View move-in map

Dear residents, 

On behalf of the entire University community, welcome back to the University of San Francisco! We have been busy planning for your arrival and look forward to greeting you on your move-in day!

This letter contains important information about our move-in process and on-campus assignment so please read it carefully.

Please make sure to review your roommate information in USFRooms as you may have received a new roommate.

Given our urban environment, we provide students with time slots and guide students directly to their residence hall to check in. Again, please follow the arrival instructions in the attached map and please arrive as close to your time slot provided in your move-in email as possible. Those arriving via taxi/ride-share will be able to arrive directly to their residence hall for drop off. If taking a taxi/ride-share please set the address to your residence hall. 

Move-In Tips

• Given our urban environment, traffic patterns can be challenging. Please be prepared to possibly wait in line. We appreciate your patience.
• NO Trailers or over-sized vehicles (including rooftop carriers) are permitted within the move-in areas. Please keep this in mind when you are packing and traveling to USF.
• There will be many students moving in this Fall. We provide a limited number of carts so, in many cases, you may need to wait. You may bring your own dolly to unload your belongings.
• Remember to ensure your USF Mobile OneCard is set up before your Move-in date. If you are assigned to Toler Hall you will be provided with a Residential Access Card (RAC) that will serve as your form of access to your building/room. In the event you lose your RAC, you are required to get a replacement card and will be charged a $20 replacement fee.

Specific Move-in Information (personal vehicles)

• Please follow the move-in map to campus and to your specific hall to designated unload zones. 
• Students will check-in directly at their residence hall and move-in bins will be available to check out to assist with 
• When your vehicle is unloaded into bins please relocate the vehicle to designated long-term parking while someone stays with the items and takes them to your room. 

Microfridges

If you are assigned to a space in a residence hall besides Lone Mountain East and Loyola Village/Loyola Village Townhouses and are interested in having a MicroFridge in your room, the University of San Francisco has approved the MicroFridge® rental program offered by Collegiate Concepts, Inc.(CCI) The MicroFridge® unit consists of a microwave oven and refrigerator with a separate freezer, all in one integrated unit.  Please Note: Microfridges are not allowed in Lone Mountain East and Loyola Village apartments as there is a full-size refrigerator in each apartment kitchen.

Dear students and families,

As we enter the midway point of the Fall Semester, it is never too early to start thinking about Winter Break. As your students have been working hard, they will no doubt be looking forward to a well deserved break. To help you help them prepare, Student Housing is providing a few helpful pointers so you can guide them should they have questions:

• As much as it is a transition to come to school, it is also a transition to take a break after the first semester. Most students have developed new habits and norms and leaving those can be challenging for some.
• Halls close at 12 p.m. (noon) on Saturday, December 14 for the Winter Break period. Students may move back into their rooms for the Spring Semester at 12 p.m. (noon) on Thursday, January 16th.
  • Students can request to stay during the winter break period through the winter break/intersession application process. Additionally, students can return as early as January 1 through our winter break/ intersession application process. 
  • Winter break and intersession are a separate cost of $350 per period. At that time, all halls will be open but are only open to those approved through the intersession application process. Have your student keep an eye out on their email for information on this process.
  • Information can be found here for students who need housing from December 14 - January 1 and during January 1 - January 16.
• Students will need to check out with their RA before they leave the halls for Winter Break. Make sure that all electrical devices are unplugged and that refrigerators are cleaned out. Nothing is more welcoming in January than to come into a room and open a refrigerator that has month-old leftovers inside. 
• Students can leave any or all of their belongings in their room during the break period. Please advise your students to take any essential items when they check out for the break as they will not have access back into the building until we open in January. Essential items include, but are not limited to: medicine, passport or identification, gaming consoles they might want to take home, their stuffed animal they’ve had since they were a baby.

We have been so fortunate to be part of most of your students’ first experiences here at USF. We hope this upcoming break period is one of rest and reflection on their first semester and a chance to refresh for the Spring term.

With respect, 

Torry
