It’s never too early to plan ahead. The nice folks at Residential Life have already posted the move in dates for fall 2011. Here’s the summary:

• Freshmen who are not attending SOAR or other special programs move in at their assigned times on August 31.
• Returning Honors students may move in on Thursday, September 1, 2011. Please note that this applies only to those whose names and z-numbers appear on the official Honors Program list.
• Honors students, like other returning students, may have their keys encoded early and move in any time from September 2-5. Here’s the official notice from the Office of Residential Life: “Attention all returning students: Beat the lines at check-in and have your student ID card encoded early.  On August 22, 23, 29, and 30 from 9:00am to 11:30am and 2:00pm to 4:30pm you can have your student ID card encoded at the Housing 4 Residential Life Office.  This will allow you to move-in anytime on September 2 or after.”
