Move-in Day Traffic Information
Welcome Week at OBU is a favored tradition on campus that kicks off the new school year and welcomes our new class of students. What awaits them are exciting activities and events that showcase OBU traditions, our storied history and the many ways to get involved as they start their journey on Bison Hill. This page is an example of arrival information for incoming students.
For New Students/Transfer Students moving in:
- If you are moving in early to housing for athletics, please dismiss the arrival information and follow the instructions from your coach and Housing.
- Arrive as close as possible to your registered move-in time.
- Book your Move-In Time!
- Label all your belongings (boxes, containers, larger items) with your residence hall and room number. You will have help moving your belongings into your housing.
- We ask that all new students moving on campus to enter on W. MacArthur St. via Highway 177—do not arrive from Kickapoo St. If you are arriving to Shawnee from I-40, this will be exit 181, south on Highway 177, and then left onto W. MacArthur St.
