UTSA Housing Move-In/ Move-Out
Fall 2025: Move In
Fall move in for the 25-26 Academic Year is August 18th - August 22nd, 9am - 4pm.
Get Ready, Y’all—Fall Move-In is Coming!
We’ll be sending out a series of emails packed with everything you need to know before, during, and after you move in. From what to bring to surviving that legendary Texas heat, we’ve got your back. Keep an eye on your inbox so you’re fully prepped to hit the ground running (and sweating) this fall!
Move In Dates:
8/18 Monday - Alvarez Hall 1st & 3rd floors, Guadalupe Hall, Chisholm
8/19 Tuesday - Alvarez Hall 2nd & 4th floors, Chisholm Hall

8/22 Friday - Laurel Village
Move In Route:
Step #1: Check In
You will need to check in at Brackenridge Ave Lot 5 (BK5) which is also where you will be picking up your temporary key. During this period, you will be picking up your temporary card from us and checking in with our staff. Once that is completed you will need to get in your vehicle as a passenger with your belongings and head to the unloading area. If there is a vehicle that does not need to be unloaded please head straight to the parking location.
Step #2: Unloading
The second stop is unloading. The parking lot directly in front of the resident halls are ONLY serving as unloading zones. During the week we will be opening certain parking lots for residents but until then please park in the designated parking lots rather than the Resident Lots to allow your fellow peers to have a great move in experience as well.
We recommend that the student stay with their belongings while their move in helper (parent, guardian, friend etc) relocates the car to the parking area in Step 3
Step #3: Parking
Once your car has been unloaded you will need to follow the directional signs to the parking area for move in. This will be located in Brackeridge Lot 1. In the parking area we will be shuttling students and their families to and from the resident hall and parking lot. Make sure to park in unmarked spaces to avoid a parking citation.
If you follow these three main instructions points move in should be a relatively “cool” experience. At least as cool as you can get in the August San Antonio heat.

Waitlist
- If you see the 2025-2026 Academic Waitlist application when you log into your Housing Portal, then you do not have a signed contract on file.
- You have not signed the contract.
Log into your housing portal and complete the 2025-2026 Academic Waitlist application.
There is no waitlist deposit. The non-refundable $100 application fee will available to pay prior to signing the contract via the housing portal.
The waitlist is ever-changing as current contract holders cancel, students remove themselves from the waitlist, etc. We are unable to give you an exact number you are in line, however the earlier you apply for the waitlist, the more likely you will receive a space offer.
We will do our best to offer you a space that meets your top housing preferences, however it ultimately is dependent upon the vacancies we have. Once you accept your offer, you will receive your assignment with the specific unit and roommate(s) information.
If you have signed the contract to accept the housing space offer, you must meet the cancellation qualifications listed on pages 4-6 of your housing contract. Another option is participating in room swap with other students to get into your preferred floorplan. Please review thoroughly before signing.
