For New Students/NSO Participants*

Arrival Date & Time

Welcome! We are excited to have you. Move-in on Monday, August 19 will take place between 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Prior to your arrival to the Colorado College campus, we encourage you to take care of your off-campus shopping and any other needs, as this will be a busy day full of moving in and activities!.

*Students arriving for approved early arrival programs such as Bridge, Fall Athletics, and International Student Orientation will receive information directly from their program administrators, and will still be required to check-in for NSO on Aug. 19.

NSO Student & Family Check-In (on August 19)

Your first stop upon arrival to campus will be the Orientation Check-in Tent on Tava Quad which opens at 7:45 am, where students will pick up their NSO nametags, CC ID/Gold Card (be sure to upload your photo in advance; step by step instruction video), verify your immunization paperwork has been completed (a requirement before moving into your hall), and receive other helpful NSO information.

*Students who arrived early for the Bridge Program, International Orientation, or Fall Athletics must also check-in at the NSO tent on August 21st to receive their nametag and check in for NSO.

We anticipate check-in will be busiest between 8:00 – 10:30 a.m.; thank you for your patience. Short-term parking for check-in will be available at the following locations:

Parallel, street parking is available curbside on northbound Cascade Avenue and Cache La Poudre St.

Metered city street parking (payment required) is also available on Tejon and Dale Streets outside of the Yalich Student Services Building.

Move-in

After you have checked in for NSO if arriving on Monday August 19, you can then proceed to your residence hall for move-in. The residence halls will open promptly at 8 a.m. for move-in. Please do not attempt to access the halls in advance. Thank you! During move-in, you will have help; there will be RA staff, move-in staff, Priddy leaders, and professional staff.

The address of your hall's check-in and unloading area is:

South Hall: 130 E Cache La Poudre St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903
Mathias Hall:1112 N. Nevada Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903*
- For students in Arthur or Heckman House, you will pick up your key from Mathias Hall before continuing on to your residence hall.
Loomis Hall: 1104 N Cascade Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80903^{^}
- For students in El Diente, McGregor, or Montgomery, you will pick up your key from Loomis Hall before continuing onto your residence hall.

Immediately after unloading belongings at move-in, vehicles should be moved to visitor parking areas within the Robson arena parking garage (accessible from 112 E. Dale St.), the Library Parking Lot (accessible from 100 E Uintah Ave.) or available street parking along Nevada Avenue.

We have created NSO traffic flow and parking map below to help make your move-in experience go as smoothly as possible.

What to Bring to Campus

We have created a 'what to bring' list that should get you started! It can be found here.

Please also be sure that you have submitted your completed immunization/health paperwork within your admission portal prior to coming to campus.

Parking on Campus

On-Campus Parking permits will not be enforced during NSO. We do, however, expect that students and their guests abide by other posted signage (i.e., fire lanes, no parking, accessible parking, service, etc.). Guests are encouraged to park in Robson Garage, Library Parking Lot, or on available street parking during family orientation.

For NSO check in, you have 2 free and close options:
- 1. Park along Cascade (East and West) just north of Cache La Poudre.
- 2. Park in the Robson Garage. Free off-street parking is available in the Robson Arena Parking Garage (which is about a block away from Tava Quad and accessible from 112 E. Dale St.)
- Once you have checked in for NSO, you will drive your vehicle to your designated move in area (see above).
Accessible parking is available in the Armstrong Hall Lot (accessible from 130 E. Cache La Poudre St.)
Metered city street parking (payment required) is also available on Tejon and Dale Streets outside of the Yalich Student Services Building. However, Free parking in Robson garage is just around the corner of these metered spaces.
The Library Parking Lot (accessible from near 50 E Uintah Ave.)
Street parking along Nevada Avenue or W. Cache La Poudre St.

As a reminder, Colorado College does not allow first-year students to have a car on campus. Students requesting disability-related parking consideration should contact Accessibility Resources at accessibilityresources@coloradocollege.edu.

Please note: On-street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods is now limited to residential permit holders through the city of Colorado Springs, Monday - Friday between 7 a.m and 5 p.m.; therefore, we strongly discourage students from relying on this as a viable option. We do, however, have many transportation services available to our students who do not have access to a car. Campus Safety offers Safe Ride shuttles throughout the week within the immediate vicinity of campus and to grocery stores; the Office of Sustainability partners with Pike Ride and Mountain Metro to provide students free access to the local transportation options; and the Worner Desk offers one-way airport shuttles before extended breaks for a small fee.
