Upper-Class Residence Hall Opening

Fall 2025 Residence Hall Opening Information for Returning Students

Welcome back! The Office of Housing and Residence Life is excited to welcome you to campus for the 2025–2026 academic year. Please review the information below regarding residence hall opening and move-in procedures for returning students.

Move-In Date for Returning Students

All returning students (who have a housing assignment) must sign up for a specific move-in arrival date and time. An email with instructions on how to register for a time slot will be sent to your Spelman email address the week of July 13th. Please check your email regularly and sign up as soon as possible once the link becomes available. Move in date options will be August 16th – 19th between a certain time frame.

How Move-In Information Will Be Shared

All official move-in communications, including sign-up instructions, check-in locations, and parking information, will be sent directly to students' Spelman email accounts. Parents and guardians will not receive separate notifications, so students are encouraged to share important details with their families.
