Parking

For your convenience, fifteen spaces on the side near the 600 and 700 buildings have been specifically designated as unloading zones. They will have reserved signs marked Unloading Zone for Move-In: 1 Hour Limit. Please help facilitate check-in by using these areas only for unloading and by relocating your vehicle immediately after unloading. The fine for failure to move your vehicle within one hour of or parking illegally on grass or sidewalks may range from $30 - $60, depending on towing. No vehicles are allowed in the courtyard.

Remember: Parking Services will strictly enforce No Parking Zones, which include: sidewalks, walkways or grassy areas. Please help the College maintain the beauty of the campus by parking in designated areas only!

Early Arrival

If you must arrive in Williamsburg outside of the listed times, plan to make hotel reservations well in advance. Individuals who need to arrive early may find it beneficial to make arrangements with the Williamsburg Hotel/Motel Association for accommodations (1-800-999-4485) or visit their web site at www.gowilliamsburg.com. We will not be able to accommodate early arrivals.

Check-In Information

Apartment Council Dues
There is an Apartment Council which is created each year from current residents of the Graduate Complex. This council administers policies in the complex, plans social events for complex residents and purchases equipment for their use. In order to support these activities, all residents of the Grad Complex are asked to pay Apartment Council Dues of $25. These dues have covered such things as the purchase of a TV and DVR for the lounge, and vacuum cleaners for use by residents. Apartment council dues will be collected at check in.

Outstanding Bills
Please be aware that if you have a past due bill with Residence Life you will not be allowed to validate your registration until your account is cleared. To avoid such delays, please submit your payment to the Bursar's Office as soon as possible.

Insurance

The College is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage to property resulting from fire, theft, casualty or any cause, or for personal injury occurring within the leased premises, except as may be required by Virginia law. It is strongly recommended that personal property insurance be obtained by each student for his or her belongings. Renter's insurance is offered by most major insurance companies; some companies actually offer the option of a rider on a homeowner's policy to cover the belongings of students away at college. We recommend that you contact your current insurance provider to examine your options. There are also a handful of companies that specifically cater to college students; below are several examples:
