HEARLY MOVE-IN SEPTEMBER 16TH
If you are planning to live in campus housing
(other than Family Student Housing) and want to
participate in the STARS Workshops, you may
request early move in/check-in on Wednesday,
September 16th on the response form below.
STARS early move-in requires attendance at the
STARS Workshops. The response date of August 24
is a firm Campus Housing deadline.
The STARS move-in date supercedes college movein dates that you will receive later in the summer.
A $48.48 fee will be automatically charged to your
UCSC account. The fee will cover housing plus $27
of UCSC flexi-dollars (dining credit) which can be
used during early move-in and throughout the year.
“After talking to transferring friends who didn’t attend, I realize the Workshops gave me a real advantage to adjusting and succeeding this year. I developed a sense of the academic expectations of the
university and I began to feel that I was part of a community.”
