Residence Opening

  • Students are not permitted to move in or to leave luggage or other belongings in a residence before the official opening date in the fall without obtaining prior approval from residence life staff. Approval for early arrival will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The usual exception is 24 hours with a maximum of 48 hours. Students approved for early arrival will be billed a daily charge for each day they are on campus prior to their official start date. 
  • Arriving before the designated arrival time may result in referral to the community standards process and a accountability and community restorationn plan including but not limited to early arrival fees, commensurate with the amount of time a student has been on campus when they should not have been.
