For the fall semester, incoming first-year and transfer students arrive on campus and check-in at their assigned residence hall on a Saturday in late August. Check-in for returning students begins the following week — either at the Lowry Center or the Office of Campus Safety depending on the exact date of arrival.

For the spring semester, residences open for all students in mid-January.

Students may not move in before the designated check-in date unless they have permission to arrive early for athletics or another official campus group.

All residence halls require Kenyon student ID card swipe access.

A complete list of dates and deadlines for the current academic year are included in the residential life calendar.
