First-Year Orientation Shuttles for Day 1
First-Year Orientation shuttles are only provided at the times and locations listed below. These are only available on Day One of Orientation where overflow parking may be used. We encourage you to walk, when possible, to get a better sense of campus and to replicate what many students experience moving from south campus to north campus daily.
NOTE: SHUTTLES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ON ORIENTATION DAY 1* WHERE OVERFLOW PARKING IS MORE LIKELY NEEDED. SHUTTLES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR ORIENTATION DAY 2.
*Shuttles are NOT available on August 12 (Session 21). This session has a lower attendance and students are able to move in to their on-campus spaces early. We expect ample parking availability in Rams Parking Deck.
