Welcome Weekend: What to Expect during Move-In Day 2024
Grab your suitcase, bins, mini fridge, and more and get ready for Welcome Weekend at St. John Fisher University!
Read on for a run-down of Move-In Day and a few tips and tricks for making the day a success!
Residential Students
8 a.m. to noon: Resident Student Check-in and Move-In
Students assigned to Haffey Hall, Murray Hall, or Ward Hall should head to the main entrance of campus. Students assigned to Murphy Hall will arrive using the campus south entrance. Check-in will take place at your residence hall.
Please be patient and arrive at your assigned time as we will not be able to accommodate early arrivals.
From the parking lots, you will be directed to individual residence halls. The Orientation Team and Residential Life staff will be there to welcome you, help you unpack your car, and move you in.
You will need to check in at your individual residence hall to receive your room key and student ID.
Once you are in your room, connect with your roommate and start your residential journey!
11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Grab-and-Go Light Lunch for all students and families! Head over to the Ward-Haffey Dining Hall for a light lunch.
1 to 3 p.m. Parents are welcome to grab a sweet treat at Keough Upper Quad before saying your goodbyes. We look forward to seeing you again for Family Weekend 2024, scheduled for October 18-20!
3 to 4 p.m. Students will attend their first floor meeting to go over some important information from Residential Life.

Transfer Students
Whether you’re living on campus or commuting to class, Fisher offers transfer students several ways to get to know Fisher during Welcome Weekend.
Residential Transfer Students: You move onto campus from 9 to 11 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1. Beginning at 1 p.m., enjoy lunch and bonding time with your Orientation group. Spend the rest of the day exploring the activities and events happening on campus!
All Transfer Students: Your full day of Orientation is on Monday, Sept. 2. Pick up your iPad in Room 101 in the Wegmans School of Nursing at your assigned time between 10 and 11 a.m. (check your Fisher email for your assigned time). Then at 11 a.m., you’ll begin a day full of informational presentations and downtime to meet each other. At 4 p.m., you’ll have a chance to explore campus and find your classrooms, then you can join in on any social programming that evening.
