Vehicles will need to be unloaded to the curb or designated space.  Vehicles will need to be moved away from the building after unloading to a designated lot in order to provide spaces for others to unload.
2. Only one vehicle is allowed to come to the stagging lot and unload area. If you have a second vehicle that will need to come after 3:00pm on your day of move-in to unload.
3. Students should bring their own hand truck or dolly to assist with carrying items into their residential area. UConn will not be providing carts/dollies or volunteers to help move during fall 2025.
4. Please be aware that student mailrooms will not be open until the first day of classes, August 25. You should make sure to bring with you what you need until Friday August 29.
