Location

Students moving into all halls, except CampusWalk (see below), arriving on the 16 and 17 will proceed to the Winthrop Lake (1162 Eden Terrace, Rock Hill, SC, 29730). There you will check in and receive your room key. You will then proceed to your assigned residence hall on the main campus to move in. We structure check-in this way in order to alleviate congestion on main campus and ensure a smoother move-in process for everyone. 

Parking lots/spaces immediately outside of your residence hall will be unload only areas. You should pull up to the unload area and unload your belongings onto the curb before moving your vehicle to parking at the Cherry Road Lot (Lot F on Parking Map). You will be allowed 10 minutes to unload your vehicle. Once you have parked your vehicle, you will return and begin moving your belongings to your room.

Students arriving outside of the 16 or 17 that week will go directly to their residence hall.
