Early Return Students
Students who are sponsored as early returns should arrive on the date and time specified by their sponsor.
New Student Move-In
Members of the Class of 2028 and new transfer students who are NOT sponsored early returns should plan to arrive on Tuesday, August 27 between 8 am-12 noon. To make move-in day easier for everyone, we encourage a staggered move-in according to where you will be living. This will allow elevators and stairwells to clear out as upper floors arrive first.
- Students on floors 3 and 4 between 8am-9am.
- Students on floor 2 between 9am-10am.
- Students on floor 1 between 10am-11am.
- Students moving into ground floors or zero level rooms between 11am-noon.
