BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University Bloomington students are moving into residence halls this weekend for the 2021-22 school year, with nearly 4,000 students arriving Sunday, Aug. 15. IUPUI students will begin moving into residence halls Aug. 21, and classes on both campuses will start Aug. 23.
IU Bloomington
Move-in at IU Bloomington will begin Aug. 15 and extends throughout next week. All students moving into residence halls at IU Bloomington will go through a centralized check-in process at Memorial Stadium when they arrive on campus.
These students will enter check-in from the State Road 45/46 Bypass at Gate 11, Purple Lot, and park in the Green Lot. Students will then complete their COVID-19 check and housing check-in in the North Lobby of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. This site will be open to students on their scheduled move-in day between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Once they have completed centralized check-in, students will proceed to their residence halls. Individual parking and move-in instructions for each residence hall are available on the Residential Programs and Services website.
Masks are required indoors for all visitors and students.
Those traveling to campus from the north should allow for extra travel time for I-69 detour delays. Travelers should check the Indiana Department of Transportation website before heading to Bloomington. IU Police Department officers will be stationed at several intersections around campus, and signs will redirect traffic.
IU President Pamela Whitten and Interim Provost John Applegate will be greeting students at centralized check-in the morning of Aug. 16 and will then visit students at residence halls across campus.
