The fall semester Student Move-In will take place Aug. 21-25, and community members can expect changes to the usual traffic and parking patterns.
Michigan Housing is coordinating Move-In to manage the traffic impact on the Ann Arbor and campus communities. With the cooperation of the city of Ann Arbor, some streets in the immediate vicinity of residence halls will see traffic-flow alterations from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.
