Every fall, we welcome more than 2,700 undergraduate students into our residential community. Before you arrive at Furman, get prepared for your specific move-in date and contact us if you have any questions.
Moving In
New Student Orientation
Fall Orientation is held before the beginning of the fall semester. This mandatory session offers students a starting point in how to interact with others, how to traverse academics, and in many cases, how to deal with living with someone for the first time.
Move-In Dates
- New Student Move-In: August 20, 2026
- Returning Student Move-In: August 23, 2026
Freshmen students should check-in with the resident assistant of their assigned residence hall when they arrive on campus. Detailed information about parking and the check-in location will be sent students prior to move-in day. Returning students and transfer students will check-in at their Area Offices (Clark Murphy Complex = Judson Hall, South Housing = Blackwell Hall, North Village/Greenbelt = North Village J 100).
All move-in dates and times are released by the university. For more information, please check the university’s homepage.
