Early arrivals
Students who need to arrive before residential communities open for the fall semester must be approved through the Student Affairs office. Students who are part of a campus organization, sports team or other large groups will have their early arrival details arranged with their advisor, coach or supervisor. Individuals who wish to request an early arrival should fill out the early arrival request form on their portal under the housing & dining tab. Note: We will not approve any individual early arrival requests for dates prior to Saturday, Aug. 20.
