Move-In Process
This page contains full move-in information for Saint Louis University students. You will find assigned time blocks and parking information for each residence hall when the information becomes available.
Move-in Information for Fall 2025 will be posted soon.
New Student Move-in
- Schedule: You will be assigned a specific time block to make the move-in process as seamless as possible.
- Timing: Your residence hall and floor will determine your assigned move-in time.
- Parking: Parking passes for move-in are available in the table on the left (or at the bottom of the page on mobile). Please print your parking pass and place it on your dashboard during move-in.
Returning Students
Time blocks for returning students are designed to help with traffic flow. Returning students can request early move-in. The request process will be communicated to students closer to the move-in date
Move-In Steps
1. Arrive and Check-In
On move-in day, please arrive during your assigned time. Proceed to the designated parking area for your residence hall or apartment (see parking passes above).

2. Relocate Your Vehicle
Once you finish unloading, relocate vehicles to the designated area so others are able to move in. If you park in the Laclede Garage and need to leave, you will be able to park in the Olive Compton Garage when you return. Golf cart shuttles will run from the Olive Compton Garage if you need assistance getting back to your building.
