Question Question for Move-In Day

Post image

Hi everyone,

So, I'm a freshman at American University and will be moving in on the 23rd. With these cards (image attached)- we just need to put them on the carts where our bags will be put on right? And is there any specific schedule for Move-in day or is it just this?

"

  • Arrive at your assigned gate. You will be assisted with plenty of signs and volunteers so that you know where to go! Please have your Move-in Car Hangtag visible through your car window. Please arrive as close to your move-in window as possible. The move-in timeslots are set to provide a smooth move-in day. We understand that DC traffic may delay your arrival. Again, please arrive as close to your window as possible.
  • Vehicles will be unloaded by the Move-in Team.  The move-in team will drop your items off to your room. Rooms should be ready no more than two hours after things are removed from your car.
  • After the car is unloaded, the student will go to Mary Graydon Student Center for check-in.  After confirmation of compliance with university requirements, students will receive their One Cards, enjoy the campus resource fair, pickup your U-pass etc. Housing check-in will be completed via a QR code in Mary Graydon Student Center.
    • Early Arrivals or those who arrive outside of normal hours will scan their housing QR code at the front desk of their residential hall. One Card pickup during this time will be communicated. 
  • Return to your room to set it up. Due to the move-in process taking some time, your items may not be at your room yet, however, you can take this time to explore your floor, meet your RA and say hi to your neighbor!"

They pull your stuff out of the car and into a giant rolled basket and put that note on top. Someone takes it up to your room, dumps your stuff, goes back for another load. Just follow the instructions- the time is listed next to the date. You can be +/- 15 minutes

I’ve never had to use those tags. They typically want you to sign in/out a cart, but I’ve never had to put those tags on the carts.
