Contract
The 2024–2025 contract runs from Friday, August 23, 2024, at noon, to Thursday, May 22, 2025, at noon. Residents who are receiving a degree at Commencement may remain in the halls until Friday, May 30, 2025, at noon. Our office reserves the right to move any resident to a different room for the interim period, if necessary.
Move-In Hours
Move-in hours for August 2024 will be communicated to all incoming residents in the summer. There will be extended move-in hours from Friday, August 23 to Tuesday, August 27. After August 27, students will need to get their key from Lehman Hall, Room 203, during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.).
Please note: Sudden, unannounced arrivals occurring outside of move-in hours are subject to a fee.
Early Arrival
Early arrivals are not permitted.
Billing & Payment
The Office of Residential Life does not collect payments for room or meal plan fees. These fees will be billed to residents' student accounts in two installments. The fall term room and meal fees will be billed by early August and the spring term room and meal fees will be billed in late November. Because the fall term is slightly longer than the spring term, the room and meal plan fees for the fall term are more than half the overall fees.
The University offers a monthly payment plan for students who want to split their housing fees into monthly installments. Any questions regarding this plan or payment deadlines should be directed to Student Financial Services.
Important information for first-year Harvard Griffin GSAS students:
Fees for the Harvard Griffin GSAS residence halls and meal plan will be billed in August prior to registration and due upon arrival. If you are a first-year Harvard Griffin GSAS student and cannot pay these charges in full before the registration deadline, please note that you will be cleared for registration by Financial Aid. More information about registration, stipends, and paying your Harvard Griffin GSAS room and meal plan fees is available at the Student Financial Services website.
