Parliament Village
We have partnered with University and Student Services (USS) to provide a full-service move-in experience for all students living with us in Parliament Village. Students who move into the residential community on their scheduled day will arrive at Parliament Village at their designated time (see move-in schedule below). Once at the residence hall, University and Student Services will unload your vehicle and move all of your items into your room for you. After they have unloaded your vehicle(s), you will be directed to parking. After you park, you may go back to your residence hall where you will get your key and start unpacking. Please note: It may take several hours for your belongings to get to your room.
- Review your assigned route to campus (see route information below)
- Approaching from the south, arrive to the intersection 1510 N. Ruddell Street or 700 E. University Drive (both are entrances to the Light Blue Lot) during your time slot. DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY.
- Ensure ALL Vehicles in your party are together.
- Volunteers will ask for the student’s building and last name to verify it is their move-in time and that the student has not already checked in.
- Volunteers will provide a sheet of labels for you to hand-off to USS movers.
- Proceed along the move-in route for your building.
- Please stay in your vehicle while USS movers unload your vehicle.
- After your vehicle is unloaded, please leave the unloading area and find a parking spot. Plan for it to be far from the buildings.
- Parents, family members and friends will wait outside for the student to check in.
- Residents will enter the Multipurpose Room at Mary’s Hall through the door closest to the courtyard (west side) to receive their key and other materials and will then exit through the door closest to the Health Sciences Center.
- It may take a while for your belongings to get to your room.
Parliament Routes and Directions
Attention: Due to increased pedestrian traffic in the area of the TWU Denton campus, follow move-in signage around campus to reach your residence hall on your move-in day.
Parking close to the residence halls and apartments on move-in day will be unavailable due to unloading zones.
Directions
On August 18 and 19, please use 1510 N Ruddell Street or 700 E University Drive as the arrival location for the move-in route to the unloading zone with the professional movers. These addresses are for the entrances to the TWU Light Blue Parking Lot. Volunteers will be located along the Light Blue Parking Lot to direct cars to the unloading route or parking.
If the student is pre-approved for move-in before August 18 or will arrive after 4 p.m. on August 19, they may use the Parliament Village address of 703 Administration Drive. The student will be responsible for moving in their items on their own.
TWU Housing & Dining recommends that you follow the linked map below to make your way to the TWU campus August 18–19 once you enter Denton rather than use a map application. We have designated specific approach routes to use during move-in to ease traffic congestion Follow this link to a campus map with directions to Parliament Village.
August 18-19, there will be volunteers at canopy tents within the Light Blue Parking Lot, accessed via University Drive and Ruddell Street. Please follow instructions from the volunteers.
Please do not arrive early for your move-in time slot. Each room is assigned a specific arrival time. If you are early, you will be asked to park and wait for your time. Each student may use the unloading zone with professional movers ONE TIME. The move-in check-in tent will verify this information.
