Moving in/Out
Move-in day for residence halls and scholarship halls is a very busy time in which hundreds of families need vehicle access to very limited spaces. In order to accommodate everyone, vehicles are only allowed to park in the residence hall lots for 10 minutes each on those days.
Important Note: The 10-minute limit on move-in day applies to vehicles with Housing permits, as well. If you have a Housing permit, you will be able to park in your designated Housing lot at the end of the move-in day.
Student Housing will contact residents before move-in day with the designated timeframe they should arrive based on their housing assignment, and instructions for parking before and after unloading your vehicle.
Unloading During Move-in Day
When a vehicle arrives at the designated residence hall for unloading, drivers will park as directed and stay in their vehicle while a representative from Student Housing will assist with the unloading of the vehicle. Once the vehicle is unloaded, it should proceed to the designated long-term parking area. Parking attendants and KU Public Safety officers will be directing traffic to help vehicles get to and from unloading areas.
