Parking Instructions

  1. Download and print the Move-In parking pass (PDF) and display it on your vehicle's dashboard prior to arriving for move-in.
  2. Drive directly to the Franciscan Center Gathering Space to check-in and receive your room keys. Use the campus map on the back page of the move-in guide for reference. Attendants will assist you with directions to the appropriate loading zone or staging area.
  3. You will have 20 minutes to unload your vehicle at the curb with the help of student volunteers. After 20 minutes, you will need to park your vehicle in a nearby lot as directed by the parking attendants. Please help us provide quick access parking for as many people as possible by respecting this time limit.
  4. After you park your vehicle, you can proceed back to your assigned residence hall to continue with move-in. 

Important

Move-in is NOT permitted until a student has both the Residence Hall Student Enrollment Deposit AND Housing Application submitted and processed.

Deposits are processed by our Student Accounts and Admissions Office office Monday-Friday, and can be paid online in your application status page or at the Enrollment Center, located on the second floor of the Admin Building near the main entrance.
