You will receive instructions for a drive-through check-in process starting at Winthrop
Lake (1162 Eden Terrace, Rock Hill, SC 29730). There you will receive your room key
and check in. You will then proceed to your assigned residence hall on the main campus
to move in.
Parking lots/spaces immediately outside of your residence hall will be Unload Only Areas. You should pull up to the unload area and should 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 participating in early arrival groups must have an invitation from the sponsoring
department. No early arrivals outside of prearranged groups are allowed.
New Students
- Detailed information about your arrival date can be found in your Pre Check-In Confirmation
e-mail.
- If you are planning to bring a car to campus, you will need to purchase a parking
permit from the Winthrop University Police Department. Additional details regarding
permit cost can be found by logging on to the online parking permit request page. For students, when a vehicle is registered with the Winthrop University Police Department,
the cost of the parking permit is automatically charged to your student account. Students
can pick up their parking pass at the Winthrop University Police Department when they
arrive on campus.
- It's never too early to begin the packing process. Start by knowing what you can bring to campus (PDF-502KB) this year in addition to what items are prohibited (PDF-406KB) in the residence halls.
- Loft Pick-Up: If you purchased a loft bed from Timbernest you can pick it up on Friday
August 18, 2023 from 8am-3pm at the loading dock of Dalton Hall on Winthrop's main
campus. If you are interested in learning more about TimberNest Lofts click here.
- All residence halls have elevators except Margaret Nance and Roddey Halls. Residence
Life does have a limited number of moving bins; however, we recommend you bring a
handcart for your move-in if you own one.
Required Quarantine & Isolation Plan
All residential students must submit a Quarantine & Isolation plan of action to Residence
Life in Eaglesnest outlining their intentions of where they will go to quarantine
or isolate. You will submit your plan when selecting your move-in time slot during
your Pre Check-In Process.
Example: If I were to need quarantine & isolation housing, I will drive to my home
in Irmo, SC and stay with my family. I will have a place to stay for the necessary
time I need to quarantine and/or isolate. If for some reason I were unable to go home,
I will stay with my aunt in Simpsonville, SC.
