Your move-in appointment time was emailed to you in December and can be found in the tables above. Please arrive during your appointment time to help us maintain a safe and efficient move-in experience for everyone. Please note that the appointment time is only meant to indicate when you should arrive to campus for check-in. You are not expected to complete your entire move-in process during only your appointment time, but you are encouraged to be as efficient as possible during the move-in process to limit your time in the building.
Enter campus at Merrick Street. This will be the only entrance available. 5699 Merrick Street Once you arrive on campus, follow signs to the temporary parking area outside the Watsco Center Fieldhouse.
Coral Gables, FL 33146
From the temporary parking lot, enter the Watsco Center Fieldhouse for our centralized check-in process.

If you are participating in 'Cane Kickoff, you will be required to take a COVID-19 test while at centralized check-in at the Watsco Center Fieldhouse. If you are not participating in 'Cane Kickoff (because you are a returning student who attended classes remotely in Fall 2020), you will take your COVID-19 test at the Pavia Garage testing site upon your arrival. All residents should minimize contact with others until you receive a negative test result. The Spring 2021 testing plan is available on the University's COVID-19 website, and more specific instructions regarding scheduling your weekly on-campus test will be emailed to you soon.
If you arrive after 5 p.m when the centralized check-in area is closed, you should proceed directly to the front desk of your residential area to check in there. You will receive a temporary access card and will receive instructions on getting your permanent 'Cane Card. All students must test for COVID-19 upon their arrival to campus (whether within the centralized check-in area or at Pavia garage, as outlined above). If the testing site is closed when you arrive, you must test the very next day. You should minimize your contact with others until you receive a negative test result.
Please consult the Guide to Living on Campus as well as HRL's complete Policies and Procedures to learn more about what items students should and should not bring into the University's residential facilities.
