Plan Ahead

Planning for Move-In

Every on-campus student must have a move in reservation to arrive on campus in the fall. A move in reservation is a scheduled block of time that you are expected to arrive at your check in location to receive your room key. The move in reservation system is designed to evenly distribute the number of vehicles arriving to campus throughout the day. The first reservation time begins at 8am and the last reservation begins at 4:30pm each day of assisted move in.

The opportunity to view or make a reservation will begin on August 11 in SPIRE, and organized by assigned residence hall. This diagram outlines when each hall becomes available to view or make their reservation. The staggered timeline is designed to manage the level of SPIRE usage to minimize connectivity concerns.

Some students are required to move in prior to August 27^th for various reasons. This group is considered EARLY ARRIVALS and will only see move in reservations on their designated move in day.

Students assigned to a Southwest Tower, CHCRC or Sylvan residence hall and are moving in between Aug 27 – 29 will see an assigned move in reservation time. This happens because these halls are moved in by professional movers who have designated what order floors will move in to maximize efficiency. Students with assigned move in times can select out of their assigned time and choose from the other options in the menu, however doing so you will forfeit all move in assistance.

All other students moving in on Aug 27 – 29 will choose a move in reservation from the list of available options in SPIRE.

Students may see options in the move in reservation for UNASSISTED move in. Please note that choosing one of these days/times will forfeit your opportunity for assistance with moving your belongings into your room.

Make Your Move-In Reservation

All students must have a Move-In Reservation.

Read the tutorial before making your reservation.
Starting on August 11, 2025 students may log into SPIRE under Main Menu > Housing > Move-In Reservation > Key Agmt to make or view their Move-In Reservation and print their boarding pass.

Students who do not make a Move-In Reservation by August 14, 2025 will be assigned a Move-In time from the remaining available options on August 15.

NOTE: If you are having difficulty accessing SPIRE due to two factor authentication issues, please contact UMass IT at 413-545-9400 for assistance between Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

After selecting or viewing your reservation time in SPIRE, you will have the ability to print your BOARDING PASS.

Every student must print their boarding pass and bring it with them to check in.

Understanding Your Boarding Pass

Printing Instructions

The boarding pass does not have to be printed in color.
Make sure the bar code is printed fully to be scanned at check in.
You can print multiple copies of your boarding pass, and should do so if you are bringing multiple cars to check in.
If for any reason your move in reservation time changes AFTER you printed your original boarding pass, you will need to print a new boarding pass.
If you do not have your boarding pass upon arrival, you will need to print one at our check in station. This will add time to your move in process.

NOTE: All students MUST print out their Boarding Pass and bring it on Move-In Day. Forgetting your Boarding Pass will add a minimum of 30 minutes to your check-in time.

What if I need to change my Move-In reservation?

Students who are unable to arrive during available Move-In Reservation times can make an Unassisted Move-In Reservation in SPIRE. If you plan to arrive to campus after Monday, September 1, 2025, you must contact Residential Services at 413-577-7777 and request to be listed as a late arrival. Failure to request late arrival may result in your assignment being cancelled.

Students with special requests to change their Move-In Reservation time must complete the Move-In Reservation Change Request Form. Reservation change requests will be reviewed and students will be notified within three business days whether their request has been approved or denied.

Please be advised that students who live in the Southwest Towers, Commonwealth Honors College and Sylvan Areas are unable to change their Move-In request, except in the event of extreme extenuating circumstances. These requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, Students in these buildings can self-select a Move-In Reservation time from 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. on Move In Days or throughout Labor Day weekend; HOWEVER please note that there is no move-in assistance available during these times. Moving bins are available for student use at their Residential Service Desk on these days.

Travel Directions and Advisories

Familiarize Yourself with all Traffic Expectations Arriving To and Within Campus

We have designed specific travel routes to each check in location to minimize traffic congestion and ensure travelers see our Move In directional signage along the way. Please follow our travel directions found in the DIRECTIONS tab and DO NOT use your GPS services near campus. Your GPS does not know that some University roads are closed or redirected specifically for Move In. The maps we provide outline how to arrive to your check in location as well as how to get to your unload zone and finally, where to park during scheduled move in times Aug 27-29 8am – 5pm. These maps can be downloaded to your device or printed at home for easy access on the road.

