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, grassy areas and areas intended for grass. 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. Sorry, but we will not be able to accommodate early arrivals!

Check-In Information

Room Damage Deposit
A $75.00 Room Damage Deposit must be received by the Cashier's Office by August 7th. This damage deposit is required of all resident students and is refunded within 30 days of termination of the Housing Contract, if and when the resident will not be residing in College residence during the subsequent semester and provided there are no damages to the premises and the student's college account is current. The damage deposit and RDD form should be made payable to the "College of William and Mary" and sent to: Cashier's Office, P.O. Box 8795, Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795. Since this is a deposit, a charge will not show up on your semester bill.

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 VCR for the lounge, vacuum cleaners for use by residents and the cost of a campus band that played in the Grad Complex courtyard. Apartment council dues will be collected at check in.

Outstanding Bills
Please be aware that if you have a past due bill with the Office of 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 does not carry insurance which will cover losses you might incur from fire, theft or other casualty. We encourage you to consider a personal property insurance plan or renter's insurance if you are not sufficiently covered under another insurance policy.
