The early arrival process is for any student looking to arrive to campus before their approved move-in dates for the fall. First year student move-in is on August 16th and continuing (international students included) student move-in is August 18th-19th. Any student approved for early arrival will be allowed to come to campus prior these fall dates. Early arrival includes approved fall student athletes, student groups, student workers, move-in volunteers, and individuals approved via request.
Approved Student Athletes, Groups, and Employees
Individuals who are needing to arrive to campus for specific tasks related to the opening of the College of Wooster should connect with their supervisor, director, or coach to confirm their approved date of arrival. Students approved for Early Arrival through a group must complete the Early Arrival Request form. Students will be approved if reflected on the roosters communicated by the staff/faculty overseeing the arrival.
Staff/Faculty: any groups arriving early to campus must have a submitted list of individuals needing to arrive early to the Residence Life Office. Approved Early Arrivals will receive a confirmation email with instructions around August 1st.
