Early Arrival Program
An Early Arrival Program is offered for students who have a compelling need to move into their fall housing assignment before the scheduled move-in date for their college or residential facility.
To be eligible a student must meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Student is employed by a program, department, or college that requires them to start working prior to the start of the fall quarter
- Student is associated with a program, department, or college that has invited or requested their participation in a pre-fall quarter training or orientation program
- Student is a university housing resident for the duration of the summer
- Student's move-in date is scheduled to occur during a religious holiday. Student may request an early move-in by contacting the Housing Coordinator at their college or residential facility. There is no additional charge to move in early for religious reasons. Please note: the academic calendars starting with 2011-12 have been developed to avoid scheduling conflicts with major religious holiday. For more information please see the UC Policy for Addressing Religious Holiday Conflicts with Residence Hall "Move-In" Days (PDF).
Interested campus groups should contact the Early Arrival Program by email at: earlyarrivalprogram@ucsc.edu for more information.
Eligible students (based on the above criteria) interested in arranging for an early fall move-in should contact their employer or the UCSC program inviting them to participate in pre-fall quarter training or orientation programs. The employer or program will need to submit a request to the Early Arrival Program in order to participate.
