When you move in and out of housing depends on the session in which you are registered.

This information is also available on the Moving In and Out of Housing page.

Arrival to Campus Housing

• Travel to campus should be scheduled so that you can move in during regular move-in hours.
• Early arrival and check-in are not permitted, so plan your travel arrangements accordingly.
• If a student is delayed due to forces outside their control (e.g., weather), they must contact their program to request approval to arrive late. Regardless of circumstances, all students must be checked-in to their summer housing assignment by the following times:

• General Program residents must arrive by 4:00 PM on the first Wednesday of their first week of classes.
• Pre-College Program students must arrive by curfew (10:59 PM) on the first Monday of their session, or else they are unable to participate in their session.
• Secondary School Program residents must arrive by 4:00 PM on the first Wednesday of their first week of classes.

• If a student is not checked into their housing assignment by the aforementioned dates, the student will revoke their housing agreement and accrue all associated fees (housing and/or program costs). If a student wishes to financially appeal, they must file an official housing appeal to housing@summer.harvard.edu, however there is no guarantee that their appeal will be approved.

Departure from On-Campus Housing

• Students must move out of their summer assignment after they have taken their final exams and/or attended their last class meetings.
• Student ID cards and access to the residences will expire at these times.
• Specific guidelines for departing on-campus housing will be distributed to students the week before their departure.

• Students who move out of on-campus housing before these guidelines have been distributed should speak with their proctor about checkout procedures, including where to turn in their room keys.
• Students who do not turn in keys or turn in uncoded keys at the end of the summer may be billed for lock replacement at a cost of $100. 
• Students must leave their rooms in the condition in which they found them and must remove all personal belongings, including trash, at the time of departure.

• Students registered for consecutive sessions are not required to move out between sessions.
