The end of the spring semester means more than 6,200 students across campus will soon move out. Be prepared for visitors and students packing up across the 20 residential communities on campus that provide housing.

Traffic should peak between Wednesday and Friday of next week.

University Housing will transition from student housing to summer camps following commencement weekend on May 12-13.

University Housing's largest summer event, the 2023 Walmart Annual Shareholders' Meeting, begins Wednesday, May 31, across campus.

'Red' Parking Opens Up

The resident reserved "red" parking lots will open to most university parking pass holders beginning Monday, May 15, after Spring Commencement.

You can find several parking reminders for the campus community in this University of Arkansas News article from University Parking.

Leave Green and Food Donation

University Housing partners with local non-profits and the Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry during move-out to help keep items that could be used by the community out of the landfills.

Students are encouraged to "Leave Green" by donating items in special bins in the residence halls as they leave campus. Each year, tons of donated items are repurposed and reused.

In collaboration with Residents' Interhall Congress, University Housing selected Habitat for Humanity and Potter's House this year after an application process earlier this spring. Those agencies will drive around the residential halls this week and pick up the donated items from designated locations.

A similar drop-off bin process allows students to donate unused canned goods and other foods to the campus food pantry.
