2026 MVNU2MSU August 12th – August 15th
As we prepare to welcome thousands of new Bulldogs to campus, we want to make you aware that student move-in will take place the week of August 10, with the most impact to normal campus operations being Wednesday, August 12 thru Saturday, August 15 . Over these four days approximately 5,000 students, along with their families, will be arriving.
Please anticipate and plan for significant short-term disruptions to normal parking availability, increased congestion on campus roadways, and road closures, particularly near residence halls and designated move-in routes. Humphrey Coliseum and the Animal & Dairy Science/Poultry Science complex will serve as central check-in locations. Additional signage and personnel will be in place to help manage traffic and guide families to unloading areas. However, delays and detours will be widespread beginning Wednesday as early as 6 a.m. and continue throughout the remainder of the week.
We encourage all employees to help foster the warm, welcoming, and positive environment that we at MSU are known for. A smile, a friendly greeting, or simply offering directions can go a long way in creating a strong first impression for new Bulldog families and set the tone for a successful transition to college life for our incoming students.
