Drop & Go is an optional early move-in program that allows incoming students to fully move into and set up their residence hall room before official Move-In.
Participants select a time slot, check in at their community front desk, and bring all belongings into their unit, then leave campus until their assigned return date.
Drop & Go is available to incoming students living in Allegheny, Brandywine, Commonwealth, and University Hall and places participants in the “Arrival Group,” which has different parking and arrival procedures—making it best to bring everything at once, as unloading zones and carts will not be available later.
