July 2010
Dear,
Greetings from sunny South Orange, New Jersey! It is my pleasure to welcome you to the
residential community at Seton Hall University. This letter contains critical information about moving
on to campus, your room assignment, who you are living with, and your selected Meal Plan (if
applicable).
Whether you are a brand new first year student or a senior returning for your fourth year, I’m sure
you will find our residence halls to be filled with exciting and engaging programming as well as new and
old friendships. Please get involved in your hall and on our campus – it’s a great way to meet people
while learning through our diverse offering of activities.
If you are a first year student, we did our best to assign you with peers you will see in your core
classes to more specifically meet your needs as a brand new Pirate!
For all students, please remember that Priority Points are the means by which housing is allocated
for next year so please do your best to achieve academically, be respectful of your community, and get
involved in residence hall and campus activities.
Please review the following information carefully and feel free to contact our Housing and
Residence Life office at (973) 761-9172, via AIM/Skype at HallHousingHelp, or via email
to [email protected] if you have any questions.
Please note that room change requests will not
be considered until Room Change Day on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010.

On Thursday, August 27th, you will need to have this bulletin as your parking permit. The
bulletins are symbol-coded to assist Security in letting vehicles enter campus at their
designated time. Each student is requested to move in with ONLY one vehicle.
The guard will need to see the completed dashboard tag on the next page (please print it
and fill it out BEFORE arriving at the gate).
You will then be permitted to proceed to your residence hall to unload your vehicle. If
necessary, you may be directed to a holding lot until space becomes available in the
unloading zone.
When you arrive at the curb outside your residence hall, be prepared to unload
EVERYTHING from your vehicle and then immediately move the car to a designated parking
lot, before moving your belongings into the hall.
Seton Hall volunteers will be available to assist you with unloading and moving your
belongings between 8:00am and 3:00pm. It is advisable to pack your belongings as if you will
have to carry them in and up to your room. Please make sure all boxes are labeled
with your name, hall, and room number.
There will a limited number of hand-trucks available for use during move-in.

Vehicles will be allowed at the curb for no more than 15 minutes. Unaccompanied vehicles
violate FIRE CODE and will be subject to ticketing and towing. Therefore, a licensed driver
from your party must stay with your vehicle in the unloading zone the entire time it is there.
If you are traveling alone, we will assist you.
We look forward to seeing you… Have a safe trip.
