Monthly On-Campus Update
Back-to-School Edition

Before You Move In
The residence halls officially open for occupancy at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 19. For a variety of reasons, some students need to be on campus before this date. Housing and Dining Services will allow you to move in to your permanent assignments any time after 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 13, for an additional per-day fee of $40. When you arrive, simply check in at your hall's front desk. Contracts for students who arrive early begin at time of check-in.

Also, please don't ship any items prior to an Aug. 13 arrival. Addresses for each residence hall can be found on the HDS website.

Move-In Day: Where to Go
We have created a plan for the two busiest move-in days in conjunction with campus police to make traffic flow efficiently.  
 
On Sunday, Aug. 13, and Saturday, Aug. 19, please follow these directions to ensure the process goes as quickly and smoothly as possible. We appreciate your patience and look forward to assisting you and your family with your transition to Kansas State University. We are mailing a move-in parking permit and map to all domestic students for the following residence halls. Please bring this with you on move-in day and place it on your dash to help our traffic and parking crew assist you.  
Map to Your Destination (PDF):  
When you arrive, you must check in at your front desk before proceeding to your room. A staff member will provide you with directions from there.

You can reduce move-in stress by avoiding those two days, or by moving in after 7 p.m. from Aug. 13 through 18. If you choose to move in after 7 p.m., the $40 early arrival fee for that day will be waived.

All students can begin using the academic year meal plan selected on their contract on Saturday, Aug. 19. Meals for early occupancy students will be served at Kramer Dining Center beginning with breakfast on Monday, Aug. 14. Learn more about dining on campus.

Our Resource Guide for Families (PDF) has additional information about living on campus, including important dates, services and policies.
Living Community at Jardine
The Living Community at Jardine also officially opens for occupancy at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 19. The same early occupancy rules apply to you as well: For an additional per-day fee of $40, you may move in to your permanent assignments anytime after 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 13. No special arrangement or prior approval is needed. Simply report to the Jardine Tower and check in.

Smurthwaite Leadership & Scholarship House
Smurthwaite residents will hear directly from Smurthwaite staff regarding move-in instructions.

K-State Association of  
Residence Halls Recommends  

MyCollegeFridge.com offers K-State students  
the option to rent multipliance units. These units include a full refrigerator, freezer and  
microwave, but only use one outlet. (Wefald Hall rooms already contain microwaves, so refrigerator/freezer combinations are available too.) They're of the highest quality to date and are more energy efficient than ever.
 
Now is the time to place your order
for the upcoming year. Visit their website 
and place your order by Aug. 6 to guarantee availability and arrange for in-room delivery.
