Returning Student Move-In

All sophomores, juniors, and seniors will pick up keys at the front desk of their residence hall (Townhouses and Circle 240 will go to Thomas Hall; Lakeside Houses should go to Finney Hall).

Early Arrivals

Students may only arrive early to campus if they are sponsored by a staff or faculty member (i.e. athletes, Resident Assistants, approved Greek students, etc.). You will need to coordinate your move in with the staff or faculty member arranging for you to arrive early.

The residence halls will be closed for Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break unless students are approved to stay. Students must request permission to stay on campus with the Director of Residence Life by submitting the necessary form prior to each break.
