Student Move-In

Information for move-in is available below. For students who need to move in early, an Early Move-In Request form is available through the eRezLife portal. To ensure an efficient move-in process, requests must be made as early as possible. It is very difficult to accommodate last-minute early arrival requests.

During the week of June 10, students will get access to their Room Assignment Confirmation Letter by an email from Residence Life. Below is a chart related to move-in dates.

For new International students, see our International Student Pages.

Fee schedules table
Requests made prior to July 1 $35 per night
Requests made between July 1 and July 31 $50 per night
