Visit our Lofting Furniture page for instructions on building loft furniture.

The elevators will be unlocked during move-in day but will be secured before and after move-in. Each elevator is equipped with an access reader just like the exterior doors of our buildings and will require your FLASHcard to authorize access. Once authorized, you will be able to push the button for the floor you select.

All furniture provided in your room must remain in the room. Due to storage limitations, we’re unable to remove or store furniture. If you need adjustments for an approved ADA accommodation, please contact Student Accessibility Services before your arrival to arrange any necessary changes.

Carts will be available at your hall’s check-in location on move-in day. Supplies are limited and wait times may occur, so we encourage you to bring your own cart or dolly, if possible, for faster and easier unloading.

Students may use the restrooms on their floor or in their room. Guest restrooms are available in some buildings, usually on the first floor. If you’re unsure where the nearest restroom is for guests, just ask the staff at check-in – they'll be happy to direct you.

Email housing@kent.edu with your request. 

If you’d like to switch rooms before move-in, a room trade process is available during the last full week in July. Availability depends on other students who are also looking to trade rooms. To participate in room trade, simply log into the Housing Portal. After the semester begins, the campus wide room change process opens following the third week of the fall semester.
