Where do I go?
Students should report directly to their assigned building. Staff will be available to check you in and make sure you can get into your room.
Where do I park?
You can drive to the front of your assigned building and park to unload belongings. We do ask that you move the car once all of your belongings have been unloaded to give the next person access.
Why do I have a roommate when I requested a single room?
We offered single rooms to all students as space allowed. We have had to double some rooms in order to accommodate all of our residential students.
