VALDOSTA -- From Wednesday-Friday, Aug. 11-13, almost 3,000
students will settle into residence halls for the new academic
year. Valdosta State University's Office of Housing and Residence
Life has planned the annual event so that it flows smoothly and so
that student needs are met quickly and effectively.
More than 300 volunteers are already registered to assist new
students and more are anticipated. Each volunteer -- even those
participating as part of a campus group or organization -- must
registered individually to receive a free t-shirt and "snack pack."
All student volunteers will have an opportunity to move on campus
early. Sign up to help at http://services.valdosta.edu/housing/signup.aspx
.
For the safety and well being of families on campus, only
registered volunteers will be allowed to assist with move-in day.
Off campus vendors should register to participate in The Happening
or reserve space in the Student Union by calling Robin Vickery,
229-333-5674.
Students who are registered to volunteer, athletes and several
other groups will move in on Aug. 8. Freshmen assigned to
Patterson, Reade, Converse and Georgia Halls will move in between 8
a.m. and 3 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 11, and those assigned to Lowndes,
Hopper, Brown and Langdale will move in from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Thursday, Aug. 12. Upperclassmen assigned to Centennial, Georgia
and Hopper will settle in from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Friday, Aug.
13.
Families should plan to unload items quickly in the
appropriate unloading zone then park cars to allow room for other
families. To view a map of campus entrances and move-in times, go

VSU community members are encouraged to be considerate as the new
students arrive by assisting with directions and questions as
needed as well as avoiding parking lots on main campus and the
surrounding lots on Georgia. Faculty and staff members will be able
to park near the Office of Admissions, the University Center, the
Alumni House and the Oak Street Deck and surface lot. Other parking
updates and changes, as well as a campus parking map, can be viewed
on the Parking and Transportation website at http://services.valdosta.edu/parking/
