SUNDAY— AUGUST 19

1:00-5:00 - Optional early drop off of items at residence halls.

You may move your things into your room on Sunday, Aug. 19 between 1:00 and 5:00pm. If you are traveling with your family we expect that you will then spend the night at a local hotel (see list in next section) and return for check-in on Monday morning. If you need to arrive alone on Sunday by plane or bus you may spend the night on campus. Arrangements for that must be made in advance by calling the Housing Office at 828-771-2071.

When you arrive you will stop at Kittredge lobby first to check in and confirm your room assignment. We will operate as a drive-thru so you will not need to park.

Provisional Student Meeting: Individual appointment times will be arranged for a required meeting for provisionally admitted students with Lyn O’Hare, Director of Academic Support Services. These can be scheduled for Sunday, Monday or Tuesday and arrangements can be made by calling 828-771-3012 or e-mailing lohare@warren-wilson.edu
