Early Fall Arrival
Who qualifies for this?
"Early fall arrivals" (EFAs) are students who have been asked by the college to arrive on campus for specific purposes, and have been approved by Housing to arrive early. Athletes for the Fall semester (soccer, volleyball, cross country) are asked to arrive early, and specific student leaders and Orientation volunteers are asked to assist the college in preparation for the semester.
The fall athletes in soccer and volleyball actually arrive prior to when fall housing is available, so their pre-fall housing (i.e. temporary housing usually in Page or Clark) must be arranged between Athletics and the staff at the Westmont Conference Center. The athletes move from their temporary housing to their fall housing assignments one week prior to the start of Orientation. Athletes are not allowed to move their personal belongings into their fall campus housing assignments until their check-in with residence hall staff.
Special approval needed
Students are not allowed to move-in or check-in to campus rooms until the dates listed under Check-In, unless they have an advance arrangement with Housing. EFAs must be approved by the Housing Office. When a student has been added to the list for early fall arrival, he or she will receive an email to confirm it. A special, pre-determined check-in time with Residence Life is required for all approved EFAs. This check-in time is communicated in the email.
Faculty and staff who wish to have students approved for early arrival need to contact Housing in advance. Once arranged, faculty and staff will add their student's names and manage their own group list at the Special Housing Schedule (login) site.
