Spring 2024 Early Arrival

Spring semester on-campus housing will open on February 3, 2024, at noon for students not registered for Winter Housing. If an on-campus student needs to return to campus early, they can request a one or two day early arrival. 

The cost is $80 per night and includes housing and dining. 

Spring 2024 Early Arrival Registration

Deadline to Apply: January 31, 2024

Late Fees: A $50 late fee will be applied if the application is received after January 31, 2024.  Students who arrive on campus without prior authorization will be charged $250/per night.

 

Department Sponsored Early Arrival Requests

Oberlin departments and offices can submit a request for their student workers to arrive early for the spring semester via the Early Arrival Registration. This arrangement comes with the added benefit of no housing charges. However, it's important to note that the requesting department assumes responsibility for a dining charge of $40 per person per night.
