Students Move Out Across Campus This Week

The end of the spring semester means more than 6,000 students are moving out in the coming days. 

Be prepared for students and visitors packing up across the 20 residential communities on campus that provide housing. 

Traffic should peak between Wednesday and Friday of this week. 

University Housing will transition from student housing to summer conferences following commencement this weekend. 

'RED' PARKING OPENS UP 

Resident reserved "red" parking lots open to most university parking pass holders beginning Monday, May 13, after Spring Commencement. 

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

LEAVE GREEN AND DONATIONS 

University Housing partners with Habitat for Humanity, Potter's House, the Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry, and the Office for Sustainability during move-out to keep items out of the landfills that the Northwest Arkansas community could use. 

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 works with Habitat for Humanity and Potter's House as local non-profit partners. 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. 

The Office for Sustainability offers a bike donation drive that allows students to donate old bikes directly to the local nonprofit Pedal it Forward. Collection spots were set up near the residence halls last week. You can read more about that effort in this University of Arkansas News article.
