University of California, Santa Cruz: Can my student move in early?
DIRECT ANSWER
Yes, for eligible students approved through the Early Arrival Program; fees and available dates depend on the approved category.
For fall 2026, UCSC published early-arrival options for summer-to-fall residents, employment/training or orientation needs, disability needs, religious conflicts and exceptional circumstances. Published options included September 1, 11, 14 and 16 arrivals with corresponding fees.
