Early Move-In

Reserved for students affiliated with a University-sponsored activity that are required to live on campus before August 22, 2026. 

As a general rule, students are not allowed to live in the residence halls prior to the official opening dates in the fall unless the student is affiliated with a University-sponsored activity.
