Move-in days for MU, Columbia and Stephens colleges are coming. What to expect

The school year is fast approaching for students at public schools in Boone County. But those are not the the only education providers locally. There also are the University of Missouri, Columbia College and Stephens College, which all will have move-in events as new and returning students get oriented on their respective campuses.

This is what the Columbia community and incoming students and families can expect.

University of Missouri

Students should start arriving to the MU campus Aug. 10. This is a smaller number than when the main crush of students arrive Aug. 14-15. The groups moving to campus early are those seeking Panhellenic Association recruitment, Marching Mizzou and some student leadership positions.

On the main move-in days, the traffic flow is shifted to and around campus “to accommodate students, families and their vehicles, and it takes droves of volunteers from both campus and community to get everyone in,” said Christopher Ave, MU director of news and information in a message to the Tribune.

Columbia College

Columbia College starts its move-in day noon Aug. 21.
