The number of appointments are carefully calculated to consider things like proximity of parking, availability of staff and capacity of elevators. All appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, June 25. Once all appointments for a designated time, for your hall, have been filled, you should select the next best available time. We are unable to add additional appointments. Changes made within the scheduling system appear in real-time, so check back often to see if someone else has changed their appointment time. If you have questions, you can always emailreslife@colorado.edu.

Parking permits must be printed, and placed with the QR code visible on your dashboard before arriving to campus.
To support the most efficient traffic flow, each parking permit is color coordinated, and corresponds to your residence hall assignment. When possible, printing your pass in color helps Police and Parking staff direct you to the best location, expediting your move-in.
During move-in, you will unload your vehicle from a parking lot that corresponds to the color of your parking permit. Once unloaded, you will move your vehicle to any orange (extended) parking lot.
