All students must use the Move-In Registration System to pre-register for a move-in date and time (opening on July 20).  If you are part of an Early Arrival Group AND if your name has already been submitted by your coach/faculty member/sponsor/etc., you will see your correct Early Arrival date listed in the Move-In Registration System.  

If the Move-in Registration System does not allow you to choose your correct date, or you need to request an Early Arrival for a reason not listed above, please submit an Early Arrival Request (opening on July 20). Submitting a request does not guarantee approval for an early move-in date.  Students will receive a confirmation sent to their EIU email account if their early move-in request is approved.

All early arrival check-in times have been designated as 9am-12pm & 1pm-4pm.

For Early Arrival dates of July 30 to August 12, please report to Stevenson Hall to receive your keys. Beginning August 13, please report to the front desk of your hall/area. Students in Greek Court will report to the front desk in Building 8.
