Move-in 2024 is Almost Here!

Welcome! Review the information on the HDH Move-In page , the FAQs below, and the Sixth College Move-In Map thoroughly.

Direct any questions that you have about your Housing Contract to housingcontracts@ucsd.edu.

Direct any questions that you may have regarding medical housing accommodations to osd@ucsd.edu.

All other questions about the residential experience may be directed to sixthrlstaff@ucsd.edu.

We are committed to fostering a positive and welcoming environment for everyone. Move-in can be a difficult time for students, staff, and families. We kindly ask everyone to treat our staff with the same professionalism and respect that you expect in return. Disrespectful or aggressive behavior will not be tolerated. Together, let's create a collaborative and courteous atmosphere for all. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Pre-Move-In Steps

To do ASAP:

1). Submit your Student Identification photo so your ID, which is also your residence key, will be ready when you check in.

2) Choose your move-in time on the Undergraduate Housing Portal when it opens for Sixth on August 17, 2024, but no later than 11:59PM on Friday, September 6, 2024. If you do not select a move-in date and time, one will be assigned to you. There are no additional times other than those provided on your Housing Portal. We understand that every student and family has unique needs, but we also have to move in 2,242 students. No exceptions to our move-in hours will be made. Our first move-in slot is 8:30A and our last move-in slot is at 4:15P so that we may be completely closed by 5P.

3) Review the FAQs below and move-in map.

4) Condense what you plan to bring. Check out this virtual tour and learn what furniture (and its dimensions) is generally included in each space.Ask yourself if it will be worth hauling to the 14th floor of a building when you move in-or when you move out. Future you will be thankful. Double and triple room dimensions in Sixth are about 10’x10’, although individual room sizes vary.

How do I understand my room assignment?

Your room assignment will look something like this: CT-0104-1c.

CT stands for Catalyst

0104 means that you are on the 1st floor, apartment 104.

1 means that you are in bedroom 1

C means that you are in the lofted space in that bedroom.

Other building codes include: KA: Kaleidoscope, TY: Tapestry, and MO: Mosaic. Locate them on this map:

How do I select my move-In date & time?

To help make the move-in process as smooth as possible, we have provided the following tips:

MyRoomAssignment launches based on the schedule above. Once you are able to login, you can review your assignment information and select your move-in date and time. All students must select a move-in date and time by 11:59PM on Friday, September 6, 2024. If you do not select a move-in date and time, one will be assigned to you.
Move-In Arrival Date and Time:
- If you are a current summer housing resident who opted in for extended housing --- you will move to your permanent space on September 12. Room charges apply as indicated for those that opt-in to this program.
- There are specific programs that may have a September 13 move-in date and time and options are available to select from. Those programs are repsonsible for coordinating and communicating with HDH.
- All students can select from the options below:
  - General Move-In --- Takes place beginning September 18 with dates and times through September 22.
  - Week Zero Move-In -- Takes place September 23 with dates through September 27.
  - Late Move-In --- Students that have a need to arrive later (after September 27), please email sixthrlstaff@ucsd.edu.
Plan accordingly. There are a number of available move-in date and times to select from each day. Please be willing to have options as we cannot have everyone move-in at the same time. If the time you wanted is not available, please select another. We cannot have all students in a housing community arrive on the same day. There are no after hours move-in available. Please plan that if you are on a flight arriving later at night you will need to secure a move-in date/time for the next day.
Move-In date and times will vary by housing/area. For example, hours in Revelle may be different than hours in Sixth because the populations they serve are dramatically different in size.

Move-In Day Instructions

1) Use 9685 Scholars Drive North La Jolla, California, 92093 as your destination. Avoid parking on surface streets to prevent tickets or towing.

2) Follow signs to the Scholars Parking Structure's ground floor exit and cross Scholars Drive. , following the move-in map.

3) Join the line leading check-in on the Residence Life Patio.

