We have provided a packing list for you to help prepare for move in day! It is typically emailed to you 30 days before your move in day.

We will provide you with an Extra Large Twin bed, a desk, and four drawer dresser. Please note: Mini fridges, microwaves, and desk chairs appear in our model unit, however, they are not provided in the room.

There is a link below to download a move-in checklist!

You will set a check in time with your new student advisor for move in day. When you arrive, you will go to the UAT main building and meet your advisor for check in, class schedule, meal card, etc. After that is complete, you will come over to the Founder's Hall table, or be escorted over to the dorms by your advisor. 

We will ensure your move in fees are paid, and make sure you have access to your resident portal, keys, and roommate contact information. Then we will show you around and to your room!

We provide an Extra Large Twin sized mattress for you in your room. The dimensions are 38x80 inches, and they are 8 inches thick.

The desks are provided, however, the desk chair is not provided. The desk sits 30 inches tall, and they are 48x36 inches.

*Please note that sizes vary based on availability and when the furniture was purchased*

About 30 days before you move in, you will be matched with a roommate based on the roommate profile you created on your application. The Leasing Manager will look at information such as major, sleep schedule, cleanliness, and other provided information to find a roommate that will fit well with your lifestyle, and match you with a roommate accordingly. You will receive their contact information roughly 30 days prior to move in day. 

Unfortunately, we do not accept mail or packages for students prior to move in day. Until they are moved in and considered a current resident, we are not able to accept and log mail or packages in our system under their name and they will be returned to their sender.

There are three options for paying online for rent in the resident portal: Card, Moneygram, and ACH (electronic check). All are available in the resident portal for residents and guarantors to access. The convenience fees on these vary based on bank and payment type.

We do not accept checks on move in day, however, future payments can be made by check made out to Founder's Hall with the resident name and room number in the memo.

If you have worked with your financial aid advisor on having the dorms covered under your financial aid, your stipend check will be process AFTER you have shown up for the first day of classes. Since move in day is prior to classes beginning, your move in fees (deposit and first month's rent) are required prior to moving in to the dorms. Your stipend check will "reimburse" you for the payment you made for your first installment. Please note: Deposits are rarely covered by financial aid!

Just like in conventional housing, your payment is due on the 1st of the month. You are always welcome to add multiple months of rent to your account as credit we pull from when your monthly installment is charged. Many students that utilize financial aid for their dorm payments will make a deposit for the entire semester so they do not have to worry about making monthly payments on the 1st of each month.

We do offer a 5% discount when the entire lease is paid for upfront. If you would like this amount calculated for you, please reach out to the Leasing Manager at Founder's for assistance.
