Requests
We recognize that you may have circumstances that require you to arrive on campus sooner than your assigned Move-In Day. We will be accepting early arrival requests June 17 through July 1.
Early Arrivals
Residential Education and Campus Housing (REACH) relies on summer conference group revenue to keep student rent as low as possible. This means we try to accommodate as many groups as possible over the summer and into August, causing a tight turnaround for summer conferences to academic year student residency. Therefore, we can ONLY accommodate students who need to arrive early if they are required to check-in early due to their employment/connection with a Sonoma State University department or program.
Residents must meet one or more of these requirements in order to be eligible to apply for Early Arrival:
- Attending the International Student Orientation Program
- Participating in athletic training
- Involvement with an approved university program
- Students with a disability-related need to occupy their housing assignment earlier than their scheduled move-in date.
Contact your advisor/supervisor/coach about arriving early. There will be a per day charge to arrive early, so please connect with your advisor/supervisor/coach about costs. Any out-of-pocket expense, not covered by the student’s department, are the student’s responsibility and will not be covered by the student’s Financial Aid
