Winter Move-In Maps & Details
Students should follow the recommended route found in the January Move-In Map as traffic will be one way on Residence Road through the rolling undergraduate move-in period.
All students will enter from Middle Entrance and immediately go to Oscar Peterson Hall for a Health Screening and Key Pick-up. Once both are done, students can head to their area of residence.
