<p>It probably varies from college to college and whether you are a new student or a continuing. My experience has always been you receive it when you check in.</p>
<p>Unless you’ve heard differently from your college with different instructions, just go to your college’s housing office and check in on your move-in day. Your temporary permit (that allows you to park in non-marked spots for unloading purposes) and your move-in permit will most likely be issued at that time.</p>
