College Moves Have Their Own Challenges
Campus move-in and move-out days can be crowded, time-limited, and physically demanding. Parking may be restricted, elevators stay busy, hallways are narrow, and the room may be several floors above the unloading area.
Our moving team arrives prepared with dollies, carts, moving blankets, shrink wrap, straps, and the tools needed for approved furniture disassembly and reassembly.
Tell us where the student is moving from, where everything is going, what needs to be moved, and what the access is like. We will help determine the appropriate crew and plan for the move.
College Moving Services Across East Texas
We assist students attending colleges and universities throughout Tyler and the surrounding East Texas area, including:
- The University of Texas at Tyler
- Tyler Junior College
- Texas College
- LeTourneau University
- Kilgore College

Services are also available for students living in privately managed dormitories, off-campus apartments, student housing communities, and rental homes.
ICANN Moving Company is an independent moving company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any college or university listed on this page.
Dorm-Room Moving
A dorm move may involve only one room, but that does not make it easy. Mini refrigerators, televisions, storage bins, clothes, bedding, desks, chairs, and boxes still have to travel from the vehicle to the room—sometimes through long hallways or up several flights of stairs.
Our dorm-moving services may include:
- Loading belongings from a home, apartment, or storage unit
- Transporting everything to campus
- Unloading at the residence hall
- Carrying belongings to the student’s room
- Moving approved furniture and electronics
- Placing boxes and belongings inside the room
- Moving the student out at the end of the semester
- Delivering belongings to a new apartment, home, or storage unit
If the school provides a specific move-in window, parking instructions, elevator reservation, or unloading procedure, please share that information when scheduling.
Off-Campus Apartment Moves
An off-campus college apartment often contains more than a dorm room. Students may have a sofa, dining table, bedroom furniture, television, appliances, kitchen boxes, décor, and belongings shared with roommates.
ICANN Moving Company can handle:
- Apartment-to-apartment moves
- Dorm-to-apartment moves
- Apartment-to-dorm moves
- Moves into student housing
- Roommate moves and split deliveries
- Moving into or out of furnished apartments
- Furniture pickup and delivery
- Moves between units in the same complex
- Moves home after graduation
- Moves to another Texas city
Whether the student is moving across the street, across Tyler, or elsewhere in Texas, we can prepare a quote based on what is actually being moved.
Moving Into College
For a college move-in, we can pick up the student’s belongings from home, a storage unit, a retailer, or another approved location and deliver them to the dorm or apartment.
Our movers can place boxes in the correct room and position approved furniture according to the student’s instructions. When included in the move, we can also disassemble and reassemble standard furniture as needed for transportation.
Before move-in day, confirm:
- The student’s assigned building and room or unit number
- The approved arrival window
- Where moving vehicles may park
- Whether an elevator reservation is required
- Who will provide building or room access
- Whether carts are permitted inside
- Any campus or property-management requirements
Having these details ready helps the move proceed more efficiently.
Moving Out at the End of the Semester
When final exams are over and the residence hall or apartment must be cleared quickly, the last thing most students want to do is spend another day carrying furniture and boxes.
We can move belongings:
- Back to the family home
- Into a new apartment
- To another residence hall
- Into a storage unit
- To a roommate or family member
- To another city within Texas
- To multiple approved destinations
If roommates are separating shared belongings, label everything clearly and tell us which items belong at each destination.
Parents Coordinating From Out of Town
Parents do not have to travel to Tyler simply to coordinate every detail of the move.
With the appropriate arrangements, ICANN Moving Company can communicate directly with the student regarding access, timing, parking, and placement. The parent, employer, scholarship program, housing organization, or other approved party can receive the quote and invoice.
Before booking, we confirm:
- Who is authorizing the move
- Who will be present
- Who may approve changes
- Who is responsible for payment
- Where the quote and invoice should be sent
After payment, an itemized paid invoice can be emailed to the responsible party for personal records, reimbursement, or other documentation needs.
