For our residence living in East Village (Callahan Residence Hall and Northern Terrace Residence Hall) you will arrive Parking Lot Z via Martha Collins Blvd.
When you get to your designated parking lot, stay in your car and enjoy the AC! One of Housing/Move-In Day Volunteers will take your ID to officially check-in.
While you are waiting in the car line to be released, you will be given information regarding your residence hall and room space.
If you are asked to meet with members of the University Housing Staff for any outstanding financial balances or course registration issues, we will ask you to pull into the Norse Commons loop for further instructions. This includes students living in Callahan or Northern Terrace Residence Halls.
Once you have been cleared for check-in, you will proceed to your Residence Hall...yay!!
When you get to your unloading area, one person must remain in the car while our move-in volunteers unload your items and assist you with bringing your items to your room. Please do not leave your car unattended.
Our goal is to get the items out of your car within a few minutes of arrival to your unloading area. When all your items have been unloaded, you will be directed to one of the following areas to park.
Your car will only be allowed once through our unloading process in order to keep the move-in flow of traffic going.
