Move-in Day
Flow of Traffic
In order to ensure a smooth move-in experience and limit traffic on nearby streets, it is imperative to follow the traffic flow as illustrated in the map.
- Drive east on W. University Ave
- Turn right onto SW 12th St to enter the move-in line. You will not be able to enter the line from any other street.
- Follow the line onto SW Alligator Alley where a Sweetwater team member will meet you.
You may only bring one car through the move-in line.
Move-in Day Parking
Street parking is first come, first served. Another option is the Downtown SouthWest Garage.
If you have added parking to your lease, you can park in the Sweetwater garage however you will not be able to leave the garage until after VIP move-in ends.
You won’t be able to move your car out of the garage during move-in, so please plan accordingly.

The White Glove Move-in Process
August 13-14
- At your designated move-in time, pull into the move-in line using the directional map above.
- Once you’ve pulled into the move-in line, our team will ask for your ID, verify that you’ve completed your move-in checklist, and provide your move-in packet with keys!
- Professional movers will meet you at your car, unload all of your items from your car, and transport them to your unit for you. After your vehicle is unloaded, you will move out of the check-in line and park.
- Enjoy free Daydreamer from 9am – 4pm, plus water stations.
- End the day at our parents’ welcome happy hour from 4pm – 6pm.
Standard Move-in Day

- Monday – Friday: 10am – 6pm
- Saturday: 10am – 4pm
- Sunday: 1pm – 4pm
- You will still need to complete everything on your move-in checklist before you can pick up your keys.
Move-in Time Assignments
All unit numbers are formatted as Unit Number-Bedspace. For example, if your unit assignment is 523-A, then your unit number is 523 and your bedspace is bedroom A.
The first number of your unit assignment is indicative of the floor your unit is on. For example, if your unit number is 523, you’re on floor 5. If your unit number is 1018, you’re on floor 10 (not floor 1!).
Move-in times vary by floor, so please look closely as to which time slot applies to you.
