Move-in Steps

STEP 1 | Check-in

LOCATION: BUCKINGHAM (BU) WAY

  • Park in front of your building in one of the designated parking spaces. 
  • Walk to the check-in area at 295 BU and present your SFSU Mobile Credential and Move-in Confirmation to receive your keys and unloading permit/bin rental card.

Please Note:  Be sure you have signed your License Agreement and registered for classes prior to checking in on Move-in Day. Your check-in process will be delayed if these are incomplete, and you may be asked to visit the Advising Center to meet with an advisor.

STEP 2 | Unloading

LOCATION: BUCKINGHAM WAY 

  • Walk to the bin rental location at 265 BU. Fill out the bin rental card and turn it in to staff to rent a moving bin (high-rises only). 
  • Return to your car and place the unloading permit in your vehicle according to the instructions on the permit. You will have 1 hour to unload your vehicle. Vehicles left beyond the time limit may be cited or towed.

Please Note: Only 1 vehicle per resident is allowed in the unloading area.

STEP 3 | Park

LOCATION: LOT 20 ON STATE DR.

After unloading your belongings, move your vehicle to Lot 20 levels 1-3. PARKING IS FREE!

Please Note:

  • Due to a max clearance of 6’8”, large trucks, trailers, or recreational vehicles cannot be accommodated in Lot 20.
  • Follow any parking restrictions, as SFSU will not be responsible for any parking violations.   

Moving Bin Rental

Moving bins will be available at the unloading area to make it easier for you to move your belongings. You are welcome to bring small moving equipment, such as hand trucks or dollies.

TO RENT A MOVING BIN:

  • Fill out and detach the bin rental card on the unloading permit you received at Check-in. 
  • Provide the card along with a government-issued ID. Your ID will be returned to you when you bring your bin back to the bin check-out area.
  • 1 bin can be checked out for a maximum of 1 hour.

Please Note: There is a $110 charge for any bins that are not returned.
