Move-In Guide : Housing & Residence Life : IUPUI

Move-In Guide

We look forward to your arrival to campus. Moving in to campus housing is an exciting time, but it can also be a little hectic. Below you will find a variety of information that will assist in the ease of your first day here at IUPUI!

Summer 2013 Move-In Information

Check in is available only during specific times for summer move in. Check in times and location details will be included with your summer housing contract packet. You may pick up your keys during your check in time. You are not required to move all of your belongings in during this time period.

Fall 2013 Move-In Details

Ball Residence Hall, University Tower, Townhomes, Park Place, and IUPUI Riverwalk Apartments

Saturday, August 17, 2013

Due to construction and limited unloading space, students will be assigned specific arrival and unloading times. Students will receive move in invitations with details about their assigned check in time and starting location. The invitations will be sent out the first week in August.

Roommate Information

The relationships you establish at IUPUI can help you make the most of your university residential experience. Included will be your roommate's name and email address, if available. The Office of Housing and Residence Life encourages all residents that have been assigned to multiple resident units (2BR/4BR/Double Room/Triple Room) to contact their assigned roommates prior to move in.

Residents will receive roommate information with their move in invitation between the last week in July and first week in August.

Packing List and Tips

You don't need to bring everything with you the day you move in. Most students typically bring much more than they will need and there is no storage space outside of your room/apartment. To make packing easier, check out the Packing List link and the list of items that are already in your room below.

Please keep in mind that there are no elevators in the Campus Apartments, therefore it is better to pack a number of smaller boxes that can be carried by one person.

*University Tower packing list information will be added in late June

Parking Permits

The parking lots near and around the residence hall and apartments are designated as CH lots (Campus Housing) or PP lots (Park Place). Only residents that have signed housing contracts will be eligible to purchase the permit respective to their assigned facility. Students living in campus housing are only eligible for their respective parking permit. Parking permits must be displayed if a vehicle is parked on campus at all times.

A CH (Campus Housing) and PP (Park Place) permit allows you the convenience of parking close to your hall or apartment; however it does not allow you to park in non CH or PP spaces until after 4pm and before 7:00 am weekdays; anytime on weekends and university holidays. For your convenience, Parking Services provides weekday, on campus shuttle service from 6:20 am – 9:40 pm, every 20 minutes between all facilities and the Campus Center.

Housing Payments

Your housing charges are billed in full on a semester basis. You will receive your bill directly from the Bursar's Office and you are responsible for making timely payments according to the Bursar due dates with your housing charges paid in full prior to the mid-term exam period. Failure to pay in accordance with Bursar due dates may result in penalties and/or actions as defined by the Bursar. Bursar information is available online at http://osas.iupui.edu.

The following payments options are available to residents:

On-line by logging into your OneStart account and selecting QuikPAY
By mail to the Office of the Bursar, P.O. Box 6020, Indianapolis, Indiana 46202-6020
In person via drop box at the Campus Center, Suite 250

Checks must be made payable to IUPUI. Payments are applied to the oldest debt first, therefore it is recommended that you ensure that your Bursar account is kept current at all times.

Renters Insurance

The University and the Office of Housing and Residence Life assumes no responsibility for theft, loss or damage of personal belongings in or on residence hall/apartment/townhome property. This policy extends to resident rooms, resident apartments, auto and bicycle parking areas as well as all other living unit areas. Residents are strongly encouraged to obtain insurance to cover personal property.

Immunizations

Beginning with the Fall 2007 semester, all students living on campus must provide proof of immunity or vaccination to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and tetanus/diphtheria. Several methods of complying with the new policy are available. IUPUI Housing and Residence Life includes a health history immunization form with the student's housing contract offer. The student is required to complete this form and return it with required supporting documentation.

As of February 2005, the Centers for Disease Control recommend that all college freshmen, especially those freshmen living in dormitories receive meningococcal vaccine. IUPUI supports this recommendation but does not require meningococcal vaccine for registration.
