Come on in!

We look forward to having you join us for the 2023-2024 academic year and believe your residence hall experience - the friendships you will make, the opportunities for involvement and learning available to you, and the support you will have from the residence hall and other University staff - will add considerably to your NMU experience.

The move-in date is August 24, 2023.

Moving Carts

Depending on your hall, carts or these big boxes called Ulines are available.  There are limited quantities of these, so depending on the volume of residents moving in at a time, there might be a wait.

Loft Kits

Loft kits are available on a first come, first serve basis and there are a limited number available.  Students will receive specific details on how to request a loft kit with their fall housing assignment (housing assignments are sent to students NMU email at the end of July/early August).  Loft kits cost $50 per semester and are non-refundable.

Beds in the residence halls are manufactured differently and, therefore, we do not permit students to construct their own lofts.  We have purchased loft kits from the company that manufactures these beds.

Students who want to return a loft can do so by submitting a maintenance request through the Housing Portal. 

Useful Information

  • Parking
  • Important dates
  • Connect your device
  • Roommates: Most students, including those who have not known each other previously, become good roommates provided they take the time to get to know one another, make a sincere effort to cooperate and communicate, and make it a point to do things together at least occasionally. If you have roommate concerns, work with your residence adviser to explore your options.  
  • Assignment adjustments: For the past several years the number of students we have assigned to our residence halls has been near capacity.  This means that the Housing and Residence Life Office does not have the flexibility to make adjustments to room or roommate assignments.  If you have a question or concern about your assignment, please contact us by email (housing@nmu.edu).
  • I am no longer attending NMU:  Please let us know in writing (email housing@nmu.edu) at your earliest convenience.  By letting us know early, you may make it possible for us to move effectively respond to another resident’s residence hall preference.
