to submit.
