Move-in Day FAQs
- What should I pack or prepare in advance for move-in day?
Students and families should prepare to bring the following items to protect themselves and others. It is very hot and humid in August in South Texas. Be careful of heat exhaustion.
- Masks (optional)
- Water bottles (bring extras!)
- Hand sanitizer
- Sunscreen
- Hat/cooling towel or sweat bands
- A great attitude!
- What if we have multiple cars with us?
If you are bringing multiple loaded vehicles, follow the move-in instructions provided and the route to the residence hall for unloading. If one of your vehicles is empty, park in either Alamo Stadium Lot (east residence halls) before unloading at the residence hall to limit traffic and overflow of designated loading spots. TUPD will assist in directions to the Alamo Stadium parking lot.
- Will there be volunteers to help or answer questions?
There will be Trinity staff and faculty volunteers stationed at each residence hall to assist in answering your questions, showing you to your residence hall, and greeting you with a warm welcome. These volunteers will be in fun maroon shirts - you can’t miss them!
