New students to Ouachita may begin moving into their residence halls on Saturday, August 18.  Hall Directors, Resident Assistants, and WOW Leaders will greet you at your new home-away-from-home to help you check-in and assist you as you move in your belongings.

The residence halls will open for move-in at 8:00am. You will not be able to move-in before that time.

We strongly encourage parents and students to check-in at the student’s residence hall lobby between 8:00am and noon.  Arriving earlier in the day will allow you the most time to get things settled in your room.

Move-In Day Tips:

• Pack as much of your stuff as you can into boxes, baskets, or shelves/drawers that can be taped or sealed shut
• Write your room number and residence hall initials (Frances-Crawford West = FCW) on all of your belongings
• If you are bringing carpet, pack it in your car last so that it can be unpacked and taken in first
• The student will need to check-in and get his or her key before anything can be taken into the room
• Visit the Campus Housing website for more information about residence life at Ouachita
• Click here for suggestions on what to bring with you to campus

The Ouachita Bookstore will be open from 12-3pm on Saturday.  The bookstore is located on the lower level of Evans Student Center and can assist students with room supplies, textbooks, Ouachita merchandise, and lots more.
