Emory University: When exactly can my student move in, and do they need an appointment?
DIRECT ANSWER
For Fall 2026, first-year and transfer students not in pre-orientation were scheduled to move in August 22; returning residents were scheduled for August 23. Students use MyHousing for their assigned move-in time.
Emory’s Fall 2026 move-in page lists August 22, 2026 for first-year and transfer students who are not participating in a pre-orientation program and August 23 for returning residents. The move-in process uses assigned or selected time information in MyHousing, so families should follow the student’s specific appointment details rather than arrive at an arbitrary time.
Additional guidance reviewed October 17, 2026:
For Fall 2026, Emory instructed students to select a move-in time in MyHousing and follow hall-specific instructions. Those published 2026 dates are historical; verify the applicable incoming term before booking travel.
