New residents will be required to schedule a move in time before arriving on campus. These appointments will allow for social distancing during move in. 

You will select from 1 hour time slots during move in hours.

You can arrive anytime during your scheduled time slot and you will then have 3 hours to complete move in.

To select (or cancel/change) an appointment:

1. Log into the Campus Living Housing Portal
2. Select “Move in and Break Housing Requests” from the main menu bar
   
3. Follow instructions for making a move in appointment
4. Select one timeslot from those available. Appointment timeslots are limited and available on a first come/first serve basis, so you may not get your first choice. If your preferred appointment is not available and you are unable to modify your plans, please select an appointment closest to your arrival time on your expected return/move-in date and we will do our best to accommodate you.
5. You will receive an email confirming your request, cancellation or change.

• All mail & packages sent prior to your arrival on campus should be picked up as a part of your check in process during your assigned 3 hour move in window.

Each residential area on-campus has its own mail & package area.  Students are provided a mailbox for flat letters; students will be notified via their ‘buffalo.edu’ email with details of where to retrieve packages. 

All campus mail is first delivered to our central mail service center, located on North Campus.  From there it is processed and sent to our individual residential areas for delivery.  All packages are ready for pick up within 2 business days of arriving on campus. 

Per SUNY guidelines, all students must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend in-person classes and to live in on-campus residence halls and apartments. 

All students living on campus are required to submit their proof of vaccination (or submit a request for a medical or religious exemption) to the UB Health Services Portal. 

If you have been granted a medical or religious exemption to the vaccine requirement you are required to participate in mandatory COVID-19 surveillance testing once a week throughout the semester. If, for any reason, you miss a week of testing, you will receive both an email and a phone call communicating that you are in violation of university policy.

Missing any two weeks of testing throughout the semester will result in immediate resignation from courses and removal from on-campus housing.

Clement Hall on our South Campus and a portion of our Flickinger Court Apartments have been set aside as dedicated quarantine space reserved for the needs of on-campus residents during the 2021-2022 year.

Our dedicated staff are ready to help with everything that you may need including transportation to your quarantine assignment, testing, meals, and anything else that will make your stay in quarantine the best experience possible.
