Moving Information

Your assigned move-in time
As part of University Housing's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fall 2020 move-in period will extend over five days in order to provide the opportunity for proper social distancing throughout the process. Move-in will take place between Friday, August 28 and Tuesday, September 1.

Each resident will be assigned a specific move-in date and time to limit traffic flow and crowding within each building. Move-in assignments will be provided via email. All residents are expected to adhere to their assigned move-in date and time. Early move-in will not be permitted. 

Safety measures
Each resident may bring no more than two helpers to assist with the move-in process.

All residents and helpers must wear a mask while in enclosed, public areas and outdoor public areas and situations which do not permit proper social distancing. This includes lobbies, lounges, hallways, stairwells, and elevators.

Helpers should vacate the buildings as soon as the move-in process is complete in order to comply with current pandemic protocol and guest policy.
 
Prerequisite requirements
1. Advance plan
Prior to move-in, every resident will be required to create an advance plan of action they will enact if they become ill with COVID-19. Identifying an intended isolation location will be an essential part of creating an advance plan of action. Residents who are diagnosed with COVID-19 will be expected to leave campus to isolate and convalesce at their permanent residence, unless prohibited by highly specific circumstances.

Students will receive an email prompting them to create their advance plan of action in late July. Creating a plan will consist of signing into the My Housing portal and answering a series of questions that will guide you through the creation of your plan. Those who do not have an available off-campus isolation location will be able to provide details about their circumstances through the same process.

2. Viral swab testing
Prior to move-in, every resident will be required to receive a swab COVID-19 test. Details about testing will be provided via email and updated on this website in the near future. 

Please be aware that residents will not be permitted to move in until both requirements have been met.

Once emptied, cars may be temporarily parked in nearby lots P-11, and the P-29 parking structure. Cars that will be left overnight will need to be parked in spaces designated for overnight parking. These include lots P-11 and all covered levels of the P-29 parking structure. Lots P-3 and P-5 may also be utilized for overnight parking once the move-in period has concluded. Overnight parking spaces are designated with green lines.
