Early Arrival Registration

For security and other logistical reasons, residents are not permitted to check into campus housing before the established check-in dates. However, early arrival to campus housing in August will be available to all upperclass students in campus housing for fall 2024 who wish to return one day early. Students choosing to arrive on Wednesday, 21 must register by emailing their area office and will be charged a fee of $75 per night. This fee will be applied to student accounts. During the early arrival period, students are permitted to register only for themselves and cannot have unregistered overnight visitors stay with them during the early arrival period.

Individual students are not allowed to arrive early before Wednesday, August 21. In case of exceptional circumstances, please send an email to juliane.schnibbe@rochester.edu.

Many individuals requesting early arrival move-in are denied with limited exceptions. Residents are provided with the official move-in dates early in the year so that appropriate living and travel arrangements can be made. Please note that residents may not store their belongings in their fall assignment prior to their actual move-in.

Group Early Arrival

Students who are part of an approved early arrival group may move in only on the approved date or any day after that. Area Offices will be open for approved early arrivals Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. On Saturday, August 17, Area Offices will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Innovation Square students are encouraged to check in between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays but can also check in after hours with Innovation Square's security at the front desk.
