Move‑in Day

Complete the Before You Arrive module

The Before You Arrive online module is an important part of getting ready to move into residence. You'll find information about what to expect in residence, what to bring and to schedule a move-in appointment. Look for an email from the Dal Residence office with a link to your Before You Arrive module.

We look forward to meeting you

The residence complex on the Agricultural Campus is located on Horseshoe Cres., directly off of College Road. (View our campus map and building directory.)

  1. Drive into Horseshoe Crescent at your scheduled move-in time.  Follow signage.  There will be volunteers to help guide you.
  2. Go directly to the residence building you’ve been assigned to at your scheduled move in time.  Please show up at your scheduled move in time.  Please bring your move-in helpers.
