Move-In 2023
Thank you for choosing to Live the Buccaneer Experience in on campus housing with us! We are excited to share some information about our move-in process.
Please note, staff and resources will be concentrated to areas where move-ins are scheduled each day. If students and families arrive outside of their assigned move-in time, there will not be staff available meaning you may have lengthy wait times or not be permitted to check in. It will be essential that students and families make the necessary arrangements to move in during their assigned day and time. Please see the details below to match your specific circumstance.
Arriving to Campus
Your move-in process will take place at your assigned hall. Move-In maps and parking information will be posted here later in the Summer.
Please be sure to bring your ETSU student ID. Your ETSU ID is required to check you in.
- In the event that you have lost/misplaced your ETSU ID, you will need to get another ID made and pay for it. Contact ETSU ID Services for more information.
Your ETSU student ID will be encoded, and you will be provided further instructions for moving in at your residence hall/apartment.
Items to Complete Prior to Arrival
In an effort to make your check-in process as smooth and quick as possible, we ask that you be registered for Fall 2023 classes, have submitted all required forms in your Residence Portal, and have turned in your meningitis vaccination to the University Health Center.
- To check your forms in your Residence Portal, log in using your ETSU username (your email address minus “@etsu.edu” and password
(same as what you use for your email).
- In the lower left-hand corner, you will see an area marked “Applications”
If a document is noted as “Get Started,” this is a document to be completed. These are the documents that need to be completed:
- Housing/Dining or Buc Ridge Agreement
- Any Special Agreements for Your Assigned Room
- Emergency and Medical Contact Information Form
- Missing Student Contact Information Form
- In the lower left-hand corner, you will see an area marked “Applications”

New Incoming Students
All new incoming students (Freshmen & Transfers) will check in on Wednesday, August 23, 2023. We ask that students and families make the necessary arrangements to check-in on this date. Traditional Preview will begin on that Wednesday evening and run through Sunday, August 27.
Returning Students
Returning students may check in any time between 9:00am and 5:00pm on Friday, August 25; Saturday, August 26; or Sunday, August 27.
Summer Residents
Current Summer residents will transition from their Summer assignment to their Fall assignment in mid-August, depending on availability of the Fall assignment. If the Summer assignment is the same as the Fall assignment, obviously this will not be necessary. Further instruction will be sent to all Summer residents with Fall assignments by late July.
Students Participating in University Programs, Requiring Early Arrival
Students participating in certain other University groups (i.e. Quest, Band, Athletics) will be able to move-in early on dates/times/charges agreed upon by group and Housing. If you are part of one of these groups, your leader will provide your name on a list to us and will notify you of the agreed upon day/time for your check-in.
We look forward to welcoming you to campus!
