The Early Arrival Request form is now available in the Housing Portal for students that need to move in to their on-campus housing assignment before their official move-in date.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Complete the Early Arrival Request form.
  • A $25 fee will be assessed per night unless you’re part of a pre-approved group, then the rate varies.
  • If you plan to move in before Aug. 14, you’ll be assigned to the early arrival housing in Maple Hall. You can move to your fall assignment on Aug. 14.
  • No early arrival move in will be granted for Thursday, Aug. 15.
  • You have 90 minutes to unload your car and then you need to move it to the long-term parking lots at Jack Trice Stadium.
  • Move-in crew will not be available to help during early moves. It is a good idea to bring a cart.
  • Meal plan swipes will not become active until Tuesday, Aug. 20. There is an Early Arrival Meal Program available for students that can be used starting Saturday, Aug 17, in all open dining locations, 

Want to move in early for free? Consider joining the Move-In Crew!
