Juggling social life, academics, and extracurricular activities takes planning, and effectively managing important dates and deadlines is key to success. Keep in mind the important dates and deadlines for Housing & Residential Education because they are tied to important processes, like housing applications, move-in days, and hall closings. Avoid the stress of last-minute planning and ensure adequate time to meet needs by keeping these dates in mind.
