NDSU is ready to welcome the newest class of students this fall. Move-in day is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 18 and 19, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Residence halls will be open and ready for students.

On Saturday, more than 100 student volunteers will be waiting throughout the residence halls to greet new students, unload vehicles and carry items into residence hall rooms. Several faculty and staff also will be available throughout campus to welcome students, direct traffic and answer questions.

The Memorial Union will be a hub of activity, as the NDSU Bookstore, Bison Connection and other services will be open and available to assist students.

“Move-in day is one of those special days for NDSU that has always meant a lot to me,” said Michael Harwood, assistant dean of student life. “It represents 2,300 new students moving in to their new home and NDSU faculty and staff welcoming them to NDSU and the Bison family.”
