Moving In
Hunker Down with Housing
Each year, the University of Georgia community
welcomes more than 6,000 new students into the many residence halls in
a very condensed period. The Hunker Down with Housing program
serves to streamline the move-in process and address resident and family
feedback concerning traffic congestion, parking lot availability and elevator
service. Hunker Down with Housing volunteers work diligently
to ensure that the initial days of move-in will run smoothly and serve
our target audience first-year students. Hundreds of Hunker Down
with Housing volunteers will be located all over campus on August
12th through 14th to greet new students and parents, give directions to
area parking lots, direct traffic and generally serve as a resource for
residents and their families. Since the first Hunker Down with Housing
in 1998, volunteers have successfully moved in over 57,000 students
and helped them begin to call UGA home 2008 will be no exception!

GENERAL PARKING PROCEDURES
Parents, families, and students may drive to their designated halls on the day of move-in for short-term unloading. Once you have unloaded, you are expected to move your car to a long-term parking lot so that others may unload their cars. If you are a resident of the Brumby Community, you are required to go first to the South Hull Street Deck, also known as the staging area, and check in with a member of the Hunker Down with Housing Volunteer Staff (see map).
Brumby Community
All Brumby residents arriving on campus Tuesday, August 12, 2008, must
first drive to the parking lots on South Hull Street (see map). Signs
on Baxter and Hull Streets will direct you to the staging area. This staging
area is for the Brumby Community only. All vehicles will wait in the staging
area until space is available in the designated unloading zones surrounding
Brumby Hall. Vehicles will be directed to the Brumby Hall unloading zones
by Hunker Down volunteers as space becomes available in these parking
lots. Lots adjacent to Brumby Hall will be designated as unloading zones
and parking will be permitted for one hour in these areas.
Entrance to the Brumby unloading zones will not be permitted without an
approved pass issued by a Hunker Down volunteer in the staging area. After
this one hour time period expires, vehicles must be moved to long-term
parking areas such as the West Campus Parking Deck or other nearby lots.
Unloading zones will be strictly enforced and towing will occur if vehicles
are left unattended for longer than one hour. Brumby residents moving
in after August 12, 2008 , may drive directly to the Brumby Hall to check
in. However, the one hour time limit will still be enforced.
