Learning Community Priority Move-In

Maximing Your Move-In

To make the most of Move-In, follow these tips:

• Do not arrive earlier than your selected timeslot.
• For additional Move In info, including things to bring and road construction information, visit the Residential Life website.

Travel and Parking

• For directions on driving to campus, please review the move in maps.
• After you have unloaded your car, it will need to be moved to another location to allow other students to park close for unloading. You will receive information on where you can park at check-in.
• Academic Year parking permits go into effect Sunday evening, August 25th.

Arrival & Unloading

• Upon arrival, each student should bring a photo ID to the Lobby of their residence hall (near the Front Desk) to pick up their room key. A flat-bed cart may also be checked out at this time. Family should wait at the vehicle while the student checks-in.
• After you have unloaded your car, your car will need to be moved to another location to allow other students to park close for unloading. Each student will receive information on where they can park at check-in.
• Please Note: you may receive information from Residential Life in July discussing an August 22nd move-in; rest assured, if you have signed up to be a Move Crew volunteer you will be approved to move in on August 20th. Your E-Services account will be updated in early August for this early move in.

Move Crew Role on August 21

• As a condition of moving in early, you have agreed to participate in Move Crew on August 21st. Plan to attend the 6:30PM Learning Community Welcome and Fun in the Fieldhouse. (The location of the social will be sent at a later date) on August 20th to receive Move Crew instructions and your assignment.
  • Your learning community will either be assigned the 8:15-11:15 AM; 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM or 1:45 PM – 4:30 PM shift. You will find out your community's assignment at the Ice Cream Social. 
  • Please note that if you do not attend the learning community reception or participate in your assigned shift, you may receive charges from Residential Life for arriving early.

Dining

• Your meal plan begins with dinner on Thursday, August 21st in the University Dining Center. Retail dining locations on campus will be open throughout Move-In.

Learning Community Welcome and fun in the fieldhouse

• At 6:30pm on Wednesday the 20th, there will be a Learning Community welcome. This event is for students and staff only—families, please say your good-byes before then.
• This event is intended for you to have an opportunity to:
  • Meet other students in your Learning Community and your peer mentor-WEAR YOUR COMMUNITY TSHIRT YOU WERE GIVEN EARLIER IN THE DAY!
  • Receive Move Crew instructions and training, and your “Move Crew” hat
  • Get to know your Learning Community Coordinator better (you should have met them before this)
  • Enjoy some fun together!
