Early Arrivals
Any student not already in residence who arrives prior to the official return dates is considered an early arrival.
Early arrival is designated primarily for those returning students approved by a department and/or organization whose activities directly contribute toward new student orientation.
Please Note: Early arrival is not intended for students who would like to settle into their room early.
Department Early Arrival
Students returning prior to the official return dates have to be authorized by the individual department supervisors or coaches. All communications will occur between the department and the student.
Oberlin departments/offices needing student(s) to return to campus housing early should submit their request via this form. The fee for departmental early arrival per student is $42/per night. The deadline for departmental requests is July 31, 2024.
