Fall Move-in

We’re excited about your arrival on campus! Below is a detailed move-in schedule for your building. We ask that you arrive during your designated time to help us with the traffic flow on campus. Students must come between their designated times. Students who arrive outside of their designated time will not be permitted to check in and will be instructed to move out of the line.

Students who need to move in early before their designated move-in time listed above can submit a request to Residential Life. All requests must be submitted by Sunday, August 6, 2023. Submitting a request for early arrival does not guarantee approval. A student must receive approval via email from the Residential Life Office to move in early.  Students who are approved will be charged a $150.00 early arrival fee. 

If a student is a member of a theme housing community or special group that requires them to move in early, the program’s facilitator will provide their name to the Office of Residential Life. A student must receive approval via email from the Residential Life Office. The student will receive an email confirming their arrival date and time. 

The early arrival period for Fall 2023 is August 9, 2023, to August 11, 2023.

Register for Early Arrival

We will begin to accept requests on Monday, July 3, 2023.

Any student who cannot arrive during their designated time can register as an after-hours arrival (8–11 p.m.). Students will not be permitted to check in after 11 p.m. All requests must be submitted by Sunday, August 6, 2023. A student must receive approval via email from the Residential Life Office.

We will begin to accept requests on Monday, July 3, 2023.

Late-arrival students who arrive after the designated move-in period (any time after August 12, 2023) are considered late arrivals and must register to maintain their assignment. All requests must be submitted by Sunday, August 6, 2023. Any student who is not checked in by Sunday, August 20, 2023, will have their assignment removed and their housing application canceled for the academic year. Students will be charged applicable cancellation fees. A student will receive an approval email from the Residential Life Office once their request has been processed.
