Fall semester move-in

Mean Green Move-In Weekend is the annual event that marks the opening of the residence halls for the fall semester. The residence halls open for the fall semester at 8 AM on the Saturday nine days prior to the first day of classes.

August 15th, 2020 is the start of Mean Green Move-In Weekend for the Fall 2020 semester.

In order to provide ease of access and reduce traffic congestion, you will receive an email inviting you to arrive at a designated time on either August 15th or 16th. We urge you to plan to arrive at your assigned time.

For Mean Green Move-In Weekend, the UNT campus community comes together to provide volunteer assistance to residents and their families as they make the transition to living on campus. Student organizations, staff, faculty, administrators and members of the Denton Community are on hand to help facilitate a speedy move-in to all of the residence halls.

Spring semester move-in

Housing welcomes residents back from the winter break at 2 PM on the Wednesday prior to the first day of classes.
