Moving into your college dorm is a whirlwind of emotions, but mostly, it's the exciting
start of a brand new adventure. To help you navigate this exciting time, we've put
together a guide for your 2024 move-in at Madonna University.
Parking and Check-In:
- Before you hit the road, download and print your move-in parking pass. Display it proudly on your dashboard!
- Once you arrive on campus, head to the Franciscan Center Gathering Space. A campus
map is available on the last page of our official 2024 Move-In Guide. Don't worry if you get lost, feel free to ask any of the friendly faces on campus!
We're more than happy to help you find where you need to go.
- In the Franciscan Center, you'll get your room keys and attendants will direct you
to the appropriate loading zone. Remember, you'll have 20 minutes to unload at the
curb. Please be respectful of this time limit to keep the flow smooth for other Crusaders!
After unloading, you'll be able to park in a designated lot while you unpack.
