Yesterday, Sept. 11, SCAD released an updated schedule with the details for fall quarter move-in and orientation. This new schedule corresponds with the school’s one-week postponement of fall quarter due to Hurricane Irma and aligns with residence hall move-in dates.
Freshman students will move in Saturday, Sept. 16. Returning students, as well as new transfer and graduate students, will move in Sunday, Sept. 17.
According to an email sent out to the student community, students who relocated with SCAD to the Atlanta campus will be permitted to return to their residence halls in Savannah in the next few days. Those who have already checked in to their dorms and have keys to their rooms may return to campus on Saturday. Students will not be allowed to move in prior to Saturday due to limited food and transportation services.
Other groups of students such as resident assistants, move-in teams and orientation assistants will be contacted by their supervisors with more information regarding their work and move-in schedules. For students whose travel plans may prevent them from arriving during their designated move-in and orientation times will be able to check in until 10 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday.
Freshman students who will live on the third and fourth floors of all Hive residence halls can move in between 6 a.m. and noon on Saturday. Orientation sessions for these students will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Students living on the first and second floors of all Hive residence halls may move in between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m on Saturday. Their orientation sessions will be from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Sunday.
