Just like you, we are eagerly preparing for your arrival to
campus. Your Being Here guide is now available, containing all of the information you
will need to know about moving to UD. We suggest browsing through these pages a few times before
you come to campus, then bringing the guide with you as a handy
reference when Move-In Day arrives. Contact information for any questions you may have is also provided in the booklet.
To access the Being Here guide, please click the image to the right.
Some useful links and information are also provided below. Please read this information carefully, so you will be well-prepared for your move to UD.
Information for New Students:
- Before moving in, make sure you have all the residence hall essentials you need. Consider refrigerators/microwaves, carpets, linens, and bed lofts, which can all be rented or purchased through the University of Delaware's affiliates. If ordered by certain deadlines -- typically around mid-August -- these items may even be delivered to your complex or room on Move-In Day.
- The Student Housing Agreement binding date was June 1. All students with active applications are responsible for the full academic year housing charge. Please see the Agreement for more information.
- Look for information in August about how to electronically check into your residence hall. This will reduce the amount of time required for check-in once you arrive on campus.
- Please familiarize yourself with all guidelines regarding the hanging of decorations on residence hall room walls and the list of prohibited items.
- Share your new address with family and friends! See page 9/10 of Being Here for the correct mail delivery format.
- All freshman students are required to have a meal plan. Students have been assigned the "10 Weekly" option by default, but are free to select another plan through the Dining Services website. To view all meal plan options, turn to page 10/11 of your Being Here, or click here.
- Get ready for school at the University Bookstore. Get educational pricing from JourneyEd and reserve your textbooks for the Fall Semester using the Textbook Reservation section of the UD Bookstore's website.
