STEP 1:

Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum

(LJVM, aka the Joel)

STEP 2:

PARK AND UNLOAD

At your new community, unload your belongings and relocate any vehicle (s).

STEP 3:

MOVE-IN

Set up your space and begin settling into your new home!

Check-in at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum (LJVM, aka the Joel) at 2825 University Parkway, Winston-Salem, NC 27105, no earlier than 15 minutes before your move-in time. You can view your suggested move-in time based on your first-year community here. Check-in will be available from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m EST.

If you will be arriving after 2 p.m., please submit this late arrival form.

Students and families should park in the Pepsi Parking Lot. 

Students will go to the coliseum’s front entrance and follow the signs to check in and receive:

• Your room key
• DeaconOne (student ID)
• Mailbox key
• Parking pass for move-in
• Personal recycling tote. 
• Shuttles will be available from LJVM to campus

Once you have checked in at LJVM, write your cell phone # on the move-in parking pass, circle your building name, and place the pass in clear view in the front of your vehicle’s dashboard; you will then drive to campus. You can drive onto campus through any campus entrance, but we encourage students and families to enter via University Parkway or Reynolda Road.

Move into your room and begin settling into your new home. 

When you check in, you’ll receive a link to your Room Condition Report (RCR). You’ll need to inspect your room within 72 hours to make sure there aren't any discrepancies between your RCR and the actual condition of your room. If you find any discrepancies, note them in your RCR and notify your Resident Adviser (RA) so you won’t be held accountable for any potential pre-existing damages. 

As space is limited in each room, you may need to give your roommate and their family some space as they unpack. Similarly, you may want to ask your family for some space to spend some time settling in with your roommate. 

As you’re configuring your new space, please be mindful that our beds are not loftable or bunkable, but can be raised approximately 36 inches off the ground. Please note that all furniture included in your room must remain in your room, it may not be replaced or removed.

It may be helpful to bring some basic tools with you (rubber mallet, hammer, screwdriver, etc.) as you and your family assemble new items for your room! 

Please break down any boxes and place them at the cardboard-only stations. Only trash should be placed in the nearby dumpsters.



As you move in, don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to our community staff. We’ll be in the community to welcome you home and answer any questions you may have!

For detailed instructions on the move-in day process, please be sure to check out our Move-In Hub!

If you have any questions before arrival, we encourage you to visit rlh.wfu.edu/incoming. This will be a primary source of information from our office throughout the year! We are also available via phone at 336.758.5185 or email at housing@wfu.edu during business hours. Lastly, be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

As always, Go Deacs!
