Summer Move-in & Transfers

SUMMER MOVE-IN 2023

We look forward to welcoming you to campus this Summer! Move-in will take place on Saturday, June 24th via scheduled timeslots. Residents will receive an email with their room details and roommate information a few weeks prior to move-in. For more details, please read below. 

Check-in Location:
Montgomery Lobby
1802 SW 10th Ave
Enter through courtyard door.

Amenities

Electric, water, gas, garbage and high-speed wireless internet are all included.  Units with kitchens or kitchenettes include fridges or mini-fridges.  Sleeper units have mini-fridges and microwaves.  Check out this link for more information about our Summer Housing.

Furnished Rooms

Furnished units come with a bed, desk, desk chair, and dresser for each resident.  Bed sizes vary.  Residents in Montgomery floors 2-4 will have an XL twin bed.  Residents in Blumel, Epler, and Montgomery first floor will have standard twin beds.  Blumel has barstools for the kitchen area. Single units may have additional furniture, which may not be removed.  Use an extra bed as a couch; create an L-shaped desk from two; stack your dressers; it's up to you!

Packages + Mailing Address

Please do not mail your belongings to campus.  We do not have sufficient space at our Montgomery Service Desk to store large packages for students.  If you wish to mail your belongings, there is a UPS store on campus.  Your mailing address, along with your room number, will be sent to you prior to move-in.  Please include your room number on all mail and packages.  Learn more about our Montgomery Service Desk.

Dining

Transfer and continuing students can purchase a meal plan online through the PSU Eats website. Learn more about dining on campus. Meal plans can be used at Victor's Dining Center located in the 1st floor of Ondine.

Elevators

Epler, Blumel, and Montgomery have elevators.  The Epler and Blumel elevators are activated with your PSU ID card.  The elevator in Montgomery is activated by your community key.  Elevator capacity may be limited.  Wait times for elevators may be longer than usual.  Bring a dolly to maximize the number of items you can bring in an elevator trip.  Plan to use the stairs whenever possible.  Wear comfortable shoes.  Bring a water bottle.  

Carts

While a very limited number of carts will be available, there are more students moving in than carts available. We recommend bringing a dolly or hand truck to help with the move-in process and to take the stairs whenever possible.

Residential Parking Permits

If you have decided to bring your car to campus, you may purchase a parking permit from Transportation and Parking Services online.  Be sure to select a residence hall permit.  Most residents will not keep a car on campus and will utilize the MAX, bus, streetcar, or walk and bike.  

Summer Room Transfers

Most current residents who will continue to live on campus for Summer term will move into their new unit on Saturday, June 24th. Residents can remain in their current unit until their room transfer begins. Students do not have to move out at the end of Spring term. Follow the steps below for a smooth room transfer process.

Step 1 - Choose your Check-in Timeslot

Log in to the Housing Portal and select your check-in timeslot. This lets us know what time you will arrive for check-in. You can change your timeslot as needed prior to arrival. 

Step 2 - Check-in & Pick-up Keys

Go to the Montgomery Lobby within your chosen timeslot. Bring your PSU ID.

Step 3 - Check Room Condition

After picking up your keys, you may start moving into your new space. We make every effort to ensure your room is prepared for you. In the case of any damages, please email housing@pdx.edu within 48 hours so we can address the issue and add a record to your file so you are not billed for damages when moving out. 

Step 4 - Transfer Rooms

Move all of your belongings into your new unit. In your old unit, move the furniture to the arrangement when you moved in, with beds on middle rungs (excluding bunked and lofted beds). You may not leave items behind to pick up later or for the next occupant to use. Anything remaining in the room will incur charges for removal. Furniture removal will cost $250 per item. Leave empty recycle bin and compost bin in your room.

Step 5 - Return Old Keys

Return keys for your old unit to the Montgomery Desk on Sunday, June 25th between 1-3pm. You may opt for a Walk-Through during these hours when an RA will check the room for damages and cleaning needs while you are present. This is a good option if there are damages in the unit or if you have a roommate. You must have your belongings out of the room before a walk-through can be completed.

If you are unable to return your keys during the hours listed above, you may complete an Express Check-out and return keys to the Montgomery Desk or after hours in one of our Express Check-Out drop boxes (outside Montgomery Court or the Housing Office in Broadway 210). If you opt for an Express Check-out, staff will complete a walk-through of your room after you have moved out, and you will be unable to appeal any charge for damages or cleaning beyond normal wear and tear.
