Move In Dates
Your move-in date will vary ,based on the activities you are involved in and the location you are assigned. Residence Life personnel will be in touch to send information about your roommate, housing assignments, and housing contract via email. We will additionally communicate move-in information, schedules, and dates to ensure every student is moved into campus in time for Charger Weekend activities. Contact Residence Life if you have any question or concerns.
We cannot wait to welcome you to The Cliff.
Packing List
Planning what to bring to college doesn t have to be a guessing game. We encourage you to contact roommates before moving in, to determine who will bring large items to avoid duplicate items. You can always bring more items to school later as you become aware of needs related to residence life.
Jazz Ensemble
A group of enterprising musicians saw a need to create a jazz ensemble at Briar Cliff University something that had been missing from the music program for many years. Upon presenting the idea to the Provost and Chair of the Music Department, the
BCU Jazz Ensemble became a reality.
This ensemble performs a wide variety of styles ranging from traditional standards by Duke Ellington and Count Basie to Latin Jazz and Fusion. The Jazz Ensemble presents several on-campus performances and can also be heard off-campus at various venues in the region.
Additionally, performance grant scholarships are available by audition. One credit hour per semester is offered to members.
Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor matching programs for employees’ charitable gifts. To take advantage of these opportunities, simply ask your employer or human resources department to see if your employer has a matching gift program.
Feel free to contact us if you have a question about matching gifts.
Briar Cliff Payroll Deduct
Faculty and Staff may donate in person, online, or through automatic payments. Many faculty and staff members find having gifts deducted from their paycheck is the easiest way to give. To set up a new payroll deduction or edit an existing one, please download the faculty/staff pledge Payroll Deduction Form.

In order to request your transcript or to send it to another school, you must apply through the online transcript request system. Keep in mind your account balance must be $0 in order to request a transcript and there is a request fee of $15 per transcript. Briar Cliff uses a service called Parchment to process the transcripts. Start the process by Creating a Parchment Account.
