College Hill Suites Hall Move-In

Primary Move-In Shifts:

  • Friday, August 16, 9 am – 12 pm, Floors 1, 3 and 5
  • Friday, August 16, 12 pm – 4 pm, Floors 2 and 4

Note: College Hill Suites residents may NOT participate in our Drop-Off Option. We are NOT able to accommodate any early arrivals during the Primary Move-In period. PLEASE STICK TO YOUR ASSIGNED MOVE-IN DATE AND TIME.

Main Check-In @ Minges Coliseum “Hall of Fame”– based on hall/floor schedule (note times) above.  These Move-In windows help us maximize parking availability, elevator use (if applicable) and volunteer placement.

At Minges Coliseum- Students will get their key and are given a vehicle Move-In pass for each vehicle they have. Then, vehicles will move to their residence hall Move-In queue, located in front of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.  Queued vehicles will be sent to your Move-In area near your residence hall when parking spaces are open. Please do not go directly to your hall without lining up your vehicles for a brief wait. As soon as you unload your vehicles, you will move them to the remote parking areas.  There are directions on the back of your move-in pass. Please label all your boxes/items clearly, use boxes or containers whenever possible, and be aware that passenger use of elevators during these times may be limited.

NOTE: This is the primary schedule. Students enrolled in Living Learning Communities and other programs which require early move-in should follow the instructions and schedule they receive via email from their program.

We know you are excited to be setting up your new college home! 

Start by reviewing our What to Bring/What Not to Bring page.

College Hill Suites is set up as a bedroom one bathroom and two beds/students, with a living room connecting to another bedroom (with two other students in most cases.) There is a full size refrigerator, storage, and microwave in a kitchenette setup. 

Remember we provide the following, and the items need to stay in the room:

  • Microwave and refridgerator
  • Central Air conditioning/ Heat
  • Desk w/drawers, chairs, and dressers
  • Closet space/wardrobe
  • Bunkable twin extra-long beds that can also be Lofted as an option (Loft Company: https://www.collegeproducts.com/store/ecu/ )
  • If you are assigned a single room that is normally a double room, we do not remove furniture

Label your boxes, bins and large items with your name, Banner ID, and room assignment- just in case you get separated from your items during the move-in process.

Outlets may be limited so we recommend power strips with a switch/fuse.  You can also choose to bring a surge protector for computers and electronics, except in Ballard, Scott, Clement, White, and Greene Halls, where surge protectors can interfere with built in surge protection in the hall.

We recommend Command Strips only on concrete or cinder block walls due to past wall damage.  On drywall walls we recommend small tacks or removable poster tape for hanging items on the wall.  Beyond a few small holes in walls, students will be responsible for wall damage at the end of the year. Most CHS walls are drywall, with outside walls being cinder block.

Tips:

  • Coordinate with your new roommate. No need to bring two of everything.
  • We will have some Move-In carts and dollies available during Move-In, but you don’t have to look for one if you bring your own for the day.
  • When in doubt leave it at home! Your family can always bring it to campus when they visit.
  • Remember to make sure there is room for YOU in your room!
