Early Arrival Request

 

This form is intended for students who have a J-term/Spring 2010 housing assignment.

(Students being sponsored by a campus department do NOT need to complete this form)

 

Completed forms must be returned to the Office of Residence Life for approval by Friday, December 11, 2009 if a student desires to arrive prior to the following dates:

Students approved for early arrival will be informed by email and billed to their student account.

Early arrival charges are as follows:

  • Sibling of a sponsored student: $25/day
  • Student Teaching: Students who are required to return early for student teaching as part of a class requirement may do so free of charge. Along with this form, the professor of the class must approve the student's early arrival.
  • Students who live more than 300 miles away may move in 1 day early with no charge. However, a $75/day charge will apply for each day earlier than 1 day ahead.
  • All other approved requests: $75/day (these will be extremely limited)
