Fall 2026 Move-In

Check out What to Bring for a packing list with what you should (and shouldn't) bring with you to campus!

If you do not have a USFCard, you'll need to submit a request for one. A USF ID is required to gain access to your room. Your card will not work until activated, so remember to activate your card before arriving on campus. Residents will also be able to pick up their USFCard at check-in on Grand Opening Day.

Submit an online maintenance request for your preferred bed height before you arrive on campus. Keep in mind that lofting assistance may take longer after residents have moved in. Please do not attempt to adjust your bed height on your own! Adjusting the bed on your own can cause damage to the bed and/or potentially harm yourself.

It's Florida & it will be hot! Bring water to stay hydrated, as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats to protect yourself from the sun.

Courtesy carts will be available for check-out during Grand Opening, but we encourage residents and families to bring their own carts or hand trucks to assist in the move-in process!

Log in to the Housing Portal, select "St. Petersburg Campus" under the Requests section, then "Assignment Summary" then “Continue” for the Fall 2026-Spring 2027 Term Selector. This is where you can view your assignment and your roommates. If you don't have an assignment, contact us for assistance. 

Communicate and coordinate what you will bring to campus. Things like printers, microwaves, refrigerators, and TVs can be shared! 

Please review your student housing agreement regarding loss liability. Look into your homeowner's/renter's insurance to see if it covers your belongings on campus. If not, purchase additional insurance through your company or check out these specialized options.
