Move-In Information Fall 2023
Each semester, we welcome our new students to campus and celebrate the return of students who've been away. Move-In at Geneseo is a busy and fun time!
Below we have provided a summary of the essential information for students settling in (or back in) to campus.
COVID-19 Safety Protocols
- All students must be compliant with Health & Counseling vaccination requirements, which can be found in your MyHealth Portal; If you are not compliant, you will not be permitted to move into your residence hall.
- Symptomatic Residents and Guests: If you are feeling unwell or have COVID-19 related symptoms, please stay home until you are well. Although not required, it is recommended that you get tested before you travel to SUNY Geneseo.
- Students are welcome to mask in our residence halls, but not required.

Our Move-In Recommendations
- Know your COVID-19 Status: Knowing your COVID-19 status will aid you in the move-in process. We strongly recommend that you get tested for COVID-19 prior to your arrival to Geneseo for your peace of mind.
- Arrive Early: Arriving 10 minutes early will make up for the wait time required to receive your results.
- Arrive Prior to 2:00 p.m.: Please make every effort to arrive at check-in prior to closing at 2:00 p.m. Call your Area Coordinator or Residence Director to let them know if you are arriving a bit later.
- Print out or have ready a campus map: this will aid in finding the Stadium Lot and the best routes to your residence hall. University Police will be directing traffic at key intersections where you can ask for directions.
- Print out the Campus Move In Map (fall only): Don’t forget to print and bring your color-coded Move-In Map!
- New Student Checklist: Make sure you've completed everything on the new student checklist.
- Packing: Check out our "what to bring" page. We ask you to carefully consider the amount of personal belongings you bring.
- Parking Permit: Get your parking permit online in advance. It will be mailed to your home or campus mailbox.
