We’re ready to welcome you to your new home away from home! View your housing assignment, which includes your building, room and floor number, and roommate assignment(s), if applicable. Prepare for your arrival by familiarizing yourself with your accommodation’s amenities or by taking a virtual tour.
Pack for Pitt effectively and efficiently by only bringing the essentials. We have curated a helpful move-in check list to make your moving experience easier! As a reminder, you can purchase last-minute or forgotten items at one of our four University Stores.
The University of Pittsburgh’s #Ship2Pitt Program is partnering with UPS to elevate the student move-in experience, while enhancing social distancing efforts. #Ship2Pitt provides on-campus students pre-paid UPS Ground shipping service. Each student will receive 5 pre-paid shipping labels, and deliveries will be conveniently routed through our warehouse for a security scan before they are sent directly to your residence hall room prior to your scheduled move-in.
We have scheduled Pitt Arrival throughout August to ensure an orderly and safe move-in experience for all Pitt students, faculty, staff, and families. View your move-in date and time.
Connect with your building’s Resident Assistant to learn more about getting involved on-campus and what to expect as an incoming first-year student.
All students who live in an on-campus accommodation are required to abide by the University of Pittsburgh’s Student Code of Conduct and Residential Handbook.
Not all residence halls are equipped with a minifridge (check your building amenities to see if yours does). Make move-in easy and rent a Microfridge for $219.99 for the academic year. Rented Microfridges will be installed prior to your move-in and will be removed from your accommodation after your departure. Visit mymicrofridge.com or call 1.800.525.7307 for more information.
Pitt Arrival Parking Pass coming soon!
During arrival, you will place a parking pass on your dashboard as you approach Oakland so that our volunteers can easily identify you and your family as a new arrival and direct you to the most convenient unloading area.
You and your family will be able to park your vehicle in a designated unloading area for one hour. After this hour has passed, you will be asked to move your vehicle into long-term parking to ensure that the Arrival process is safe and efficient for all.
