Cars left parked in the loading zone after 5 p.m. may be towed at the owners expense.
Pre-Opening Mailer
The Pre-Opening Mailer will be sent to students' home address on July 15. Included in this piece is a packing list, Emergency Medical Contact Information card, Loading Zone Pass, and other information you may find helpful when preparing to move to GCSU.
