Housing

During Fall Clean-Up (Dates August 20-26)

During Fall Clean-Up you will be provided with temporary housing in one of the freshman dorms. You will enjoy the standard dorm amenities of an extra-long twin bed, a desk, a chair, and a dresser. Common bathrooms are located on each floor of the dorms. You must bring your own bed linens and pillow. 

On the morning of Monday, August 26, you will move out of your temporary housing and store all your belongings on a secure moving truck in Harvard Yard (this is why we must limit you to only one suitcase and one carry-on). After the work day, you will be able to move your belongings from the truck to your term-time suite.

Early Term-Time Move-In (August 26)

At 5:00pm on August 26, you may move in to your term-time suite (this is one day earlier than the official first-year move-in). However, you may not choose your permanent bedroom until all of your roommates arrive on August 27. For this reason, it is highly recommended that your families do not arrive until Tuesday. Additionally, vehicles are only permitted in Harvard Yard on Tuesday; absolutely no vehicles will be permitted in the Yard on Monday evening. 

If you have further questions about term-time move-in, please contact the Dean of Students Office at firstyear@fas.harvard.edu or (617) 495-1574.
