It’s an exciting time on campus as Move-In 2021 officially begins today.

The process starts as soon as today, but the bulk of students will move in between Thursday and Saturday.

University Housing staff hopes all of the campus community will welcome these new arrivals and returning residential students to the U of A.

Housing recommends all residential students be vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to arrival. The use of social distancing and face covers is also strongly encouraged.

For the latest information about the university’s response to the pandemic, please visit the COVID-19 Response webpage.

 

 

Parking Changes

Faculty and staff will not be able to park in any of the red resident-reserved lots during move-in dates.

Resident reserved parking that will not be available includes lots 6, 22, 30, 37, 40, 41, 48, 40A, 50, 64 and 77.

Incoming students and parents will use those spaces during move-in, as well as Lot 62 (a yellow faculty and staff lot) and the first level of the Stadium Drive Parking Garage.

Lot 62 and Stadium Drive Parking Garage’s first level will be closed to university employees between 5 p.m. today and Saturday.

 

Street Closing

South Stadium Drive will be closed between the roundabouts from Clinton Drive to Nolan Richardson Drive beginning at 7 a.m. today for student move-in.

This is the block of Stadium Drive just east of Adohi Hall.

While motorists will have access to the roundabouts, they are encouraged to use alternate routes whenever possible because of student move-in traffic. Motorists are encouraged to exercise extreme caution in this area during these times.

 

Parent and Student Parking

Parents or family members who are assisting their students during move-in can park in the following locations:

  • Garland Avenue Parking Garage (Levels 4-6)
  • Harmon Avenue Parking Garage (Levels 6-9)
  • Lots on the west side of Razorback Road (non-overnight lots)

Parking for parents, however, should only be used during move-in dates, not for overnight parking.

Students should park in Lot 56 on the south end of campus during move-in.

Current parking permit holders can still park in the non-resident reserved areas previously mentioned but should remember that conditions are crowded during move-in.

University Police will have an increased presence during move-in, with officers stationed at various places on campus to help keep traffic moving.

 

Move-In Routes

Move-In maps show the proper arrival routes to each residence hall. It’s crucial that arriving students and parents follow these routes to avoid construction areas that may hinder their arrival.
