Early Move-In

The Department of Housing and Residence Life recognizes that some students may need to move in earlier than the scheduled opening of residence halls in order to meet academic or department requirements.

Effective Fall 2008, the Department of Housing and Residence Life will charge a $25 nightly rate for all approved early residence hall move-ins. This charge is to cover the cost of staffing, services, and utilities required to accommodate early move-ins. Any students who are required to return to campus prior to the scheduled opening of residence halls should keep this charge in mind. The nightly charge will be assessed to the student's Banner account unless the sponsoring department/unit requests to be billed for the charges. All early move-ins must be approved a minimum of one week in advance. Students not approved in advance will be denied access to the residence halls prior to the scheduled opening.

Requests for early move-in may be submitted by e-mail at housing@saffairs.msstate.edu, by fax at 325-4663, or by campus mail at Mail Stop 9502. Please submit requests or questions to the attention of Mike Green, Associate Director for Administrative Operations.
