We are offering first-year students the opportunity to participate in the Early Drop-Off process which allows you to move your belongings into your assigned room a day early to avoid the traffic rush of the regular move-in day. Your Resident Assistant (RA) will open the door to your room, allowing you to move your items in, and will lock it when you are finished.
You will then officially check-in on Sunday, August 17 and begin unpacking!

- Cedar-Magnolia Residential Communities - On E. 115th Street in the 15-minute parking spaces or on Finnegan's Way between Nobby's Ballpark (baseball field) and The Village at 115, House 7.
- Clarke Tower Residential Community - park in the small parking lot behind Storrs Housing on Mistletoe or the small parking lot between Clarke Tower and the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Hall.
- We expect vehicles to be in the unloading zones no longer than 20-25 minutes. Vehicles must be moved to the S-46 parking garage on E. 118th Street as soon as they are unloaded.
- There will be no move-in assistance provided by the university on this day.
- You will not be allowed to start unpacking your room. This is only to drop off your belongings. You will have plenty of time to unpack and set up your room on Sunday, August 17th.
Sign ups for a move-in time will begin on July 31 at 7pm EST. Click on MyAssignments and pull up your fall housing assignment. There are a limited number of spaces for early drop-off per residential community.
