Preska Move-In (Fall)

This map is for students moving into Preska Residence Community. Follow the driving route on the map, NOT the directions your GPS will tell you to follow. Your route is designed to assist traffic flow across campus on this busy day.

Make sure you enter the staging area in Lot 16. As space becomes available, you will be directed to the unloading zone at Preska.

Move-In Tips

You will have 15 minutes to unload your vehicle curbside outside of Preska.
Move Crew volunteers will help unload your belongings to the curb and can watch belongings until they are moved to your room. Move Crew is available until 3 p.m.
Make sure one person stays with your vehicle at all times while unloading.
Trailers are not allowed in this unloading zone. Go to the designated unloading area in Lot 16.
After the vehicle is emptied, you MUST move the vehicle to long-term parking in Lot 1 or 20. You can ride a free shuttle back to Preska Residence Community to reunite with family.
Vehicles with handicap permits may park in Lot 16 after unloading.

AVOID TICKETING & TOWING
