What to Expect at Moundbuilder Move-In

Students must go through check-in in Mossman first, before coming to the residence halls for move-in.

We will have 5 parking slots in front of Cole and 5 in front of Wallingford. Drivers MUST STAY IN THEIR CAR as student workers come out to help unload belongings and take everything inside. Once the car is completely unloaded the driver will be directed to PULL OFF AND PARK OUTSIDE OF THE LOADING ZONES. Once the car is parked OUTSIDE OF THE LOADING ZONE the student will be able to return to their hall, pick up their room key, and begin setting up their living space.

We will have a few dollies and carts to help with unloading cars but parents are encouraged to bring dollies if they have them and want to allow students to use them to unload their cars.

Note: Don't forget to bring any tools necessary to assemble furniture.
