Early Arrivals & Occupancy
Due to the increase in student organizations arriving to campus prior to move in, Residential Life will only be accepting personal early arrival requests on a case by case basis. No early arrivals will be accepted past 5pm on the Friday before new student move-in.
Please note that if an early arrival request is approved then there will be a daily fee of $65 posted to the student account. There will be an additional $65 late/processing fee if the early arrival request is made within 5 business days prior to the requested check-in date.
Students who are members of a team or club that require an early arrival should contact their coach or group advisor for additional information. Early arrival charges may still apply for these student groups.
All Housing Agreements are for the full academic year. Information specific to the 2026-27 occupancy period is listed below. These dates are tentative and may be subject to change.
