The University of Alabama at Birmingham will welcome thousands of Blazers back to campus for the fall semester during Move-In Days, scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 20, through Sunday, Aug. 24, 2025.
Students will receive their assigned move-in date and time via email in early August. Completion of the online housing training module is required before check-in.
To help students and families navigate campus, UAB has released a Move-In Traffic Map, which outlines entry points, one-way routes, and unloading zones for Gold Hall, Camp Hall, Blazer Hall, and McMahon Hall. The map also shows the preferred approach from I-65 via University Boulevard to 16th Street South.
