Charge In Maps - Friday, August 21
We’ve carefully prepared interactive maps that are specific to each residence hall and made several changes in order for us to provide you with the best Charge In experience possible. Please be sure to follow the instructions on your map, including which campus entrance you should arrive to and where you should check-in and park. There could be significant traffic and you may be delayed if you arrive via the incorrect entrance for your residence hall.
