The housing addendum linked below is part of your NIU residence hall contract.
You will want to check the addendum when you have questions about how the residence halls operate on a daily basis. In your addendum, you will find topics that will interest you greatly. You will also discover other information that may not seem interesting to you, but which you need to know for your life in the halls.
If you need to move in to your residence hall prior to the published hall opening date, you may send a letter or email to the Residential Administration Office with that request. There are specific dates set for each semester as the earliest possible arrival time. The dates and deadlines for each semester will be posted on the website at least 1 month before the beginning of that term. Only under rare circumstances are residents authorized to return more than 1 day in advance of official hall opening day. There is a $50 a day interim Housing fee for students requesting to move in early.
