Students who wish to arrive early (whether before the standard Fall 2026 move-in dates or before the date required by a University group) need to submit an Early Arrival Application. No early arrivals will be permitted before Monday, August 17.

  • The Early Arrival Application will be available in the housing portal (under "Fall Move-In" in the orange navigation bar) on Wednesday, July 1 at noon.
  • The deadline to request an early arrival is 5 p.m. on Friday, July 31, 2026.
  • Note that if you are part of a University group that requires your presence on Grounds before your scheduled move-in date (such as Greeters or Athletics), your program leader will contact Housing & Residence Life to coordinate the approval for early arrivals.
  • Incoming transfer students who have registered to attend Orientation Session K do not need to submit an early arrival application.
  • Incoming first-year students are generally not allowed to move in before their scheduled date unless they are part of a sponsored group.
