Move-In 2023: What’s Open?

Posted on by

We’re excited to welcome new and returning Huskies to campus for the fall semester! During move-in, our retail locations and dining halls will have modified hours. All locations will be open beginning August 28th. Review current and upcoming hours at dining.uconn.edu/hours or check out move-in details below.

Here are a few reminders for the fall semester:

  • GUESTS IN THE DINING HALLS: Guests are welcome in the dining halls. Students can admit guests with flex passes, points, and Husky Bucks. Don’t forget your OneCard! Guests can also pay for a meal with credit/debit.
  • CHANGE MEAL PLAN: Students have until Friday, September 15, 2023, to upgrade or downgrade their residential meal plan.
  • DINING HALLS WILL BE BUSY: During the first couple weeks of classes the dining halls can be quite busy and there may be long lines as new students tend to travel together in groups to activities and meals around the same time. We appreciate your patience as our staff works hard to serve thousands of meals every day.
  • DOWNLOAD THE myUConn APP: Get easy access to our daily menus, hours, notifications, & more via the myUConn app.
  • FLEX PASSES & POINTS: Learn more about using your flex passes and points.
