Before You Arrive

All residents must register via the housing portal for a move-in appointment. Move-in Appointments indicate a 15-minute window that you arrive for check-in. You do not have to move-in within that 15 minutes.

To register for a move-in appointment:

1. Log in to the Housing Portal (myUCF > Tools > Housing > Housing Portal)
2. From the Housing Quick Links section on the right, click ‘Book a Move-In Appointment’
3. Click ‘Select’ next to your spring room assignment
4. Search for available dates and times for move-in weekend and reserve your appointment time

• Packing List
• Move-In Guide
  • Nike
  • Hercules
  • Neptune
• Community Living Guide
  • The Community Living Guide (CLG) provides a comprehensive overview of the rules, expectations, and behaviors that all residents are expected to follow. Students are responsible for reviewing and understanding this information. We strongly encourage families and guests to review this document as well. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the guidelines and fostering a positive living environment.

• UCF ID
  • Your UCF ID Card serves as both your residential community and room access key. First Time in College (FTIC) or Transfer students will receive their UCF Cards during their scheduled Orientation date. It is crucial to have your UCF ID Card before your scheduled move-in appointment as it will be required for check-in at your community office for proper encoding. If you do not receive your UCF Card at Orientation, we recommend visiting Card Services during their operating hours to obtain your card prior to your scheduled Housing check-in. You can find Card Services’ regular hours of operation and contact info on this page.
• Room Assignment
  • Your room and roommate information are available to you in the housing portal after room selection is complete
  • Please note: Rooms and roommate information may change due to cancellations, or other circumstances. Check your housing portal to confirm your room assignment before you arrive to campus.
• Postal Information
  • When you receive your room assignment online through the myUCF portal, you will also find your mailing address. It is crucial that any mail sent to you at UCF includes YOUR first and last name along with the PO Box number.  During the move-in process, you will receive information regarding the location of your PO Box within your community and instructions on obtaining your PO Box key.If you need to send a package to campus prior to your arrival, do not send it more than a week prior to your move-in date.  We will securely hold your package if it is addressed correctly.For more information regarding postal services, please click here.

• Payment information
  • Please make sure that you view your payments online at the myUCF portal as a paper bill will not be mailed to you. Note that if your account shows enough anticipated financial assistance to cover the cost of your housing, your payment is deferred until your financial aid is disbursed. However, if you show a balance, it must be paid by the due date. Due dates can be found on the UCF Academic Calendar here. 

    If you have questions or concerns regarding payment information, please call the Department of Housing and Residence Life at 407-823-4663 and select Option 3 to speak with an accountant.

• Renters insurance
  • We strongly encourage students to consider obtaining renter’s insurance to protect their personal belongings in case of unforeseen circumstances or events. Renter’s insurance can typically be obtained through most homeowner’s insurance policies or various insurance companies.It’s important to note that UCF and the Department of Housing and Residence Life are not responsible for any damage or loss of a student’s belongings resulting from events such as damage, fire, sprinkler discharge, hurricanes, etc., as stated in the terms and conditions of the housing agreement (specifically, Section 11: Limit of Liability). Therefore, students are highly encouraged to secure their own personal and property loss insurance.
