This week we are preparing to welcome more than 9,100 residential students to our community. University Housing will open its doors for occupancy beginning Thursday, Sept. 15, and student Move-In will continue through Sunday, Sept. 18.
This is an exciting period for our students and their families, and an excellent opportunity for us to welcome them to our university and community. However, residential Move-In has impacts on campus parking and traffic and we ask for your patience and flexibility. It is important to note the following restrictions and alternative parking options:

This is an exciting period for our students and their families, and an excellent opportunity for us to welcome them to our university and community. However, residential Move-In has impacts on campus parking and traffic and we ask for your patience and flexibility. It is important to note the following restrictions and alternative parking options:
• Most of the parking lots near colleges, and all three remote lots, will be restricted for Move-In purposes on different days during Move-In. On Thursday, close-in lots near Porter College will be restricted. On Friday, close-in lots near Merrill and Kresge will be restricted. For access during the weekend, please check the maps below for details:
• Vehicles without a valid Move-In permit will be cited if they park in restricted lots. (Vehicles with disability-related permits or placards are the exception to this rule.)
• Because of these restrictions, those with A, B, or R permits may need to find alternative parking. Please check the day-specific maps for non-restricted parking options listed above. Those with R permits will be able to park in East Remote Overflow Lots 2, 4, and 5 during Move In.
• From Thursday through Sunday, one-way traffic controls will be in place on Porter-Kresge Road. Traffic will only be allowed to go from Kresge to Porter; no traffic will be allowed to drive into the Porter entrance. Those needing to access Porter must enter through Kresge.
• From Thursday through Sunday, Hagar Drive will be closed to downhill traffic at Steinhart Way. Drivers are asked to use southbound Coolidge Drive (overlooking the Pogonip) to exit campus or access areas on Hagar south of the closure.
We anticipate thousands of additional vehicles on campus for the move-in period; This creates a significant challenge for the campus community, particularly on Thursday and Friday. Principal officers and managers are encouraged to consider alternative work sites for staff members at the discretion of the supervisor, if operationally feasible. We strongly encourage the use of alternative transportation options to get to campus (such as sharing a ride with a friend or colleague) to help accommodate the new student traffic.• Vehicles without a valid Move-In permit will be cited if they park in restricted lots.
