<p>Does anybody know when returning student can move into the dorms in Aug 2009 ? I know the first day of classes is Aug 26.</p>
<p>And where did you find this information ?</p>
<p>the acceptance binder said dorms are unlocked on Aug 20th (which I am assuming, at my own risk, that it simply means your key cards will gain access on that date).</p>
<p>Since the first day of classes is August 26th, I would assume returning students would move in on Sunday, August 23rd. I looked for date on the WashU site but didn't see it. Just called Res Life and ask. Here is a link to the major dates in the academic calendar through 2011-2012, which does not have the date you were looking for, but is something I find helpful in long range planning!</p>

<p>ok the key dates page in the acceptance binder says that all residence halls open on August 20th. Or you could just call Undergraduate Admissions at (800) 638-0700 or (314) 935-6000</p>
<p>Go to the following site and look for the desired heading for appropriate info about orientation and move in: Orientation</a> at Washington University in St. Louis</p>
<p>Thanks MidWest Parent - that's what I was thinking also. I haven't had a chance to call Res Life yet. We'll aim for that Sunday 8/23. At least it gives me a date to work with.</p>
<p>Since my D is a returning student, orientation info does not apply. I don't think Soph-Jrs-Srs are allowed to move in on 8/20 - that's for freshman only.</p>
<p>NEM2 - I think once you are a returning student, you just have to be there in time for the first day of classes. My D likes to go the first day you can move in so she has time to get organized, pick up her books, etc. She has had roommates who moved in a day or two after she did.</p>
