Have Early Arrival?
Early Arrival has different check in locations.
In order to streamline the move in process, all students will be required to make a move-in appointment in the housing portal. After arriving during your appointment time, you will have three hours to complete your move in.
Appointment times will be staggered in one-hour increments. Each appointment time will be limited to a set number of students in each building.
