As of 11 a.m. on Thursday, the form is still unavailable, though it was scheduled to open on Wednesday, July 8, after an initial delay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first edition of BU\u2019s Campus Life Guide said the early move in request form would open on July 1. But on July 1, BU updated the Guide to say the form would not open until July 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was no official announcement about the delay, and BU Housing has not publicly communicated why the form still has not opened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BU has split its move in process into two phases. Early move in will be from August 1 to 14. BU has not made clear who exactly is eligible for early move in\u2014the Early Arrival section of BU\u2019s Campus Life Guide says student athletes and some \u201cspecial-interest groups\u201d might be eligible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Guide also alludes to possible quarantines for some students, but BU still hasn\u2019t announced who might have to quarantine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular move in will take place from August 15 to 31. Students will be allowed to sign up for a time slot at some point this summer. BU has not said when that sign-up process will begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology problems might be the reason why the request form did not go up on Wednesday. According to some comments on the BU Reddit page, a faulty request form was up for about 10 minutes on Wednesday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/wtbu\" title=\"wtbu\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">wtbu<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/wtbu\/wtbu-news-campus-report-7920\" title=\"WTBU News Campus Report 7\/9\/20\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">WTBU News Campus Report 7\/9\/20<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students Hoping to Request Early Move in Face Delays By Grace Ferguson Boston University has delayed opening its form to request early move in by over a week.
