The newest crop of Cornellians will arrive on campus on Aug. 19 to kick off a week of welcome events for students and families.

Nearly 8,400 undergraduate and graduate students will move into campus residence halls, program houses and co-op communities Aug. 19-25. New students are slated to move in Aug. 19-20, followed by returning students Aug. 22-25.

All new students and families will receive specific instructions and individualized move-in plans at the Shops at Ithaca Mall before making their way to campus. The Housing and Residence Life protocol and pre-scheduled move-in times will help ensure traffic flows steadily and will allow students and their families to park close to residence halls.
