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.
