Moving In

Get ready to pack up and move in

Moving in to residence is an exciting and busy time. Try not to worry and enjoy the experience. Make your residence move-in even easier by taking care of some things before you arrive.

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.

Only bring the things you'll need

Each residence room comes with standard furniture. Find out what is included, and what you should bring.

Have your textbooks and dorm essentials waiting for you

Save time. Avoid the lines. And lighten your load! These are just some of the many benefits of our popular Books in Res program, offered through the Dal Bookstore. It's easy. Just order your textbooks and dorm essentials during the ordering period, and request to have them delivered to your residence at check-out. Learn more about Books in Res.
