University of North Texas 
Thursday, August 15-10am to 2pm
This is move-in madness like you've never seen before! We have many staff and student volunteers ready to make your move-in experience smooth and painless. In order to take advantage of the system we have for you, you need to follow these move-in procedures.
McConnell Hall - each student is assigned a color based on where they are living in the hall. Your check-in process will begin at the appropriate color entrance (see list of students and map below).
STEP #1 - Find out your Move-In COLOR. If you don't find your name, email or call the front desk. haley.myers@unt.edu or 940.565.4955.
STEP #2 - Find out what part of the building you should go to when your first arrive on Thursday. Your check-in process begins at the spot on the following map that corresponds to your color. This gets you closer to your room and there will be several staff members there to assist you.

STEP #3 - Pull up and a staff member will assist you. The student will be escorted to the room (without their stuff) by a volunteer to get the process started. Hopefully, there will be several eager volunteers there to assist you in unloading your car and moving the belongings up to the room. In order to make this process work - it is important that you clearly mark all boxes and belongings with the student's name and room number. An adult that drives remains with the car.
STEP #4 - Once your car has been unloaded, please pull your car around to the lot located directly across from the front doors on Sycamore. Please do not leave an empty car near the building for that impedes other families from enjoying the beauty of our move-in system and eager volunteers.
STEP #5 - Once inside the building and after moving in, the parents and students can set up the room and walk around the campus abit.
