When can 12-month residents move in?

12-month residents can move in August 8 through August 20. Residents will receive time slot sign-up information in their VCU email the week of July 17, 2023. To avoid longer lines and traffic, avoid moving in during the 9-Month move-in dates, August 18-19, 2023.

Check-in Tips

  • Check in at the West Grace North main entrance, 830 W. Grace St. Richmond VA, 23220. If you decide to arrive after normal business hours or on a weekend, be prepared to wait for an on-call staff member to check you in. 
  • Bring your VCUCard with you to check in. If you do not have your VCUCard, a state ID is also accepted.
  • You will be issued your room key. 
  • You will not receive a mailbox key, as West Grace North residents pick up their mail and packages from the Residence Hall Central Package Center located at 207 N Laurel Street. 
  • Moving carts are extremely limited; it is a good idea to bring your own dolly, wagon, or cart. 
  • Be sure to follow all Richmond City parking signs and pay for parking as necessary.

 

Parking and Unloading

Residents will receive a parking pass in their VCU email the week of move-in to use in the West Broad Street parking deck. This parking pass should be printed and placed on the dash of a resident's car. It is only valid for your selected move-in day. There will be unloading zones and parking signs around each residence hall. Residents are asked to unload their items at the curb and then immediately move their vehicle to the designated parking deck. Click here to view or print the Monroe Park Campus Parking Facility Map [PDF].