4) Check your Qwik Pass for your room assignment and door PIN (4-digits found at the bottom). This pass is on the Undergraduate Housing Portal.

5) Bring your own equipment. Limited carts are available for a short time during move-in.

Can I edit my move-in time after I choose it?

Yes, but only for a limited time. It is best if you plan carefully and choose a time that will work for you.

Can I move in before September 18th?

Students can opt for Early Move-In. These dates start as early as September 16th. There is a charge of $50/night.

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate Early Move-Ins before September 16th. If you arrive in San Diego before September 16th, you will have to find lodging elsewhere. Here is some local HOTEL INFORMATION.

On my self-scheduled move-in day, if I arrive after 5pm, will I be able to move-in?

No. You will not be able to move in until the next day. No exceptions. Here is some local HOTEL INFORMATION.

What if I plan to arrive after September 27th?

Email sixthrlstaff@ucsd.edu immediately so that we may add your name to a late arrival list. If you do not, we may release your contract to accomodate someone on the waitlist.

Will move-in carts be provided?

Although we will have a very limited number of carts available for use, we kindly request students and their guardians bring their own equipment for move in.

When can I change rooms? I got a triple. Can I change into a double? My chosen roommates and I were placed in a triple with a random person. Can we switch out? Can I switch with someone in my suite?

The Room Change Interest List is traditionally activated on the Housing Portal during the 3rd week of Fall quarter. If you would be interested in changing the room to which you have been assigned, you may apply to the Room Change Interest List. In the meantime, you must move into your current room assignment. We cannot anticipate or ensure any particular outcome from applying to the Room Change Interest list.

Interpersonal Conflict: What do I do if I do not get along with my roommate, apartment mate, or suitemates?

Check out this infographic for a brief summary .

Go here to see how interpersonal conflict among those who live together is handled. If all else fails, you may put your name on the room change interest list in mid-October.

I have a medical accommodation housing issue. Whom do I contact?

Please contact the Office of Students with Disabilities (OSD) at: osd@ucsd.edu.

Mailing addresses will be available in mid-September in your Housing Portal. Your mailbox is located here, in the Mailroom.

Is there a MicroFridge rental program in Sixth? Can we bring mini fridges?

Unlike other areas, Sixth has microwaves and refrigerators in all of the common lounges and apartments. We do not offer rental services, but if a student wants their own refrigerator for their room, we do allow mini fridges that are 5 cubic feet or smaller in size and have a safe UL-approved electrical system (one per bedroom). They can be purchased at Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, Costco, or similar store and can also be shipped to your mailing address after move-in for less than $219, which is less than the fee charged by the MicroFridge rental agency.

What are the COVID-19 protocols for campus?

Formal precaution procedures regarding the public health emergency caused by COVID-19 were wound down in Spring 2023. Nonetheless, COVID-19 is still circulating widely and can result in serious or fatal illness, particularly for those most vulnerable in our communities. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to be masked when in crowded spaces and to follow the health promotion behaviors you have learned.

What if my room is dirty or there are damages when I move in?

Summer Conferences use our residential spaces over the summer months. Our custodial team and maintenance team do their best to clean and maintain the facilities prior to opening, but things happen! Any non-emergency HDH Facilities concerns (minor leaks, minor repairs) must be reported to https://hdh.ucsd.edu/popcustodial/pages/FixIt.html. Major incidents must be reported immediately to 858-534-2600.

What if I get locked out of my residence?

The Hospitality Information Desk handles all lockouts, lost keys, or keycard issues as well as mail and packages. Its hours can be found at: https://hi.ucsd.edu/.

Where can I eat?

All HDH dining locations and hours can be found at https://hdh.ucsd.edu.

What can I do between move-in and the first day of classes?

UC San Diego has a whole week of programming available for you both campus-wide and at Sixth College.

What are the Sixth Residence Life Office Hours and what can the office do for me?

Sixth College Residence Life focuses on enhancing the out-of-classroom experience and student development for residents.
