UT Austin dorm packing list for move-in

Six things to bring or settle before move-in

• An ID you can reach at check-inBring your UT ID card or a current government-issued photo ID. Keep it with you rather than packing it in the last box to unload.
• Twin XL beddingPack extra-long twin sheets, a pillow and a blanket. UT says the furnished bed and mattress stay in the room.
• Supplies for your actual bathroomPack a shower caddy and shoes for a community bath. Bring soap, toilet paper and cleaning supplies for an in-room or connecting bathroom.
• A small laundry and cleaning kitPack a bag or basket for laundry and basic cleaning supplies. UT includes access to hall laundry in the housing rate.
• One shared plan for appliances and extrasAsk your roommate before buying large items. UT provides a microwave and refrigerator combination in standard residence hall rooms and publishes rules for what appliances are allowed.
• A plan for the appointment and unloadCheck UT’s Mooov Guide and the instructions for your hall before loading the car. Keep the items you need at check-in separate from everything going to the room.

Check the furnished layout before shopping

Look at the tour for your specific room type. The example tours show typical furniture and layouts, so leave room in your budget to buy nonessentials after you see the space.
