Welcome to Truett McConnell University! We are excited that God has led you to TMU and we want to make your transition to Cleveland as smooth as possible.

Please contact us at 706-865-2134, ext. 4101 if you have any other questions or we can help you in any way.

To move into campus housing on your designated day and time, ALL STUDENTS will need to receive full clearance from Registrar, Financial Aid, and Business Office.  To receive full clearance, students meet the following criteria:

  • Register for at least 12 credit hours.
  • Complete all required Financial Aid documents.
  • Set up a payment plan or pay the bill in full through the Business Office.

Upon receiving full clearance, you will receive an email with a link to sign up for a move-in time on your designated day.  Move-in times are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore the faster you receive full clearance, the better.  Only students that receive full clearance and sign up for a move-in time will be issued a key.  Please contact the appropriate office to ensure you are adequately cleared.
