Moving into college can be an exciting yet overwhelming experience for students and their families. With the flurry of activity on move-in days, it's essential for college and university administrators to have a well-organized plan in place.
Thankfully, sign ups offer powerful features that can simplify the entire move-in day process, allowing for efficient coordination and seamless communication.
We will explore six SignUpGenius features that help transform move-in days into a well-oiled machine.
When adding dates to your sign up, choose the Add Time Slots option. After entering the date, add the start and end times for the day. This will automatically populate time slots of any duration during your preferred start and end times. This automated feature makes adding time slots a breeze.
Students and their families can select their preferred time slot, thus minimizing congestion and ensuring a smoother transition. Time slots help distribute the influx of students, preventing long waiting times and confusion.
With SignUpGenius, administrators can create customized sign ups that include custom questions such as vehicle details, special accommodation requests, or the need for additional assistance. By gathering this information in advance, colleges can better allocate resources, plan logistics, and accommodate specific needs effectively.
SignUpGenius gives creators the ability to tailor questions to their unique requirements, streamlining the move-in process and ensuring a seamless experience for all.
Set your sign ups to send reminders to participants a certain number of days before their slot. And that's it! Messages will get sent automatically without having to think about them again. If participants have follow-up questions after receiving their reminder, it's easy for them to get in touch with you from the sign up link in the message.
With a premium plan, sign up creators can customize reminder messages to include any information students and their families will need on move-in day. Each sign up can have its own unique reminder message, ensuring everyone has the specific information they need.
The automated messages feature ensures that students and families are well-informed so move-in day organizers can ensure punctuality and minimize stress. Staying connected and keeping everyone on the same page has never been easier.
This feature allows you to tab multiple sign up sheets under a single link, eliminating the hassle of navigating between different links or sending multiple sign up invites to participants. Instead, students and families can easily access and sign up for different events or time slots by simply switching between tabs within the same interface.
Sign up tabbing not only simplifies the registration process for participants but also provides a streamlined experience for your team. It centralizes the management of different sign ups, allowing for easier tracking, coordination, and messaging.

Sign up creators can choose from hundreds of professionally designed sign up themes and upload their own images, such as your school's logo. With a premium subscription, creators can also customize the layout and color combinations to make a sign up theme that's unique for your school and event. These custom themes can be saved and reused for multiple sign ups to maintain consistent branding across your sign ups. Learn more about subscription features on our pricing page.
Sign up theme customization helps establish a sense of familiarity and connection for students and families, reinforcing the school's image and creating a positive impression right from the start.
This feature allows administrators to gather essential data and feedback from their sign ups, enabling them to evaluate and improve their move-in process for future years. Reports can be customized to include all the information you need from your sign up. Once created, you can easily download reports as spreadsheets from your SignUpGenius account.
Are student organizations or athletic teams volunteering to help during move-in day? Gather volunteer hours reports for your sign ups with a premium subscription. Calculating volunteer hours has never been easier.
By leveraging the power of custom reporting, colleges and universities can gain valuable knowledge about their students and make data-driven decisions to streamline and enhance their move-in process year after year.
With a premium subscription, you can upload files to your GeniusDrive and attach files to your sign ups to effortlessly distribute these essential documents directly to students, eliminating the need for separate communication channels or physical handouts. In addition to sign ups, you can also attach files to confirmation and reminder emails. This ensures students get access to files in multiple places, from the sign up to their email inbox.
If students and families need to read certain disclaimers, waivers, or consent forms that you've attached to the sign up, you can add a custom question to your sign up. The question can require participants to enter their name or choose options from a menu, serving as a digital signature or agreement to the document.
By attaching files to sign ups, administrators can eliminate the risk of documents getting lost or misplaced while eliminating the need for manual distribution or multiple email exchanges. Everything participants need is conveniently accessible in one centralized location.
College move-in days no longer have to be chaotic and disorganized events. SignUpGenius offers a comprehensive solution for schools to manage the process effectively. Embrace the power of organization and make college move-in days a success with SignUpGenius!
