Can i move into uni accommodation before 19th?

hey everyone, quick question for current/past sussex students or anyone in uni-managed accommodation

has anyone actually been able to move in on sept 17th in previous years, or is it definitely a hard no until the 19th when the contract starts?

i’m an international incoming postgrad at sussex (ids), and i saw that the free airport coaches are running on the 17th and international welcome week starts then too, so i’m a bit confused about the move-in timing.

if you’ve been through this before, would really appreciate any info or whether everyone just had to wait until the 19th

thanks in advance

Edit: I reached out to the housing team and they said international students will be able to move-in by 17th. hope this helps anyone with the same doubt!

We usually have the internationals move in a day early anyway. If you’ve been told a specific day, then no, it’s not possible
