First-Year Student Arrival
Moving onto campus for the first time is an exciting milestone. At Pitt-Johnstown, our entire campus community works together to make your arrival smooth and welcoming.
Upon arriving, you'll be directed to your check-in location based on your housing assignment. Once there, our Move-In Crew will help you unload your vehicle and take items to your room. Meanwhile, you’ll check in with staff, receive your room key and ID card (if you haven’t already), and be directed to your room.
After unloading, vehicles must be moved to designated parking lots to allow space for other arriving students.
Staff from Housing, Dining & Residence Life, Facilities Management, and Information Technology will be available to assist with any needs. All campus offices will also be open and ready to help.
Don’t forget to pick up your mailbox key at the Campus Mailroom, located on the lower level of the Student Union.
Your RA team will be on-site to welcome you and answer any questions. Once settled, you'll meet your fellow residents and RAs more formally.
It’s August, so dress comfortably. Water stations will be set up at each residence hall. Staff and faculty will be around to assist and greet you. Due to the heat and activity, we ask that pets stay home.
