The Top Drop & Go move-in option allows students to drop off their belongings in their residence hall room early and return home until it is time to return to campus for the fall, avoiding the larger move-in rush. There is no extra cost for students to drop off their items early.

 

Eligibility 

  • We highly encourage students who have conflicts with the scheduled move-in dates to utilize this option.

  • For Fall 2026, Top Drop & Go is not available to residents of Center Hall, Munday Hall, Normal Hall, Regents Hall, & Southwest Hall.

  • Students MUST have received their WKU ID card prior to arriving on campus to utilize the Top Drop & Go option. The ID card will be programmed to allow door access at the residence hall front door for the allotted two-hour timeslot

  • Top Drop and Go is NOT available at Munday Hall, as it is serving as a 2026 summer hall. Students with a fall 2026 room assignment in Munday Hall may apply for summer housing if they need to move in early. Summer housing charges are pro-rated by the night. Learn More
