Late arrivals will need to seek accommodations off campus for the evening. Students who missed their appointment, January 6-10, should report to the testing site for testing before arriving to their residential community.
This includes the Apollo, Libra, Lake Claire, Nike, Hercules, Neptune, Towers and NorthView housing communities as well as the four UCF-Owned Greek houses.

If you do not already have a UCF ID card, and have not pre-submitted your UCF ID information to Card Services, you will have to go to the Card Services office on your move-in day to get your card created before you can check into housing at your community. You may do this before or after your COVID-19 test, but before you arrive at your community for housing check-in. See move-in map below for location information.

After you have completed your COVID-19 test and have checked-in, you will drive to the designated parking for your community. Parking areas are not near the residence halls. Therefore, we recommend that families bring their own hand cart or dolly to transport items from their vehicles. Parking and traffic patterns will be strictly enforced. Do not park in fire lanes, service vehicle parking, or reserved parking at any time during move-in.
Should you find any maintenance or cleaning needs during move-in, place a work order online or call your community office..
Throughout the year, residents can easily report maintenance or housekeeping concerns in the following ways:
In urgent situations such as an inoperative elevator, toilet running over, power outage, an extremely hot or cold room, call the Work Control Center immediately. In addition, notify your community office of the urgent situation so that we may assist you.
All beds will be raised to the maximum height prior to move-in. If you would like to have your bed lowered, put in a work order online to have maintenance staff assist you. Only maintenance staff are allowed to alter bed heights. Only twin XL beds can be adjusted. Requests to have your bed lowered prior to move-in must be received no later than August 4.
