New & Incoming Transfer Student Housing

Residence Life Welcomes All Our New Broncos!

When should I arrive?

New students will move into their residence halls on Tuesday, August 25th between 8am-1pm. Students' designated move in times will be available to view on the Student Housing Portal under the residency tab. Students will click on Move In on the left hand side to view their 1 hour move in window.

Students must check in at or after their assigned time (prior to 1 p.m.), unless otherwise instructed.

When you arrive on campus (at the main entrance), a University Police Officer will direct you to where to drive to check into your residence hall.

On new student move in day, Move-In Crew volunteers can assist you in carrying belongings during the arrival window. Please put the student’s name, hall and room number on all boxes, suitcases, etc.

There are no provisions to check in or to move in early.

You will have a maximum of 20 minutes to unload your vehicle near the building before being instructed to park the vehicle. Someone should remain with the vehicle until it is unloaded so that it can be parked immediately.

What should I bring and what should I not bring?

Residence Life has a what to bring list. This is a great starting point. The list includes suggested items to bring and prohibited items.

One hint: Less is better. Try to keep your items to 1 car load if possible.

Pack strategically! Bring items at the beginning of the semester for warmer weather. When you go home for October break, you can bring up your fall and winter items. This will help ensure that you and your roommates have optimal space in your rooms.

What is my campus mailing address?

The mail room is located in the club level of Farrell Hall. Mail is not addressed to your residence hall room. Hours of operation for the Student Mail Room are posted outside the mail room. To ensure prompt service and to avoid errors, your mail should be addressed as follows:
        Your Name
        649 Bronco Drive, (insert the start of your Delhi email address*)
        Delhi, NY 13753-4450.

*If your email address is MM123, add MM123 after 649 Bronco Drive.

How do I connect my wireless devices?

You can register all of your wireless devices before you arrive! Instructions are available on our wireless Internet page.

What else do I need to know?

Check out our Frequently Asked Questions page. During the year, you will have periodic mandatory floor meetings. It is very important that you attend these meetings since you will be given valuable information that you will be held accountable for, whether or not you attended the meeting.

Since your Delhi email address is one of the official forms of communication between you and the campus, you should check this on a daily basis for important information from Residence Life and the campus.

When do the residence halls close?

The residence halls close during several breaks (October break, Thanksgiving break, mid-winter break, spring break) and at the conclusion of each semester. All residential students must depart during this time. Services, including meal services, are not available when the college is on break. Students will not have access to their rooms, campus mailboxes, or residence hall facilities during breaks.

All residents must leave the residence halls by the announced closing time. Residents are not allowed to return early. Students should plan ahead and arrange for transportation accordingly. If you cannot leave campus at the scheduled closing time due to weather emergencies or other exceptional circumstances, please contact your Residence Hall Director immediately for permission to stay on campus.

If you are facing housing insecurities, please inform your Residence Hall Director, so we can assist you with getting approval to stay on campus for breaks.

During breaks and in between the fall and spring semesters, students may leave their belongings on campus. However, we do encourage students to take home with them items of value. At the end of the spring semester, students must bring all of their belongings home for the summer.

The opening and closing dates and times for break are available on the College Calendar.

Gerry Hall was the first residence hall built at SUNY Delhi. The building is named after Angelica L. Gerry of Lake Delaware, NY, an individual who had shown great generosity to SUNY Delhi for many years. Gerry is pronounced with a hard "g" sound, not a "j" sound.

DuBois Hall

DuBois Hall is named after the second President of SUNY Delhi, who served from 1917 to 1929, and it is pronounced "doo-boys." DuBois Hall houses 235 students in an L-shaped building. Student rooms are located along both sides of long corridor hallways.

Russell Hall

Russell Hall is the largest residence hall at SUNY Delhi, housing approximately twice as many students as any of the other halls. Despite its overall size, there are small, close-knit environments on each floor.

Riverview Townhouses

Riverview Townhouses is an upper division community located next to Price Chopper (local grocery store). The community is close enough to campus but has the feel of off-campus living. Riverview residents are part of the general community of Delhi.
