Class 32 content from before shift to virtual due to Helene saved at an unposted URL. May be useful in staging materials for Class 33.

 

All daytime programming will take place in the Plemmons Student Union on the campus of Appalachian State University.  The Wednesday evening class dinner will be held in the Grandview Ballroom of the Kidd Brewer Stadium, also on the App State campus.

A pdf with directions to all Orientation session locations is available through the “directions” button below, and directions are also embedded in the Session Workbook (link to come). Google Maps links to each location are included both documents. We recommend you download the pdf to whatever device you use for navigation and use the links to guide you to each destination.

Please register your vehicles in advance (detailed instructions below) and review all directions in advance to estimate drive times and become familiar with parking instructions. Be sure to leave enough time for the 10-15 minute uphill walk from the parking deck to to the Student Union.  If that distance presents a problem for you, let us know so we can make other arrangements.

Parking on campus is tight, and carpooling with classmates is encouraged.

Parking Registration

Important Tips

  • You will need your vehicle license plate number.
  • You can complete this process on any device, but it’s easier on something larger than a phone
  • You will need to complete this process for each day you will be parking on campus.
  • Registration can be done each day during session, but we strongly recommend reserving for all three days prior to traveling to Boone.

Registration Instructions

  • Navigate to this website.
  • In the banner to the right of the search bar, choose the date and time range for one day of parking (you will repeat this process for each of three days). Session dates and suggested parking windows are:
    • Tuesday, October 8, 1:30 – 7:00 pm (program starts at 2:00 pm, reception ends at 6:30 pm)
    • Wednesday, October 9, 7:45 am – 4:30 pm (breakfast starts at 8:00 am, program starts at 8:30 am, program adjourns by 4:15 pm)
    • Thursday, October 10, 7:45 am – 2:00 pm (breakfast starts at 8:00 am, program starts at 8:30 am, optional lunch adjourns at 1:30 pm)
  • In the column just below the search bar, choose “Filters & Access Codes.”
  • Scroll to the bottom of the options, enter the access code “lnc” (first letter is a lower-case “L”), and click “Apply.”
  • Select the green “Reserve” under the Rivers Street Parking Deck option in the left column.
  • If you do not want to create an account, select “Continue as a Guest.”
  • Repeat this process for each day you will be parking on campus.

A confirmation email will be sent to the address you enter for each day’s parking. You do not need to display anything on your vehicle. If you get a ticket on campus, email a photo of the ticket to Emily and she’ll resolve with the App State team.

Members of Class 32 shared a great list of suggestions for places to eat and things to do in Boone.  Enjoy your time in the mountains!
