Plan accordingly for delays in the following areas:
- West Campus.
- Techwood Drive.
- Centennial Olympic Park Drive (East Campus and North Avenue move-in).
- Tenth Street (graduate housing).
Additionally, drivers should abide by all posted signage, including parking notices and “No Parking” signs, as these areas are necessary for resident check-in, unloading, and short-term parking.
