Early Arrivals
2010 Policies and Procedures
"Early Arrivals" are students who are granted special permission to move into their on-campus housing assignments before their designated check-in dates. For a variety of reasons, Furman University restricts the number of students allowed to check-in early. The designated check-in day for freshman will be Friday, August 20, 2010. The designated check-in days for upperclassmen will be Sunday, August 22, 2010 through Tuesday, August 24, 2010. All students who wish to move into the residence halls or apartments before these dates must have their requests approved by Housing and Residence Life.
Please contact the Housing and Residence Life office at (864) 294-2092 if you have any questions regarding the Early Arrivals process.
Who is granted permission to return to campus early?
For the most part, the only students who are given permission to move in early are:
1. Students who participate in campus organizations that coordinate or assist with Orientation,
2. Students who are working for a University office or department and are required to go through early training as a requirement of their jobs, or
3. Athletic teams that require early arrival for team practices or games
These students are typically required to return early to campus for University sponsored practices, planning meetings, rehearsals, or games. All groups must request and be granted permission to be early arrivals according to the Early Arrivals Group Guidelines. Early arrivals group coordinators should contact Dr. Brad Harmon, Associate Director of Residence Life, if they have questions or concerns about their group receiving permission as an early arrival.
A very small number of individual students may also be granted permission to move in early. Individuals will only be granted permission to move in early if they have extremely special circumstances that require them to move in before their designated check-in days. These individuals must request permission to be early arrivals according to the Individual Early Arrivals Guidelines.
