Dates & Move-In Appointments

Moving Into Keeler or Yudof

All residents are required to schedule a move-in time to enable an efficient and organized process. Please only arrive during your move-in appointment, and confirm your schedule before making an appointment.

Saturday, August 15, 2026 at 8 a.m.

Students assigned to Keeler or Yudof are welcome to move in anytime on or after Saturday, August 15, 2026 at 8 a.m. Appointments are available every half hour.

Our goal is for you to arrive, check in, and unload your vehicle in 10-15 minutes. Your vehicle must then be moved to the designated parking locations before returning to continue unpacking.

There will be moving carts available for checkout from your building Information Desk on these dates, but no assistance will be available.

Sunday, August 16 and Monday, August 31, 2026

You can choose to move in after Saturday, August 15 anytime between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. by selecting an alternate date when making your move-in appointment.

Note: We strongly recommend Keeler and Yudof residents move in before Sunday, August 30 to avoid the road congestion that happens when students move into the residence halls.

Early Arrival Housing

International Students

Incoming international students can make a reservation in International Early Arrival Housing. This option is available to all new international students, including students living off campus during the school year.

Depending on when you arrive, new international students with a housing contract for fall may need to stay in a temporary location before moving to their fall housing assignment. Friday, August 21, 2026 is the last day to make a reservation in International Early Arrival Housing. Staying in Early Arrival Housing costs $42 per night, per person. 

International Early Arrival Housing

Domestic Students

Requests for domestic early arrival housing are only approved for extenuating circumstances. You will be placed in a temporary housing assignment. Friday, August 14, 2026 is the last day to make a request for domestic early arrival housing to move-in prior to or on Sunday, August 30. Staying in Early Arrival Housing costs $42 per night, per person and does not include dining access. 

Assistance will not be available to help you move in, but we will have moving carts available for checkout at the Information Desk of your building.

If you wish to visit Pioneer Dining Hall before Tuesday, September 1, 2026, you may purchase Dining Dollars and pay per meal.

If you cancel your housing contract, you will no longer be eligible to stay in Early Arrival Housing, and your request will also be canceled. 

Note: Requests for Domestic Early Arrival will not be available until after assignments are sent at the end of July.
