Move-in day logistics
- Check-in location
- FAST Forward check-in at the Piper Academic Center.
- Parking
- Use the unloading zone designated for your residence hall, then move the vehicle to long-term parking within 20 minutes.
Move-in day tips
- Arrive during your assigned move-in window - arriving early may mean waiting until your time slot.
- Bring a rolling cart or hand truck - campus carts can run out quickly during busy move-in periods.
- Have a parking backup plan - spaces near residence halls can fill up quickly, so know where you can unload if your preferred area is full.
- Watch the loading-zone time limit - many campuses require you to move your vehicle to longer-term parking after unloading.
