Move Into Autumn Housing Early

SoCo and Arts Intensive students move into fall housing assignments early, giving students a chance to settle into their room and meet their new housemates before the rush of the academic year.

This happens during Get Your Move On on Friday, September 11, 2026. (Seminars that are traveling on this date will receive alternative instructions, but all travel classes will need to empty their SoCo rooms while they are on the road, and will generally return to their academic year room.)

Friday, September 11, you must pick up your fall housing assignment key at your assigned front desk's operating hours (usually between 9am-5pm). We ask faculty not to schedule anything after lunch so that you have the afternoon to move. You are responsible for toting your belongings from program housing to your autumn housing—this is why we say don't bring everything with you! 

You must return your program dorm to the assigned Front Desk between 5:00pm-7:00pm during Get Your Move On. We are hosting your dinner at the food trucks. When you turn in your key at the Front Desk you will receive a meal ticket to the food truck of your choice. Please keep in mind that if you do not return your key by 7:00pm you will be charged at least a $154 re-key fee (re-key cost changes from year to year).

Pack your belongings the Thursday before move out, so that on Friday all you have to do is move your packed belongings, return your keys, and enjoy the food trucks at the Move-Out Picnic! 

SoCo/Arts Intensive handles the paperwork, no worries! We submit all names to Housing so that they are expecting you to move in early and have your autumn room prepared. You will see a Housing Early Arrival Charge on your student bill early in the program, and before the bill is due, you will receive a credit from Sophomore College or Arts Intensive that covers the Housing Early Arrival Charge.
