Move-in date for the 2026-2027 AY is Sunday, September 6, 2026 (Peterborough & Durham).
It’s almost time to move into residence! Before joining us on campus, we have some helpful resources to make your day go smoothly:
Before You Arrive
- Read the Residence Agreement and Residence Community Standards on our Policies page.
- Avoid move-in delays - upload your photo to the TrentU Card Photo Submission tool on the myTrent portal so you can access your residence.
- Coldex Fridge Rental – need a mini fridge for your space? Skip the heavy lifting and rent from Coldex, they'll deliver it to your space: coldexrents.com
- Refer to the email you received that includes your move-in time slot. You will be able to access your move in information in your original housing application in the housing portal.
- Check out our Residence Checklist.
When you Arrive
Support
Your Residence Assistant and the rest of our staff are excited to support your big day! Carts will be available and student staff will be on hand to troubleshoot.
Late Arrivals
If you are unable to arrive during your scheduled move-in time slot, please contact Student Housing at residence@trentu.ca before you arrive on campus, and we will work with you to accommodate your needs.
Move in Day
You can check in at your designated tent during your scheduled move-in timeslot. Once you have checked in and picked up your key, use the maps and coloured signs to guide you to your residence. Trent University staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Campus maps with check-in locations will be posted in the coming weeks.
Drop Off
Prepare to quickly unload your vehicle at your designated unload zone after arriving at your residence building. Once you've unloaded, you are welcome to park at one of our nearby long-term parking lots to avoid congested traffic.
