The last day to submit an Early Arrival Request was on Friday, August 1. As explained in the Housing move in letter and email, if the Early Arrival Request was not submitted on time, there may be a fee charged or you may not be able to arrive early. All requests will be reviewed, and residents will be notified via their USCA email no later than Tuesday, August 5.
Check-in for all residents will take place in the B Parking Lot, located just as you enter into campus at the stoplight at Scholar Loop and University Parkway. All residents will be asked to use the Scholar Loop Entrance, where the stoplight is located on University Parkway, for move in. If you use 119 Scholar Loop, Aiken, SC 29801 as the address in your GPS, you will be brought directly to the B Parking Lot. Once you have gone through the check in process in the B Parking Lot, you will be directed to the correct parking lot for your community. Please note that the gates off of the Bell Parkway will be closed and operate as an exit only during the days of move in. The USCA Map may help you locate the University Parkway entrance to University Housing.
Yes. We require all residents and their families to come at the time that they have selected to move in. Move in times will be checked at the Pacer Downs and UPD entrance to University Housing.
Absolutely, please bring friends and family to assist you with moving in. However, you will only need to sign up for one move in time slot.
University Housing will have buggies available for you to check out at no cost. They are available on a first come, first served basis, however, by having specific move in times, the supply of buggies should remain steady throughout the move in days.
The check in process will happen at the B Parking Lot at the front of the USCA campus. See above for more information on the location. Once you have completed that process, University Housing staff will direct you to the correct parking area, depending upon which building you are moving into for the semester.
Your Resident Mentor will meet you on your move in day and a floor meeting will be held, so you are able to discuss important information about living in University Housing.
Yes--on both counts. Please check out our helpful What to Bring list as you plan for moving into University Housing in August. You may also find information on the size of the rooms and the windows on that webpage.
