Move-In Day Tips!

Getting to Residence


Each residence building is assigned a colour zone and coded map. Follow the driving directions for your zone on the map, as Google Maps or other GPS systems will not account for day-of street closures and re-routes.

Zone Cards


Print your student's zone card (in colour if possible) and put it on your front windshield so volunteers can easily direct you!

Stop, Drop, Park 


When you arrive at your student's residence building, we will be using a stop, drop, and park model:

  • Pull up in front of the building.A driver must stay with your vehicle at all times. 
  • Unload your student's belongings.
  • Move your vehicle to your designated parking lot while your student starts to move their belongings into their room.
  • Volunteers will be on hand to help!

One Drop-Off


Every student is permitted one Move-In Day drop-off in front of their residence building.

  • Any other purchases and belongings must be brought to the building from your designated parking lot.

One Vehicle


Bring only one car when dropping off your student - there is limited available parking available on Move-In Day.

Student Affairs Information Booths


Visit Student Affairs staff at Leonard Field and in Jean Royce Hall lobby on the big day, snap a special Queen’s photo and get your questions answered.

From one supporter to another


"I moved my daughter into Waldron Tower last year, and I could not be happier with how smooth the process was. The staff and volunteers were all very helpful, making a stressful day easy and exciting for all of us.


A helpful tip for parents moving their students in is that you don't have to have everything they need the day you move in. For my daughter, we spent so long thinking about every single possible thing she could need; in reality, she didn't need much of it. So bring the basics, and figure out the rest once they've settled into their space."
