UCSC’s fall move-in will take place over four days, September 15 through 18, to welcome new residents to our campus. From 7 am to 5 pm each day, students will be arriving at three staging locations on the campus before proceeding to their academic year housing communities. If you would enjoy the opportunity to greet some of the several thousand students expected to arrive at this time, we would certainly appreciate your help! Please see below for information on signing up to be part of this exciting student experience!
The move-in organizers are looking for volunteers to assist at East Remote Lot 104, Performing Arts Lot 126, West Remote Lot 127, and Yellow Cart Check-in/out at the Colleges over the four move-in days. A brief description of tasks is included below, and more information will be provided at an (optional) Move-in Volunteer Training via zoom at 12 pm on Wednesday, September 14. Please add the zoom link to your calendar if you are able to attend.
