The Diag

The Diag is at the heart of the University of Michigan. Students gather here for both celebration and activism, pass through between classes and linger for socializing. The Block M is a well-known symbol of the University. Superstition warns not to walk across it before your first bluebook exam.

Early Move-In

    Early Move-In allows future residents to apply for a date that is before their scheduled contract date. Please see Early Move-In for more information and the online application.

*No matter what time you arrive, it is best to be prepared for some delay due to heavy volume of traffic immediately adjacent to halls. However, those who arrive in the late afternoon often encounter fewer backups than those who arrive first thing in the morning. It's also to your advantage to avoid Ann Arbor rush hours, before 9:00 am and 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm. In fact, University Housing and the city of Ann Arbor request that you not arrive on campus or drive around campus during either period, unless absolutely necessary. If you are already in Ann Arbor during the rush hours, why not take the opportunity to stroll around town or have a bite to eat?

Move-In Maker volunteers will be available to help new arrivals on Sunday from 12 noon to 6 pm and on Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 6:00 p m.

Note: Residents of the Lawyers Club, Martha Cook Building and Henderson House should follow their building-specific guidelines and schedule for moving in.
