Residence Hall Arrival, Departure and Break Policies 

Early Arrival 

Overview and Goal

Early Arrival housing is meant to meet the housing needs of 51猎奇 students who are required to be on campus prior to the opening of Residence Halls at the start of a semester. 

Eligibility

• Early Arrival housing is only available to 51猎奇 students who are required to be on campus for employment or athletics and who are sponsored by a 51猎奇 Faculty/Staff member.
• Early arrival is only available to current students who have a housing assignment for the semester. Students who are on a leave for the applicable semester are not permitted Early Arrival. 
• Early arrival is not available to students who have commitments outside the College in the Clinton area.
• Early arrival is not available to students who want to travel to campus early with the purpose of cheaper travel, or to have extra time on campus prior to classes.

• Community Living will set the dates permitted for Early Arrival each semester, which will not exceed one week prior to the start of classes. If the date for programs is being set by 51猎奇 staff, the dates must match the early arrival period. Exceptions will only be made for the following:

• Students traveling internationally to get to campus may apply to arrive up to 2 calendar days prior to the opening of residence halls in order to accommodate travel arrangements. Students should reach out to Community Living to request an early arrival, and will be required to provide proof that international travel will be required. If a student is already approved for early arrival for participation in a program, they will not be permitted to arrive sooner than that approved date. 

Early Arrival Rules and Regulations

All Early Arrival residents are required to follow the policies and procedures of the student handbook.  The following are additional provisions established specifically for Early Arrival residents:

• Campus is dry for all students from the date of move-in for First Year students until Convocation. This means that all alcohol use is prohibited during this time regardless of age.
• Any violations of the student code of conduct may result in disciplinary action and a student's Early Arrival permissions being revoked, resulting in their immediate removal from campus.

Winter Break Housing

Winter Break Housing exists to meet the housing needs of 51猎奇 students who have no other options for housing during that time. Winter break housing is extraordinarily limited and only available to students with the highest financial need and no alternative options. An application will be made available during the fall semester and a committee will review and determine eligibility of each applicant on a case-by-case basis.  The location for Winter Break Housing may change each year depending on need and availability including locations not on campus. 

Winter Break housing is only available to 51猎奇 students who are housed on campus for the fall semester preceding Winter Break and the spring semester following Winter Break. The College will accommodate students with extreme and extenuating circumstances. 

If housing is not granted, the College will assist students with the logistics to find alternative housing or to make alternative plans during the Winter Break.
