Fall Move-In Will Bring Traffic Delays

Aug 6, 2026

Beginning Aug. 15, the campus community should expect increased traffic and pedestrian activity as new and returning students arrive for move-in. 

Plan accordingly for delays in the following areas: 

• West Campus.
• Techwood Drive.
• Centennial Olympic Park Drive (East Campus and North Avenue move-in).
• Tenth Street (graduate housing).

Additionally, drivers should abide by all posted signage, including parking notices and “No Parking” signs, as these areas are necessary for resident check-in, unloading, and short-term parking. 

Some parking areas will be reserved for move-in use only. If you park in the following areas, see alternate parking locations for move-in days:

• W10 – Campus Recreation Deck 
  • Alternate parking location: W02 – Student Center Deck
• ER54 – North Avenue Apartments South Deck 
  • Alternate parking location: Park on levels 2 and 3 only
• WR29 – On-street parking near Armstrong/Hefner Residence Halls (West Campus Residential)
  • Alternate parking location: W31 – Institute of Paper Science and Technology (IPST) Lot 
• ER51 – On-street parking near Gray/Hayes Residence Halls (Southeast Housing)
  • Alternate parking location: E52 – Peters Deck
