Back-to-School Shipping
If you are shipping items for your student, please do not send items to campus to arrive before August 27, as we have limited storage space. If you would like to ship items to arrive earlier, please consider sending them via the UPS store for in-room delivery.
UPS must receive your boxes no later than August 21, 2025, in order to provide the in-room delivery service.
Travel Planning for the School Year
We recognize the need to make travel plans early to ensure that students don't miss school days unnecessarily due to travel. Please use the Vacation Schedule and Transportation page as a guide when making travel plans during the school year.
