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 upper-class students in campus housing for Fall 2023 who wish to return up to two days early. 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.
Individual students are not allowed to arrive early before Thursday, August 24th. 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.
