Attention: Residential Student Move-In Parking and Transportation Information
Residential Student Move-in will occur from August 13 to August 18, 2024. Move-in appointments are from 9 am-5 pm. However, families will arrive on campus as early as 7 am to prepare for their student’s move-in. As a result, both the Jupiter and Boca Raton Campus will experience heavy traffic these days in and around the residential facilities of their campuses. We recommend that staff, faculty, and visitors plan for additional time when traveling on and around both campuses.
We have provided maps to better understand traffic patterns and parking during this significant time of the year. There will be an increase in Florida Atlantic University Police in and around our residential facilities to help with traffic and questions.

All residential first-year students will be moving onto campus on August 13, 2024; this will be the heaviest traffic day. Please note Orientation will be occurring on 8/14.
August 15-17, 2024, the returning student will be moving back to campus. An increase in traffic will be experienced in and around the residential facilities.
You will experience more than average traffic on University Blvd and Main Street as students/families access the residential facilities. Students and families will be parking in lots 74 and 75. There are designated spaces for faculty, staff, and visitors for early voting.
