Early Arrival Permission

Early arrival permission is limited to students who need to be on campus prior to the beginning of the academic year/semester because of an on-campus job/research, athletics, student leaders or pre-orientation program and have approval from their supervisor, coach or faculty/staff program leader.

If a student has a personal reason for requesting permission to arrive early, the request will be reviewed, but likely not granted. For personal requests, if approved, a $75 housing fee for each day prior to your scheduled move-in day will be billed to your student account.

To request early arrival permission, please submit a Student Request to Arrive Early form. Fall semester requests need to be received by Tuesday, August 24, 2022 at 5 p.m. Requests received after the deadline will not be reviewed.
