Are you ready for life on Rocky Top? Campus will be bustling next week with students arriving for the fall semester. Many students will be moving into their residence halls throughout the week for activities like Ignite and sorority recruitment. Move-in day for most first-year students is Saturday, August 13.
For detailed information on specific move-in times for each residence hall, download the “UT Housing Move-In Day: 2016 Key to Tennessee” move-in guide within the New Vols app. The guide includes a schedule of move-in dates and times, “to-do” and “what to bring” lists, and loft and carpet purchase information
