Early Fall Arrival
Prior to the start of fall semester, students may request to move into their assigned building and room before the official move-in dates as availability permits. For the most part, early arrival arrangements are approved for students to move-in to their permanent room assignments as assigned for the academic year. However, due to various summer and construction activities on campus, there is an occasional need to place students into temporary housing assignments until their permanent rooms become available. Any such need for a temporary placement is communicated directly with any student affected.
Early arrival housing prior to the start of each semester is not included in the housing contract; dining halls may be closed or have limited services during these periods. Students who request housing during early arrival agree to pay an additional room rental rate and follow all provisions stated in this contract. Students must request housing from the Campus Services Center prior to early arrival in university housing. Students may not have guests stay with them during early arrival. Other students including roommates must request their own permission to arrive early.
Sign Up for Fall Early Arrival Housing
To stay on campus prior to their official move-in day, students must submit a request online using their Online Housing Account. The sign-up form is accessed by clicking "Break & Early Arrival Housing" within the housing account page. The earliest a student can request to return to campus for Fall 2024 (without an exceptional need) is Friday, August 16. The sign-up form is only for students who are individually requesting to arrive early, not as part of a group or team.

There is not an official check-in station provided during early arrival housing. After a student registers for early arrival housing, room access is assigned to their ID card. Students approved for early arrival housing can move in anytime after 9:00am on their approved early arrival date.
