IU Bloomington students moved in this weekend, classes start on August 22

BLOOMINGTON – Indiana University Bloomington students began moving into residence halls for the 2022-23 school year, with more than 7,500 students arriving between Sunday, August 14, and Tuesday, August 16.

All students moving into residence halls at IU Bloomington will go through a centralized check-in process at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall 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 by the north entrance of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Students will then use the facility’s north entrance to check-in. All students should bring a photo ID, preferably their IU CrimsonCard, which will be activated on-site for residence hall access.

Families, guests, and visitors should wait for their students outside; no tours are allowed inside the south lobby of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Check-in will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on August 15th and 16th.

Once students have completed centralized check-in, they 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.
