9:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Please pick up your room key outside of Graham-Lees Hall on Washington Street. Turn over your key to your family and our W&L upper-division students will assist your family with the move in process while you proceed across the street to Early-Fielding to receive registration and orientation material. Within just a few minutes you will catch up with your family in your room to begin unpacking. All students are required to check-in including Leading Edge participants, pre-season athletes, transfers and international students.
