Move-In Parking Information

For Students Moving in on Friday, September 9th

Students moving to campus on Friday, September 9th as part of an approved Early Arrival group can utilize the residential lots closest to their building while they are moving in their belongings without displaying a parking permit. Students may not park in designated fire lanes, reserved spaces, disabled parking areas, or in a way that obstructs the lane of traffic. Please use sound judgement when parking your vehicle during unloading and move it to a long term parking area as soon as you have completed your unloading.

For Students Moving in on Monday, September 12th

New and transfer student move-in is quickly approaching!

Remember that any student unloading a vehicle on 9/12 will need an unloading parking permit to be able to enter the parking lot/area closest to your building. Any vehicle left in a designated unloading zone past the expiration of their permit is subject to ticketing and/or towing.

To print our your unloading parking permit, follow the instructions included in an email to be sent in early September.This email will provide a link towhere you can log-in using your netid and password to print your unloading parking permit.

The parking lot/area listed on your unloading parking permit does not necessarily correspond with your housing assignment (with its namesake), but it is the closest parking lot/area to your building.
