2025 Move-in information
Welcome to our new, incoming graduate students! Students will be sent an email with their move-in date, time, and location. The move-in date is dependent on the selection made on your application.
- Students' move-in date will depend on the date they selected in their application. Students can find their move-in date in an email they received from our office with their assignment information.
- Students will receive their housing assignment via email approximately two weeks before their move-in date.
- All graduate students will check in at the University Courtyard Apartment's Clubhouse (main office), located at 1 Scholar Drive, Newark, DE, 19711. Students can check in between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on their assigned day. Students who cannot check in between these hours on their assigned day should email reslife-housing@udel.edu, and we will try to accommodate the request.
- Students must pick up their ONEcard (student ID) before they move in. Visit the ONEcard website for more information and their office hours.
- Students who are bringing a car to campus will need to purchase a University of Delaware parking permit. Permits can be purchased online through University of Delaware Parking Services. Students who will have a car on-campus during move-in must pay for metered parking in the area.

Housing for graduate students is not guaranteed.
Our ability to guarantee housing for graduate students will be dependent upon the number of applications received. If the number of applications exceeds the available spaces, we will give priority to first-time students arriving this fall and to students whose permanent address is the farthest distance from campus.
Housing is only available for individual students. We do not have housing for students with partners/families. If a graduate student has a partner/spouse who is also a new graduate student, we will do our best to house them together, but each space is billed per person.

Students will be billed based on the move contract start date that is on or before their move-in date. For example, if a student moves in on July 20, they will be billed beginning July 15.

Yes, even if a student is not staying during Winter Session, rent is still owed as this is a continuous contract.
