Students choosing to arrive on Thursday, August 24th or Friday, August 25th, must register using this form 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.
