Campus Community Members,
As the university community prepares to begin a new academic year, it is time for student “move-in “days Wednesday, August 21st through Sunday, August 25th. Peak congestion for first year student move-in is expected Friday, August 24th between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. UNH Police, in collaboration with UNH Parking Services, will close selected parking lots on the evening of Wednesday, August 21st.
Over the years, we have developed proven strategies for managing the experience for students and their families. The process works well thanks to the outstanding cooperation from faculty and staff whose work is less directly related to move-in and accommodate this annual request for patience and flexibility. Please consider, with the approval of your supervisor, altering your arrival and departure times or, working virtually from an off-campus location especially on Friday August 25th.
Most of the campus parking lots will be “CLOSED” for staging to support student move-in operations. If you must commute to campus on any of these days, please be aware of conditions that may impact travel and parking (and that could result in cars being towed at the owner’s expense if they are left in lots designated as “closed”). Please anticipate and be prepared for last-minute changes and additional directions from the UNH Police who will be supervising parking and traffic during move-in days. For more information, please email or call Deputy Chief Steven Lee at steven.lee@unh.edu or 862-1427.
