Residential Education
Welcome back to campus! Our residence halls aren't the same without you!
- Fall Athletes and Student Leaders Arriving Early - Athletes and student leaders arriving on campus early to participate in school functions will receive an email in early August about their check in date and times. All early check-ins for returning students will take place in College Park Hall unless otherwise stated. Students should plan on arriving during their scheduled arrival time.
- Returning Students - Returning students will be approved to move in on Monday, September 2nd and Tuesday, September 3rd at their respective residence hall or a provided centralized location. Available time frames will be provided closer to move in.
Early Arrivals
Students whose plans may necessitate an early arrival for the fall semester must receive permission from the Office of Residential Education & Housing which can be requested after August 1st. Early arrivals are limited to student-athletes with scheduled practice and student leaders that necessitate living on-campus prior to the official opening of the College residences. Students will only be permitted to arrive one day prior to their on campus commitment.
Due to the need for a coordinated arrival day in order to ensure proper arrival day policies and protocols are followed, early arrivals outside of the scheduled programs are not possible. Early arrival is not available to students who want to travel to campus early with the purpose of cheaper travel or to have extra time on campus prior to classes.
If your travel plans have you coming into town prior to the morning of Arrival Day, you will need to make your own plans for accommodations.
Students who arrive early without authorization or without being sponsored by a college official or office will be subject to a $250/day room and board charge and/or may be asked to leave the college until the semester opens.
What happens on move-in day?
Plan to arrive in the one-hour time block you select. When you arrive, you will report to College Park Hall (450 Nott Street; Schenectady, NY 12308 or building #163 on the Campus Map). You will pick up your room key and officially check in adjacent to the parking area. Our team will be onsite and visible upon your arrival. From there, you will proceed to your residence and unload your belongings. You may bring family members or friends to assist you with your move.
