Move-in 2023: Campus Readies to Welcome Incoming Students

Photo Submitted

Move-In 2023 officially begins this week. 

The process starts as soon as today, but the bulk of the 6,200 residential students will move in between Wednesday and Saturday.  

University Housing staff invites the campus community to welcome these new arrivals and returning residential students to the university community. 

MOVE-IN ROUTES   

Move-In maps show the proper arrival routes to each residence hall. It is crucial that arriving students and parents follow these routes to avoid construction areas that may hinder their arrival.  

For more information about moving to campus, you may go to movein.uark.edu. 

Hang tags were mailed to each student who selected an arrival time online to display on a mirror or dashboard to give permission to park in the lot closest to the residence hall. Officials at the residence halls will assist those who did not select a time online upon arriving. 

PARKING CHANGES    

The last day faculty and staff can park in Resident Reserved ("red") lots will be Tuesday. Those lots must be vacated by 5 p.m. Tuesday to prepare for move-in. These lots will be used to allow arriving students close access to unload their items starting Wednesday. 

All Resident Reserved lots will re-open Saturday evening at the conclusion of the scheduled move-in activities for that day. 

STREET CLOSING   

The City of Fayetteville will block off Stadium Drive between the two roundabouts east of Adohi Hall from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday.  

This is the block of Stadium Drive just east of Adohi Hall.  

While motorists will have access to the roundabouts, they are encouraged to use alternate routes whenever possible because of student move-in traffic. Motorists are encouraged to exercise extreme caution in this area during these times.  

PARENT AND STUDENT PARKING

After arriving at the residence hall and moving their items to their room, students and guests must park elsewhere on campus between Wednesday and Saturday.  

Parents or family members who are assisting their students during move-in can park in the following locations:   

• Garland Avenue Parking Garage (Levels 4-6)   

• Harmon Avenue Parking Garage (Levels 7-9)   

• Lots on the west side of Razorback Road (non-overnight lots)   

• Lot 56 on the south side of campus 

Parking for parents, however, should only be used during the day, not for overnight parking.  

Students should park in Lot 56 on the south end of campus during move-in.  

Current parking permit holders can still park in the non-resident reserved areas previously mentioned but should remember that conditions are crowded during move-in.  

University Police will have an increased presence during move-in, with officers stationed at various places on campus to help keep traffic moving.
