EARLY ARRIVAL
We are continuously updating this page for the 2024-2025 academic year.
All students must use the Move-In Registration System to pre-register for a move-in
date and time (opening in late July). If you are part of an Early Arrival Group AND
if your name has already been submitted by your coach/faculty member/sponsor/etc.,
you will see your correct Early Arrival date listed in the Move-In Registration System.
Most University-related groups have a pre-set early arrival date - if your group is
listed below, you do not need to submit an Early Arrival Request.
If the Move-in Registration System does not allow you to choose your correct date,
or you need to request an Early Arrival for a reason not listed below, please submit
an Early Arrival Request (opening on July 22). Submitting a request does not guarantee approval for an early move-in date. Students
will receive a confirmation sent to their EIU email account if their early move-in
request is approved. If you request an earlier date than your group, additional fees may apply. Requests
for early move-in due to personal convenience will only be accommodated one or two
days in advance of August 15.
