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.

- 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.

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.

If arriving after hours (after 5 p.m.) students should go to their hall and call the Resident Assistant on Duty (RAoD).
