KEEP THE MOVE-IN GUIDE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS ON MOVE-IN DAY!
We recommend having the Move-in Guide on your phone on Move-in Day so that you can refer to the check-in and unloading instructions, route maps, and the Getting Settled Guide as needed throughout the day.
You can access the Move-in Guide directly from the SF State Mobile App. Simply download the App from the App Store or Google Play by searching for SF State Mobile, then click the 'Housing' button and select 'Move-in Day'.
Once you're moved-in and settled, be sure to check out other great features of the SF State Mobile App, such as campus maps, dining locations, and more!
