During designated move in days at the beginning of each semester, temporary two-hour loading and unloading parking is established in close proximity to the residence halls so that students may transfer their belongings between their vehicle and hall with minimal inconvenience. To expedite the process, and to allow access to the maximum number of customers, vehicles left beyond the two-hour time limit may be subject to a fine. After the two-hour time limit, we ask that students and parents move their vehicle(s) to any parking lot not located off of Residence Drive. Holly Street parking and lots T and V1 will be available.

Parking permits are required first day of classes.

More information about Move In is available on the Welcome Weekend Web page.

Beginning at noon on Wednesday during the last week of the semester (finals week), resident students are allowed to park in any commuter lot for the purpose of loading their vehicles. Standard rules apply to metered, reserved, and spaces for people with disabilities.