Arriving by bus or hired car service? Staying at the Campus Center Hotel?

If you are not arriving to campus by personal vehicle, we provide a Move In Shuttle that provides transportation from two locations on campus, along with your luggage.

SHUTTLE PICKUP LOCATIONS

Bromery Center for the Arts, located at Haigis Mall
Flint Circle, located near the Campus Center Hotel and Campus Garage

Look for our shuttle signage at these two locations for pickup information. The shuttle operates Aug 27 -29, from 8:00am – 5:00pm each day. The shuttle will bring you to your check in location to pick up your room key and then deliver you and your luggage to your residence hall. Don’t forget to have your photo ID and boarding pass ready!

This shuttle only serves riders (and their families) with assistance to their check in location and their residence hall.

What to Bring

Be Mindful of What you Bring
Please be advised that only one car/vehicle will be allowed in the unloading zone. Before you decide what you intend to bring to campus, review important reminders and suggested items on the What to Bring page. Please keep in mind, some items are prohibited from the residence halls. Students that live outside Massachusetts and wish to ship items to campus prior to Fall Move-In should review the Luggage Program.

Make sure you have your UCard

New students must upload their UCard photo with the UCard Office.
Returning students who have lost their UCard must request a replacement from the UCard Office.
At this point any student who requests a UCard will have to pick their UCard up from the UCard Office after Move-In. Failing to upload a photo or request a UCard will cause delays in accessing their residence hall and meal plan.

Update your Emergency Contact information in SPIRE.

View your assignment on SPIRE starting August 4.

Contact your roommate and decide what to bring to avoid having two MicroFridges, two TVs, etc.
Not Sure What to Bring? Get some advice from previous students to avoid bringing too much.
IMPORTANT: only one vehicle will be allowed in the unload zone on Move-in day.
Students who live outside Massachusetts and wish to ship items to campus prior to Fall Move-In should review the Luggage Program.

Complete your Move-In Reservation in SPIRE August 11-14.

You will need to sign your Key Agreement, view information regarding your Room Condition Form, and print your Boarding Pass.
View the Move-In Reservation schedule to see what time reservations become available for your hall.

Use our directions to your Check-In location.

Directions to your Check-In location are in the DIRECTIONS tab. Do not use your GPS around campus - local traffic patterns will be changed specifically for Move-In. Using your GPS will delay your arrival. Follow the Check-In location directions for your hall.

Have your UCard ID and Boarding Pass ready on Move-In Day.

You will need to show your UCard and Boarding Pass as you arrive to your check in location. Forgetting your boarding pass will add a minimum of 30 minutes to your move-in time. You must have a valid picture ID (i.e. Student ID, license, passport) in order to receive your room key.

Pack the one vehicle that will be unloaded at your residence hall.

Pack heavier items last so they are the first items placed in the moving bins
High value electronics are only eligible for moving assistance if they are in their original packaging. High value items not in their original packaging must be transported by the owner and UMass is not responsible for any damages to these items.
Please do not pack boxes/containers so heavy that they cannot be carried. Assume that you will not have access to an elevator during move-in times. Students may have to use the closest stairwell to carry their belongings to their room while move-in takes place, or they can wait until move-in concludes and elevators are available for residents to use.

FAQ

Fall Move In Frequently Asked Questions

Check out the frequently asked questions below. Contact Residential Services if you still have questions about Fall Move In. They can be reached by email @email or phone 413-577-7777 Monday - Friday 9am - 4:30pm.

MOVE IN RESERVATION

Q: What is a move in reservation?

A: Every resident needs a move in reservation to determine their day/time to arrive to campus and be issued a room key. Move in reservations are made in SPIRE starting on Monday, August 11th through Thursday, August 14th. This document outlines when each residence hall will become available to make a reservation. Reservations open in a staggered format on Monday, Aug. 11th.

Q: What should I do to prepare for move in reservation?

A: Read this tutorial about the move in reservation process prior to August 11th so you are prepared to make or view your reservation when your hall becomes available.

