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 to 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.
