Move-in Process and Guidelines
Move-in Service: OU has partnered with University and Student Services to provide a full-service move-in for students living in the Residence Halls, the Residential Colleges, Cross Village and McCasland Hall. After they check-in at the Lloyd Noble Center, volunteers will guide them north to the residential area of campus. Once they arrive at their assigned building, University Student Services will unload their vehicle and move all of their items into their room for them.
If a student has opted out of Camp Crimson, they are encouraged to move in after August 19 to move in themselves.
Please feel free to contact us by phone at (405) 325-2511 or email us at housinginfo@ou.edu from your OU email account if you have any questions.