Packing Help for Students
Some students are completely packed and ready when the movers arrive. Others discover on move-out day that clothing, dishes, books, electronics, and decorations still need to be boxed.
ICANN Moving Company offers full, partial, and fragile-item packing services. We can pack the entire dorm room or apartment, finish what the student started, or handle only the breakable and difficult items.
Packing materials may be purchased ahead of time so the student can get started, provided by the customer, or brought by our crew when arranged before the appointment.
Students should personally pack and keep prescription medications, identification, school documents, keys, laptops, tablets, jewelry, cash, and other small valuables.
Furniture Pickup and Delivery
Found a desk, dresser, sofa, bed, or dining set on Facebook Marketplace? Purchased furniture from a local store for an apartment or dorm?
Our pickup and delivery service can collect approved items from:
- Furniture stores
- Facebook Marketplace sellers
- Friends or family
- Estate sales
- Storage facilities
- Private sellers
- Other approved locations
We can deliver the item to the dorm, apartment, rental home, or storage unit and place it in the assigned room. Furniture assembly and removal of approved old items are also available when arranged in advance.
Storage Between Semesters
Students who go home for the summer may not want to transport furniture and boxes back and forth across Texas.
For semester-long or other extended storage, we recommend renting a storage unit in the student’s or parent’s name. This gives the family direct access to the unit whenever needed.
ICANN Moving Company can:
- Pick up belongings at the end of the semester
- Move them into the student’s storage unit
- Arrange the unit carefully for easier access
- Return at the beginning of the next semester
- Load everything from storage
- Deliver it to the new dorm, apartment, or rental home
For a short gap of up to three days, an overnight moving-truck hold may be available with prior arrangements and depending on scheduling. Longer holds require an appropriate storage facility.
In-Building and Same-Complex Moves
Sometimes a student is not leaving the property—they are simply changing rooms, floors, buildings, or apartment units.
We can help move furniture, boxes, electronics, and other belongings:
- From one dorm room to another
- Between floors in the same building
- To another building on campus
- From one apartment unit to another
- Into a different bedroom after a roommate change
- Out of the way during repairs or renovations
Even without truck transportation, professional moving help can save time and prevent students or family members from carrying heavy furniture through stairs and narrow hallways.
Moving After Graduation
Graduation often means leaving student housing, starting a new job, returning home, or relocating to another Texas city.
ICANN Moving Company can help graduates move from Tyler or East Texas to destinations throughout the state. We handle the loading, transportation, unloading, furniture placement, and necessary disassembly and reassembly included in the move.
If an employer, university program, housing organization, or another approved third party is paying for the move, invoice billing may be arranged in advance.
What Determines the Cost of a College Move?
College moving costs depend on:
- The number and size of the belongings
- The number of movers required
- Pickup and delivery distance
- Stairs and elevator access
- Distance from parking to the room
- Building and campus access requirements
- Packing assistance and materials
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly
- Additional pickup or delivery stops
- Heavy or specialty items
- Storage-unit services
- The requested moving date and schedule
We quote according to the student’s actual move—not simply the fact that it is a dorm room or apartment. Any applicable service minimums, stair charges, trip charges, weekend rates, or additional services will be explained before booking.
What We Need for an Accurate College Moving Quote
When requesting a quote, please provide:
- Student’s name and contact information
- Parent or responsible party’s information, if applicable
- College or university
- Residence hall, apartment, or property name
- Complete pickup and delivery addresses
- Building, floor, room, or unit numbers
- Move-in or move-out date and time window
- A list or photographs of the items being moved
- Information about stairs and elevators
- Parking and loading instructions
- Packing assistance needed
- Storage-unit information, if applicable
- Any heavy or specialty items
- Additional stops or split deliveries
The more information we receive beforehand, the better prepared our crew can be on moving day.
Start the Semester Without the Heavy Lifting
College move-in day should be about getting settled, meeting roommates, and preparing for the semester—not carrying a mini refrigerator up four flights of stairs.
