Moving Resources

This page contains a series of recommendations, resources, and websites to assist relocations on the Berkeley campus. Information is organized somewhat chronologically, into sections on pre-move, moving, and post-move. This guide is not a catch-all, and each individual person’s or unit’s needs are unique that may not be reflected here. It is suggested that you consult with the contacts identified in this guide to arrive at a personalized move plan. 

As you prepare for a relocation you should take stock of what you truly need. While it can be challenging, moving presents the opportunity to purge making our spaces more efficient and practical. It’s never too early to begin the purging process.
