The Residence Life Office hopes that you are having a wonderful summer! We are reaching out to notify you of information regarding returning to campus this fall. Campus Move-in for returning students will be open for Saturday, August 24th after 8 am OR Sunday, August 25th. Students will not be charged to arrive on the 24th or 25th and do not need to request early arrival. Students will not be allowed to return earlier than the 24th without approval from the Residence Life Office. Staff in your residential area will be available to check you in on Saturday, from 8 am to 1 am, and Sunday, 8 am- 11 pm with the RAs on duty in each area.
Individual students who would like to request early arrival can make their request through Knightlife (make sure you log in and go to the Residence Life page) and complete the Early Arrival request form, there is a $50 per day fee to arrive early. If you are approved to arrive early and end up not moving in early, you will still be charged.
If you are arriving early as part of an approved university group, (Pre-O leader, Ignite Scholar, Varsity Athlete, ROTC, etc…) your coach/advisor must provide the Residence Life Office with a list of students approved to return, you do not need to complete the early arrival form on knightlife and will not be charged.
This list can be sent to Emma Blaiklock at eblaiklo@clarkson.edu
