Move-In Fall 2025

We are excited to welcome students for Fall 2025! 

Move-In for on-campus is scheduled Wednesday, September 17 - Saturday, September 20, 2025. Your assigned move-in date and time is now available to view via the Housing portal. 

Arrival, Unloading and Parking
All students were assigned an unloading zone- you can view your unloading zone via the move-in information on your housing portal. When you arrive to campus, you'll be directed via signs and staff to your designated unloading zone. There will be lots of excited True Bruin Ambassadors to help you unload and get belongings up to your room. There will also be satellite check-in stations you will be directed to get your BruinCard encoded for your room.

Once you have unloaded, you will be directed to long term parking. You will have 3 hours of free long term parking. If you need to keep your vehicle parked for longer than 3 hours, please move it to one of the pay-by-spaces available within the lot.

Taking a ride-share to campus? No problem-just make sure you know which unloading zone you’re heading to. 

For unloading zones at DD and Lot 11:
Please enter the UCLA Campus at the intersection of Gayley Avenue/Strathmore Place. The entrance at Sunset Boulevard/Bellagio Place will be closed. An online map showing residence halls, parking facilities, and walking paths is available at map.ucla.edu.

For unloading zones in SV and Lot 7:
Please enter the UCLA Campus at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard/Westwood Plaza. The entrance at Sunset Boulevard/Bellagio Place will be closed. An online map showing residence halls, parking facilities, and walking paths is available at map.ucla.edu.
