Stark Hall

We have partnered with University and Student Services (USS) to provide a full-service Move-in experience for all students living with us in Stark Hall. Students who move into the residence hall on their scheduled day will arrive at Stark Hall at their designated time. 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. The address to the start of the move-in unloading zone is 1600 Oakland Street.
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.
Please stay in your vehicle while USS movers unload your vehicle.
Park your vehicle at the recommended locations.
Residents will enter Stark Commons through the east doors next to the computer lab to pick up their key and other materials.
It may take a while for your belongings to get to your room.

Stark Routes and Directions

Attention: Due to increased pedestrian traffic in the area of the TWU Denton campus, we ask that you take particular care to 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 1600 Oakland St. as the arrival location for the move-in route to the unloading zone with the professional movers. This address is for Lowry Woods Apartments. Look for large signs throughout this parking lot to direct cars to Chapel Drive and the unloading zone.

If the student is pre-approved for move-in before August 18 or will arrive after 4 p.m. on August 19, they 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 Stark Hall.

Please do not be 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.

Stark Parking

Parking will be unavailable near Stark Hall August 18-19. After having your vehicle unloaded, it is recommended you park on the north end of the Light Blue Parking Lot. There will be TWU shuttle service between that area and the residence hall during move-in August 18-19.
