Parking

For your convenience, spaces 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 for parking illegally on grass or sidewalks may range from $30 - $60, depending on towing.

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!

You will need the following at check-in:

• A photo ID.
• Hall Council Dues - dues vary from building to building but averages $25-$30 for programming in the hall. This is an optional fee used for both educational and social programming in the halls. It also is used for the purchase of vacuums, VCRs, TVs, and microwaves, and other hall improvements as determined by the Hall Council.
• Patience. Our staff will do the best they can to check you in quickly; however, circumstances sometimes occur beyond their control that may slow up the process. Remember that many of our check-in days have been fairly hot so a little extra patience could make the day go more smoothly for everyone!

Early Arrival Requests

Due to the increase in activity on campus during the three weeks preceding opening, only students who have received prior written approval will be allowed to check-in earlier than Saturday, August 23th at 9:00am. Requests for early check-in must be submitted in writing to the Residence Life Office by August 1st.

(Requests must have an address/phone number and preferably an e-mail address). For those requests that are approved, there will be a $20 per night charge billed to your student account.

However, since approval is not guaranteed, 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.williamsburghotel.com.

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.
