✅ Select Your Move-In Time Slot

To select a Move-In time slot, you must have a conﬁrmed room assignment or temporary housing assignment. If you are still waiting for an assignment, please be patient as we work through the assignments process. We have plenty of Move-In time slots to choose from and guarantee a time that will accommodate your travel schedule. Assignment conﬁrmations for Room Selection and for Contracts submitted during June will be sent out no later than June 26, 2023.
For Contracts submitted after June 23, assignments will be completed in the order contracts are received, and assignment conﬁrmation emails will be sent out July 7, July 21 and August 4.
If you are unable to select a time slot because you will arrive after the last check-in time slot available, please check in at your front desk upon arrival.
If you will be unable to arrive by the ﬁrst day of classes on August 21, please notify the Housing Information Oﬃce by email at housing@illinois.edu of when you intend to check in. If you arrive after August 21 without notifying the Housing Information Oﬃce, your assignment may change. Failure to claim your room assignment does not automatically cancel your contract.
