The day you’ve already chosen will be moved back by one week, but you will keep the same time you signed up for. For example, if you originally selected Saturday, Jan. 9 at 10:30 a.m., your new time will be Saturday, Jan. 16 at 10:30 a.m. Your move-in time will be adjusted automatically, so if you would like to choose a different move in time, please sign back into the housing portal to do so.
