IMPORTANT SCHEDULING NOTE:
Campus safety is our top priority. Moving Services will occasionally be required to adjust our schedule to tend to emergencies and other critical issues on campus. Our crew members are part of a larger crew that works on managing road conditions such as plowing snow in winter months and excavation projects related to repairing/restoring critical campus utility services. Storms and other urgent issues that arise unexpectedly may require additional manpower that may ultimately affect the moving crew’s ability to keep previously scheduled work.
