As the Fall 2024 semester approaches, we want to ensure you’re prepared for moving into the residence halls at Millersville University. Please read the information below to understand how to get ready and what to expect during the move-in process.
RESIDENCE HALL ASSIGNMENTS
Residence hall building and room assignments will be available within your student account (i.e., MAX > MyHousing) on Friday, July 12, 2024, after 3:00 p.m. We appreciate your patience as we continue to make adjustments to room assignments through that time.
MOVING IN
Below are the dates and times you may move onto campus based upon your specific residence hall assignment and whether you are a new, returning, or transfer student. This schedule is designed to mediate the flow of traffic and avoid congestion in and around the residence halls created by the large number of students and families. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to this schedule. We look forward to having you here at the ‘Ville!

Move-In Day Expectations
Once you arrive to campus during your designated day and time, here is what you can expect:
- Family and / or friends may accompany you for the move-in process for help, but we encourage you to limit the number of individuals needed for support due to traffic congestion and parking availability concerns.
- The entire move-in process can take between 1-2 hours long during peak periods.
- Upon your arrival to campus, you will see signs pointing you where to go.
- Please note that if you have more than one vehicle, only one at a time will be permitted to park next to the building for unloading.
- When you arrive at your hall, you will be able to unload your belongings. The driver will immediately move the car to the designated parking area while you go to the check-in area to receive your keys.
- We will have a limited number of student volunteers (“Movers & Shakers”) on hand to help. If you would like assistance, available Movers & Shakers will help you load your belongings into large carts for transport to your room as quickly as possible.
- Due to the high number of new students moving in, at times you might find it easier to move yourself in without help from a volunteer Mover & Shaker.
- After you unload the vehicle, you will need to move it to an open parking area, which may be on another part of campus. You will be directed to these areas.
- We encourage you to pack lightly and bring any hard carts that you may have to expedite your move-in process.
Residential Student Mail and Package Information

Movers & Shakers Volunteering Opportunity

Movers & Shakers are responsible for meeting and greeting new students, their families, helping to move students’ belongings into their rooms, and assisting MUPD with traffic flow. Student volunteer registration will be forthcoming in mid-July.
