Moving In and Break Closures
Where do I go on check-in day?
- On check-in day you will go to your assigned Residence Hall to check-in unless otherwise notified. There you will be given your keys and your Room Condition Form (RCR). This form is important because it is where we record the condition of your room and it is used at the end of the year to bill for damages.
Can I move in earlier than the advertised check in date?
- No. We cannot allow students to move in before the official opening because our staff is in training up until the time the halls open. We work to notify every student of the time and date months in advance so they can plan accordingly. Certain students (varsity athletes, choir members, residence life staff, etc.) who are required to return to campus early may contact their faculty/staff sponsor for details on special housing arrangements.
When are the halls open and closed?
- Residence Hall closings and openings for the 2007-2008 academic year:

Can I stay in my room over the breaks?

- During any break that is 5 days or longer (other than the Winter Break) you will need permission from the Office of Residence Life to stay on campus.
