Fall Move In

Check out What to Bring for a packing list with what you should (and shouldn't) bring with you to campus!

If you do not have a USFCard, you'll need to submit a request for one. A USF ID is required to gain access to Atala Hall and your room. Your card will not work until activated, so remember to activate your card before arriving on campus. Residents will also be able to pick up their USFCard at check-in on Grand Opening Day.

It's Florida & it will be hot! Bring water to stay hydrated, as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats to protect yourself from the sun.

Approximately 20 courtesy carts will be available during Grand Opening, so we encourage residents and families to bring their own carts or hand trucks to assist in the move-in process!

Log in to the Housing Portal, select "Tampa/Sarasota Requests," then "Assignment Summary" then “Continue” for the Fall 2025-Spring 2026 Term Selector. This is where you can view your assignment and your roommates. If you don't have an assignment, contact us for assistance. 

Communicate and coordinate what you will bring to campus. Things like printers, microwaves, refrigerators, and TVs can be shared! 

Please review your student housing agreement regarding loss liability. Look into your homeowner's/renter's insurance to see if it covers your belongings on campus. If not, purchase additional insurance through your company or check out these specialized options.
