Moving to Campus

When is General Move-in for New Students (Non-Fall Athletes)? 

General Move-in Day for New students takes place on Saturday, August 31. 

Students will be assigned a 30-minute check-in time slot for arrival that day. We ask that students arrive during that 30-minute time slot for check-in to help with traffic flow. After you have checked in, you will have as much time as needed to move in. These assignments will be communicated out to students in early July. Once you have received your assigned move-in check-in time slot, please contact our admissions office if you have concerns or would like to inquiry about changing your time. 

Where do I go to check-in?

STEP 1: Go to the  Yellowjacket Union (YU) to start your Residence Hall Check-in process. DO NOT go to your residence hall prior to checking in to the YU as you will not be able to get into your room until you have checked in at the YU.

STEP 2: Drive to your residence hall to park and unload your personal items. 

Where do I park?

First Stop: Yellowjacket Union – park in Lot 2 or 11 – there is no charge for parking during move-in days

Next Stop: Your residence hall – follow campus signs and directions from staff and volunteers for parking.

Permits:

• Parking permits will not be required in these lots during move-in. However, parking in metered spaces without payment and/or in ADA accessible spaces without proper permits will result in a citation.
• Those planning to keep a car on-campus during the semester will need to purchase a parking permit. You may purchase these on your move-in day.

Map and Directions: Please refer to the campus map to locate the parking lots, YU and other buildings as needed.

These move-in times are ONLY for fall student-athletes. This applies to both new fall student-athletes and returning fall student-athletes. Student-athletes from all other teams (non-fall sports) will move in during their appropriate designed date/time (new students on August 31 and returning students on September 1-3.