Q: Why have I been assigned a move in reservation?

A: There are two reasons why you may be assigned a reservation time.

Your residence hall is being moved in with the help of professional movers who determine your move in time based on their move in plan. Halls moved in by professional movers are located in Sylvan, CHCRC and all Southwest TOWERS.
You did not make a move in reservation on your own in SPIRE so you were issued one after the process closed.

Q. If I have been assigned a time, do I need to still login to SPIRE during Move In Reservation process Aug 11 - 14?

A. YES! Part of the reservation process is to sign the electronic key agreement so you can be issued a key to your room. You also will access the move in reservation to get your boarding pass to print and bring with you to campus.

Q: What if I can't arrive at my assigned reservation time?

A: Contact Residential Services or complete the MOVE IN RESERVATION CHANGE REQUEST FORM online. Each request will be reviewed with 48 business hours of receipt.

Q: What is a boarding pass?

A: Once you choose or view your reservation time a boarding pass will be generated in SPIRE. This document will highlight important information such as your room, hall, check in location and links to driving directions to and around campus. All students arriving to assisted move in day Aug 27 - 29 must print their boarding pass and bring it to check in. If you will be bringing additional cars to campus on these dates, you should print a copy of your boarding pass for those vehicles too. The boarding pass does NOT have to be printed in color. If your reservation day/time is changed, a new boarding pass will have to be printed. You can print your boarding pass up until the day of your move in reservation.

EARLY ARRIVAL (BEFORE AUG 27)

Assisted Move In Days: Aug 27 - 29 8am - 5pm

Q: What is Assisted Move In?

A: Most students and families and will experience an Assisted Move in this fall. This takes place on Aug 27 - 29 between 8am - 5pm each day. Students with a move in reservation during this time will receive assistance with moving belongings to their residence hall room from either professional movers or student Minute Movers.

Q: What is the assistance difference between Minute Movers and professional movers?

A: Minute Movers are UMass Amherst students who meet you at your unload zone and assist moving your items to the room alongside the student/family. Professional movers will remove student's belongings from the vehicle at the unload zone and secure them in the room while the student and family park the car and walk back to the hall.

Q: Can we decline moving assistance?

A: If you prefer to move your items in on your own, please choose an unassisted move in time. These are available in the evenings between 6pm - 10pm. You will be able to park at your hall to unload, use a moving bin if your hall has an elevator and move yourself in.

Q: Where do I go to check in on Assisted Move In Days?

A: Residents assigned to live in Southwest and CHCRC will check in at WEST CHECK IN, located behind the McGuirk Football Stadium. Residents assigned to live in Northeast, North Apartments, Central, Orchard Hill and Sylvan will go to EAST CHECK IN located in parking LOT 44 behind North Apartments. This is where you will be issued your key before being sent to your hall to be unloaded.

Q: What happens if it is expected to rain on my move in day?

A: Rain in any amount or duration will not stop our move in process. We recommend you pack items in large plastic bags to keep them dry through the process. Movers will cover belongings as they are being moved but we are not able to guarantee that items will not get wet in the process. Non-students should consider bringing an extra set of dry clothes/shoes so you can comfortably enjoy the rest of your time on campus.

UMass Emergency Management monitors the weather for serious weather events, such as lightning storms. If lightning is detected in our area, UMass will notify students with reservations arriving that day by email (UMass email address ONLY) of what to expect. The outdoor move in team is required to cease operations and seek indoor shelter when a lightning strike is detected within 8 miles of our campus. We will resume operations as soon as it is safe to do so. Students should monitor their UMass email account closely if this type of weather is expected on their move in day.

Q: What if I miss my move in reservation time?

A: We understand that unexpected delays or early arrivals take place. There is no need to notify us if you will still be arriving on your move in day between 8am - 5pm. If you arrive after 5pm, you will have to move yourself in unassisted and will check in and get your key at your Residential Service Desk after 6pm.

Q: What do I need to know to be prepared for Assisted Move In?

A: Review our checklist for success for important information such as the ONE CAR RULE and to print your boarding pass.
