This hard work will continue as we welcome new students for Move-in on Aug. 19 and 20. Teams from Academic Affairs, Housing and Dining Services, and Parking and Transportation have led the planning efforts for the arrival of our new students and we are now asking that you join us in this effort to ensure that Move-in goes smoothly.听

As some of you may recall, last year鈥檚 Move-in was not a smooth experience for many of our students and their families due mainly to traffic and logistical snarls, some of which badly congested city traffic. To ensure a welcoming and efficient process this year, our teams are taking the rare-but-necessary step of limiting traffic on campus by restricting parking on the entire CU-麻豆影院 campus on Aug. 19 and 20.听

Except for ADA permits, I have approved the request from Parking and Transportation Services to close parking lots on main and East Campus so we might open these lots to Move-in students and their families.听

Clearly, this will have an impact on our employees and business operations, and I thank you for your support of this effort to create a more positive move-in day experience for students and their families.听

I am encouraging our entire campus community to take public transportation, bike or walk to campus. I too am making alternate transportation plans and ask all of you to join me in this effort.听

The following website provides additional information about university operations for Aug. 19 and 20: .听
- Campus leadership and managers will work with employees to make alternate arrangements to telecommute or take accrued leave for those days.听
- Any campus departmental organizational meetings or events during the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. should be rescheduled if possible, or their attendees advised of the logistical challenge on these dates.听
- A limited number of special parking permits on East Campus (including both the Marine St. and Discovery Dr. zones) will be available for those days for employees who show that alternatives will not work. A process through which current permit holders will request a special parking permit for those days is being finalized.
Many faculty, staff and Cabinet members will volunteer during the Move-in effort. This is a great opportunity for you to participate in the launch of our academic year and a chance to get to know our students and their families. You can volunteer for one or both days by visiting .
