SC issued laptop (you must have your ID card with you). Due to supply-chain issues, Microsoft has recently delayed the delivery of the college's order of laptops for first-year students. Microsoft has estimated a delivery later in August. In the meantime, temporary computer stations will be available to first-year students who do not have a computer or tablet. At check-in, students will be trained to access their email, Blackboard, and Self-Service. As soon as the laptops arrive on campus I.T. will host distribution events to get each student their laptop. Faculty and program directors are making arrangements to their course schedules to better accommodate students who have difficulties accessing necessary technology. 

Athletes: Finalize athletic pre-participation paperwork. All insurance information should be sent prior to arriving, or have all insurance paperwork with you when you arrive. If you get your physical before arriving, that will help you speed things up as we won't offer physicals on campus.

What to Expect at Moundbuilder Move-In

Students must go through check-in in Mossman 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. Parents MUST STAY IN THEIR CARS as student workers come out to help freshmen unload their belongings and take everything inside. Once the cars are completely unloaded the parents will be directed to PULL OFF AND PARK OUTSIDE OF THE LOADING ZONES. Once parents park their cars they are encouraged to come back to the residence hall and help their students set up their living space at that time.

If the freshmen are driving themselves the process is the same. The student workers will come unload the car while the freshmen stay behind the wheel. Once they have parked OUTSIDE OF THE LOADING ZONE the freshmen 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.
