Fall Move Out

If you have a continuing contract and have participated in Spring Room Reassignment you will need to move out between semesters. If you are staying in the same assignment for the full year, you will not need to move out.

Fall Move In

Depending on fall housing assignment and/or Summer II housing assignment.

Specific dates and times for Fall move-in will be sent to students over the summer based on room assignment, as well as information about how to request a date change. If you are living in Summer II housing you will receive a Move-to-From date for mid-August, where you will move directly from their Summer II space to your Fall space.

Fall move-in takes place over the course of 7-9 days around and over Labor Day Weekend leading up to the first day of classes and move support is only available for certain buildings on specific days. If possible, students should not book travel until they receive their official move-in date and time for the smoothest move in experience.

Preparing for a New Semester

We look forward to welcoming you and your student to campus. As you prepare to arrive to a new space, you may have questions about how to prepare. Students are always assigned a specific move-in date and time which is shared with them via Northeastern email. Sometimes, there is opportunity to change their arrival date, although early arrivals are not always available and move-in services may not be available on alternate dates.

While we cannot share specific room details like layout, number of closets, square footage, etc. , we will recommend that you bring the essentials and a few personal touches. There are opportunities near campus to purchase additional items, as well as having items shipped to campus once your student has settled into their space. It is common for students to move to different rooms for summer terms, and having a manageable amount of belongings is helpful for those transitions.

  • Looking for a recommended list of what to bring (and what not to bring)? You can find more information on our What to Bring page.
  • We partner with several vendors who provide resources to our students and families such as summer storage, microfridge rentals, and blue bike services. More information can be found on our Vendor Information page.
  • Keep in mind, there is no oversized (over 6’8” including roof racks/storage) or overnight parking provided.
Details for Fall Move In 2025 Including dates by building, parking, maps, and driving directions will be posted here in August.
