Residence Life is offering some opportunities for students living in campus housing this fall to return to the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Campus up to two days before their scheduled move-in date.
Eligibility:
- are registered for the Fall 2026 Semester,
- have made the required payments for the Fall Semester,
- are not living in OSCA locations or off-campus, and
- have a special circumstance or are participating in a certain group/opportunity, making it important for them to be permitted to arrive earlier than the scheduled move-in dates.
Students who qualify may request to arrive up to 2 days before the date listed above.
If you are granted permission to arrive early, the daily rate will be $84/per night.
If approved, some students may not be able to move into their fall room right away and may be given a temporary assignment until the scheduled move-in date. It is likely that the temporary assignment will be a double occupancy room.
Students who arrive on campus without prior authorization will be charged $250/per night.
To register: Link will be available at a later date.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ departments/offices needing student(s) to return to campus housing early should submit their request via this form. The fee for departmental early arrival per student is $42/per night. The deadline for departmental requests is July 31, 2026.
