**Note: Due to move-in times, football, men's soccer, cheer and volleyball athletes may move into their rooms on August 12th and stay on campus (with meals provided) until the start of their practices. All other athletes (including women's soccer and cross country) will not be allowed to move in until their sport's move-in date. For those athletes not allowed to move in on the 12, it is strongly suggested that athletes stay at their home or with a family member upon return from their voyage.
