Move-In
Move2BU 2026 marks the beginning of your Baylor journey, and your new Baylor family wants to welcome you as you arrive. All new students will be assigned a Move2BU timeslot and route in late July. Your MyHousing portal will show your assigned time and move-in route.
If you are a new student moving into a Living-Learning Community or Residential College, your Move2BU time will be on Wednesday, August 19, between 8 am and noon.
If you are a new student moving into a First-Year Community or University Parks, your Move2BU time will be on Thursday, August 20, between 8 am and noon.
Students, faculty, staff, and volunteers from the Baylor community will greet you at your assigned drop-off location and ensure your belongings are unloaded and delivered to your room while you go through the check-in process. Students and staff will be available throughout the day to answer any questions you have and make sure you are settling into your new home. (Note - University Parks is an unassisted move-in.)

Step 2: Use GPS to navigate to your route's starting point, avoiding campus roads.
