Student Move-In

Also be mindful that some undergraduate students will be moving into residence halls February 18-21. In undergraduate classes, faculty should not make assignments due or schedule tests on Feb. 18-19 to accommodate these students. Students will be asked to schedule move-in around their classes to the extent possible. Affected students will be provided an email from Housing and Residence Life that can be forwarded to their instructor as verification to be excused for their absence during their assigned move-in date, if needed. Please refer to this procedure for further guidance.
