Some Important Considerations:

• Limited storage space prohibits the removal of existing furniture and minimizes space available for personal furniture.
• The residential community provides a gun safe for weapons storage. Personal possession of firearms is prohibited.
• Pets are not allowed in the residential community.
• Prior to packing, please review your Housing & Dining Agreement, which provides detailed information regarding items that are prohibited in the Residence Halls and Apartments.

Parking:
Students parking a vehicle at the residence halls and apartments are required to purchase and display a UAA parking permit. New this year, all members of the UAA community must purchase their parking permit online at www.thepermitstore.com. Enter “UAA” as your parking destination, and then follow the instructions to complete the transaction. Please order your parking permit prior to your arrival on campus. If you have any questions about parking on campus, please call Parking Services at (907) 786-1119.
