Moving Carts
To help you move in your belongings easily, we offer moving carts. Students are permitted to sign out one cart at a time for one hour. To sign out a cart, go to your Welcome Station and present your Panther ID, which will be scanned. When you are done with your cart, bring your card and your Pitt ID to your Welcome Station to avoid any charges.
Wristbands
To ensure the safety of all of our students, we require that all authorized family members and move-in helpers wear a Pitt-issued wristband. Our welcome attendants (guard booths) will ask students to scan their Pitt IDs and guests to show their wristbands when they move in and out of our residence halls during Arrival.
Students should accompany all family members and helpers to their assigned Welcome Station (check-in tent), show their Pitt ID for all guests to receive a wristband.
Wristbands are only accepted during scheduled Arrival dates and times. For all other dates and times, guests must be signed in through the welcome attendant.
