SPRING MOVE-IN
Move-in will take place between Jan. 6-10 and you will be required to sign up for a move-in appointment, even if you already moved into your room in the fall semester and you will be limited to one guest in the building at a time during move-in.

You will also be expected to complete an at-home COVID-19 test 4 days prior to your arrival on campus.

START CONNECTING WITH BGSU

You can learn a lot about life on campus when you follow us on social media. On our Facebook page, you will get important housing updates throughout the year about the housing selection process and important information you will need when you live on campus. Students and families also find our private Facebook groups to be very valuable. We only have a handful of University administrators in these groups to help answer questions – but for the most part, these groups are ran by their members.

We also invite you to follow us on Instagram where you can find room photos and more!

The 2020 Fall Semester looks and feels differently, and we want everyone to have a realistic expectation. Please review our COVID-19 Housing Information to find our housing policies and answers to questions.
