Yes. Fall 2026 move-in uses a detailed building-and-floor schedule beginning August 18, 2026, with specific time blocks.
When exactly can my student move in, and do they need an appointment?
CSUMB publishes a Fall 2026 Otter Move-In schedule by residence hall, floor and time. Students should use the current MyHousing assignment and the official move-in guide to arrive in their designated window.
What should we bring, and what should roommates coordinate before move-in?
CSUMB's move-in page lists included furniture and a detailed prohibited-items list. It also tells residents to coordinate with roommates before bringing shared items and provides separate packing guides for Residence Halls, North Quad/Promontory and East Campus.
What happens at move-out, and what do we do with belongings?
CSUMB's checkout page provides step-by-step move-out instructions, and the housing management page directs residents to that process. Students should use the current semester deadline for their housing area and complete all required checkout actions to avoid extra fees.
