Early Start Programs Move-In
Updated July 2, 2026
University Housing supports Early Start Program participants with campus housing in exchange for their commitment to support Mustang Move-in and other activities
related to fall opening.
If you are part of one of the programs listed below, you do not need a move-in appointment; however, you must adhere to the move-in dates and times agreed upon by your sponsoring program. Check-in maps will be linked below in August.
Please ensure that you are on the list sent from your program to University Housing for early move-in. If you belong to two groups, move-in with the program that has the earliest start time.
As you are arriving early, your building/room may still be undergoing preparations — including limitations to utilities and cleaning. In rare cases, some residents may not be able to move directly into their fall assignments and will be accommodated elsewhere.
