When you Arrive

Unloading

When you arrive on campus please place your parking pass in the window and proceed to your designated unloading zone.

Cart Stations

Fill in your cart slip before you leave home. Once you have parked your group will go to your residence hall’s cart station. At the cart station all friends and family here to assist you will receive wristbands as a security measure. They will also be given a cart to help with the move-in process.

Wheeled carts are available to help you move your belongings into the residence halls. There is a great demand for carts during move-in.

As a courtesy to your fellow students, please return your cart immediately after unloading. See the reverse side of your cart slip, found in your Arrival Survival packet, for cart usage information.

Bruce, Brackenridge, Holland, & McCormick Tent at the corner of Fifth and Bigelow Blvd. or PS lot

Towers C BQ Lot (Fifth Avenue and Bouquet Street)
Lothrop Hall Lobby Area
Forbes Hall Second Floor
Sutherland Hall Loading Dock Area
Panther Hall University Drive Lobby Entrance
Pennsylvania Hall University Drive Lobby Entrance

Wristbands

All members of the group must be present at the cart station to receive a wristband to gain access to the residence halls.

The group will then temporarily split up.

Residence Hall Check In

The student will go to their residence hall’s key/card table to gain access to his or her room. At the check-in station the student's Panther Card will be activated and they will receive a pin number. The combination of a card swipe and the pin number will open the resident's door. While the student is at the check-in station, parents and any other friends or family should return to the vehicle and begin unloading. The group should then reconvene at the car and finish unloading as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Questions?

The Arrival Survival Team thanks you in advance for your cooperation! If at any point during your move-in you have questions or concerns our friendly Arrival Survival Volunteers will help guide you.

As mentioned before, the goal of the Arrival Survival Staff is to ensure your arrival on campus is as pleasant, seamless, and stress free as possible!
