Move‑in Day

Complete the Before You Arrive module

The Before You Arrive online module is an important part of getting ready to move into residence. You'll find information about what to expect in residence, what to bring and to schedule a move-in appointment. Look for an email from the Dal Residence office with a link to your Before You Arrive module.

Learn about the procedure for moving in to your residence

One of the most exciting parts of arriving at Dal is moving into your residence. For many of you, this will be the first time you'll be seeing your new living space.
