Early arrival periods
- Period 1: September 10–20, 2023
- Period 2: September 17–20, 2023
Approval for each of these periods will be based on when your program requires you to be on campus (for example, if ROTC requires you to be on campus on September 18, you will be approved for Period 2, not Period 1).
If you are approved to move in during Period 1, you may be housed in a temporary room, in which case you must move to your autumn quarter room on the morning of September 16.
Costs
Early arrival housing is charged at a flat rate based on the number of days in each early arrival housing period.
There is a $25 nonrefundable application charge.
