Move-in day logistics
- Check-in location
- Check in at the Keleher Learning Commons on Monday, Aug. 24, from 9 to 11 a.m.
- Parking
- All students can get a parking pass, which you register for at check-in or through the Student Vehicle Registration form in eSpire. Park only in the lot that matches your pass: Residential, Commuter, or Faculty/Staff.
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.
