Move-In Information

New Student Move-in 

Welcome!  

We were excited to welcome all new students for the 2023-2024 academic year to campus on August 26th & 27th 2023 and we are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Please visit back during summer 2024 for updates about new student move-in for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Campus Safety, Orientation staff, and Housing and Residence Life staff will direct you as you arrive.

  • Students can retrieve their ID cards inside the building and volunteers will start to unload your vehicle.
  • The driver must stay in the vehicle. Once fully unloaded, the driver will be directed to a parking lot.

Residence Hall Street Addresses:

  • Loughran Hall - 1406 University Avenue, Dunmore, PA 18509

Things to Remember:

In general, lofting or bunking beds will not be permitted. University personnel will not adjust bed heights during check-in or throughout the school year.

Please make sure that you bring a wastebasket and shower curtain with you, as the University does not provide these items. 

We strongly advise reviewing the "What to Bring" and "What NOT to Bring" lists available on the Marywood University Housing & Residence Life website as well as the Resident Manual.

  • Students receive a Fall Housing Confirmation email in mid-August, detailing check-in dates, times, and locations.
  • On arrival, students will be assisted by Orientation Leaders and Residence Life Staff members who will be able to answer any questions as well as guide students and guests to their destination.

      All residential students are required to submit a completed Health History, Physical, and Immunization Record to the Student Health Services Office. This form includes the requirement for proof of Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccination.

      In June 2002, a law was signed by the governor, which requires vaccination against meningococcal meningitis for all students living in University housing or in other University-owned housing throughout Pennsylvania. The University must have records indicating that every resident student has been vaccinated (or signed an informed consent waiver form), in order for students to live in University Housing. Students may choose to be exempted from the law, only if the student (or parent/legal guardian, if the student is under eighteen years of age), after having been advised of the risk of the disease and the availability and effectiveness of the vaccine, signs a waiver form stating that s/he reviewed the information and has chosen not to be vaccinated against the disease.

      Please use The Student Health Portal for all other needs.
