The only pets allowed in university housing are fish in an aquarium with a capacity of 10 gallons or less. All other pets are prohibited, and when discovered will likely lead to expensive cleaning charges and possible disciplinary action for violating university policy.
Checking in early (early arrival) may be possible if you have a university-affiliated program or personal need that requires you to move in before the regular check-in date. You will need to submit an online Early Arrival Request.
If you are granted early arrival, you will be charged $75 per night for each night you move in early. Residents who arrive without approval may be turned away; those who can be accommodated will be charged a $200 per-night fee.
Please see Requests for Early Arrival for more information.
