Weeks of Welcome Starts With The Big Move! This is officially the beginning of your JMU experience. You’ll be moving into your residence hall, reconnecting with your academic advisor, meeting your First yeaR Orientation Guide (FROG) and Resident Adviser while immersing yourself in academic and social programs to help you become acclimated to campus. Moving day Make it easy on yourself Bring just the essentials including seasonal items only needed for the current season when moving in. You can either swap out these seasonal items on a trip home or when family visits. This will help you ensure you have
enough room for what you will need immediately. Are carts or hand trucks available? Hand trucks or cart availability varies per building, so don’t count on it! Bring a dolly, handcart or wagon from home to make moving in much easier. Can’t get the car door closed? For move-in purposes only, you may have trunks and large boxes shipped to: University Services Building - Warehouse 181 Patterson Street James Madison University MSC 7007 Harrisonburg, VA 22807 Clearly mark all packages with your name, hall with room number and your campus mailbox number. Pick up your packages at the Warehouse in the University Services Building, Room 110. Please call the Warehouse Manager at 540-568-6450 with any questions.
International students The Center for Global Engagement’s International Stu- dent and Scholar Services team is looking forward to meeting you in person during Weeks of Welcome! Inter- national students have unique needs and the ISSS team offers several sessions and assistance specifically designed to address your questions and concerns. For more infor- mation visit the International Student Scholar Services (ISSS) website. We discourage bringing trailer attachments or rental moving trucks to campus, as our ability to accommodate parking is extremely limited.
The move-in dates for most first-year students are Fri- day, Aug. 16 and Saturday, Aug. 17. In the weeks before move-in, you will be able to select a move-in appoint- ment through the Online Housing Portal to ensure a time that works for you and your family. You must use the driving directions provided for your building. First things first: Get your keys When you arrive on campus, helpful staff will welcome you and you’ll pick up your keys at your assigned hall. You’ll need to show some form of ID to receive your keys.
Don’t forget to label all your items with your name, hall and room number.
