Ignite Summer to Fall Transition

Move-out is August 2 - Summer residents should plan to transition from their summer appointment to their fall assignment on August 2, 2024 (in most cases). 

If you cannot make that move that day, you should plan to move out completely by August 2, and make a move-in appointment for Fall First-year Move-in on August 10 or 11 to move back in. 

Watch your email for communication from Housing about your transition.

Arrival Logistics

Arriving by car?

  • Look for signage directing you to iGniTe Check-In and Unloading.  
  •  Volunteers will direct you to the unloading zones.
  • Incoming resident will need a valid photo ID to check-in.
  • A driver will need to stay with your vehicle(s) during the unloading process.
  • You will have 20 minutes to unload your car.
  • As soon as your belongings are out of your vehicle(s), you will need to move to short term parking. 
  • To avoid unnecessary traffic in unloading zones, any passenger-only vehicles should skip the check-in process and go directly to short term parking before joining the unloading party.

Arriving by Rideshare?

  • Exit the vehicle at the GT Connector Check-In and unload your belongings. 
  • The rideshare vehicle will be able to drop off the student and exit the Georgia Tech check-in process.  
  • The student should approach the check-in desk and provide their ID to begin the check-in process.  

Arriving by Public Transit?

Those taking public transit should take MARTA to the Midtown/10th St station and then take the campus Gold Route to 5th Street and Techwood Dr. and take the Blue or Red Route to the Techwood and Bobby Dodd Way stop. Then, follow the signs to check-in. Find the schedule for the Bus Routes here.

Arriving Late?

Students arriving to campus via non-official check-in days should …  
On business days, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. students should go to their area office.  At the office students will receive their key and a BuzzCard if available.  Moving bins will not be available on non-official move-in days.  

Students arriving to campus after hours should…. 

If arriving after hours (after 5 p.m.) students should go to their hall and call the Resident Assistant on Duty (RAoD). The phone number for the RAoD should be posted on a blue card on or near the entrances of the buildings. The RAoD will be able to check the student in and use a master key to let the student into their room.  The next day, the student will then need to go to their area office to pick up their keys.

If arriving after hours (after 5 p.m.), please contact Erik Johnson at erikjohnson@gatech.edu prior to move-in day to inform the Ignite office of your plans.
