Clemson Home is excited to welcome new and returning students to main campus residential communities from Monday, August 11, through Saturday, August 16. Each day, residents and families will arrive between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. for scheduled move-in appointments.

During this period, anticipate heavy traffic on main campus, particularly on Highway 76 and Perimeter Road. Individuals who are able to avoid the area during this time are encouraged to do so. Residents will be directed to the P-5 parking lot for check-in and room key collection before proceeding to their assigned residential communities for unloading.
