The Department of Housing and Residence Life (DHRL) offers a “Move-in Volunteer” program for the Fall move-in period. This program aims to provide assistance to students, families, and guests by helping with unloading and transporting belongings to their assigned Fall accommodations. The Move-In Volunteer program consists of a group of students, community members, and a third-party vendor. The number of volunteers depends on the number of sign-ups each year and the volume of arriving students.
All individuals affiliated with the University of Central Florida (UCF), including students, faculty, staff, and alumni are eligible to participate as Move-In Volunteers. UCF faculty, staff, and students can conveniently enroll in the course by following this link to the Webcourse. Faculty and staff who intend to volunteer during business hours must obtain prior approval from their supervisors.
All non-UCF volunteers will not have access to the university Webcourse system. However, we have alternative steps for you to follow:
Here are the instructions for the Volunteer Shift Selection Form:
Move-In Volunteers who are also living on campus and meet all the requirements associated with the role may be eligible for an early move-in fee waiver. It is mandatory for all Move-In Volunteers to sign a UCF risk management volunteer form.
For further details and important information, please refer to the Webcourse. You can access the Webcourse by clicking here.
All Student Move-In Volunteers (MVPs) will be assigned to 4 hour shifts during the following time slots:
MVPs will be scheduled for an early move-in appointment on either August 11th or August 12th. To participate, MVPs must complete the UCF risk management waiver and sign up for shifts via the sign-up genius platform accessible through the MVP Webcourse. It is important to note that MVPs who do not complete the required four shifts will not be eligible for any early move-in fee waiver. Those interested in serving as MVPs for Fall 2023 must complete the Webcourse, and sign up for shifts by August 7, 2023, 11:59 p.m.
If you have already scheduled your move-in appointment for August 19-22, and now wish to change to early move-in in order to participate as a Move-In Volunteer, you may do so in the Housing Portal:
Should any student, staff, or faculty member who wishes to serve as a Move-In Volunteer need an accessibility accommodation, please share your need on the interest form or contact hrlmoveinvolunteers@ucf.edu and we’ll be glad to assist you.
