Around 6,100 students will travel to Illinois State University August 3-21 for the fall 2016 move-in. Students will have assigned move-in dates and times depending on their housing assignment.
Students returning to Hewett and Manchester may move in Monday and Tuesday, August 15-16. Approximately 60 percent of residence hall residents—students in Hewett, Manchester, Watterson, Wright, Wilkins, and Haynie—will move in Wednesday and Thursday, August 17-18. The remainder of returning students will schedule move-in appointments between Friday and Sunday, August 19-21.
Move-in for residents of Cardinal Court, Fell Avenue, and School Street apartments started Wednesday, August 3.
University Housing has a Move-In Guide on the Illinois State App that provides information on getting to campus and what to expect after a student moves in to University housing. Members of the community can also download the app to keep up-to-date with information regarding move-in, such as road closures.
Temporary traffic patterns and some street closures will be in effect August 15-19. North Street will be one-way east from School Street to Fell Avenue; Fell Avenue will be one-way south from Mulberry Street to College Avenue (only move-in traffic allowed); Fell Avenue will be closed between College Avenue and North Street; and Fell Avenue will be closed for all northbound traffic.
More than 350 students and staff will serve as move-in volunteers. The volunteer ranks will include Association of Residence Halls members and 130 student athletes and athletic staff.
