Move in for fall 2020 is 8 a.m. Sunday, August 16 until 9 a.m. Thursday, August 20. At press time, we are able to provide the following details about the move-in process but will provide updates via UGA email and on the move-in portion of the housing website at housing.uga.edu/site/resources_movein_moveout

ARRIVAL TIME SLOTS
In an effort to prioritize the health and safety of our community, move-in time slots will be available to lessen the number of people consistently coming into contact with one another. In staggering check-in times, University Housing is considering how many people would be in the building at a time, including elevator use. Time slots for residence hall move in begin at 8 a.m. for participants of Greek recruitment and other special groups, including Redcoat Band. University Housing will contact eligible participants with move-in time slot information.

AUGUST 16-17: In order to reduce vehicular traffic and move-in lines, student arrival times for move in will be staggered. All residents who plan on moving in on Sunday, August 16 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. must schedule an arrival time slot. Residents checking in after these times do not need to schedule an arrival time slot and have until 9 a.m. on August 20 to check in. The arrival time slot scheduling site will open in late June. More specific information about the site and how to schedule an arrival time slot will
be shared in advance of the site opening.

AUGUST 17-20: Move-in continues round-the-clock with no time slots needed. All residents must check in to their residence hall by 9 a.m. on August 20. Move in is a busy time, please be patient and expect that elevators, parking lots and hallways will be crowded throughout move-in week. Please place all of your trash and recycling in designated locations around each building.

The check-in process varies from year to year and it is difficult to predict when the ‘best’ days and times are for students to check in to avoid lines. Check-in lines are typically not as long in the late afternoon or early evenings but again, this may vary from hall to hall. Housing staff make
every effort to minimize delays in the check-in process.

UNLOADING ZONES
On Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16, unloading zones will be established in several parking lots near residence halls to assist residents and their families with move-in. Drivers will be issued one-hour parking passes to unload their vehicles and then be redirected to long-term parking lots after unloading. Vehicles remaining longer than the one-hour time period will be towed at the owner’s expense. Maps with unloading zones and long-term parking locations for each area of campus will be distributed as they are finalized.

Students should expect to receive their mailbox combination/key and a copy of the Room Inventory Card (this is a form noting the current condition of the room that students should keep for their records). Once check-in begins, students can check in and obtain a key 24 hours a day.

DECORATION
The condition of the room must be the same at checkout as it is at check in. Residents should review the online Community Guide (available at housing.uga.edu) for the decoration policies.

MAIL
Mail is delivered by the United States Postal Service to the central mailboxes assigned in each area or hall. In University Village Housing and the Health Sciences Campus (HSC) mail is delivered by the U.S. Postal.
