Everything you need to know about move-in

Move-in graphicUndergraduate move-in begins Monday, Aug. 17, and continues through Sunday, Aug. 23. All students scheduled to move into campus housing must have a negative result from their pre-arrival test or complete a pre-arrival testing waiver request if the student has been COVID-19-positive (confirmed with a PCR test) in the past three months.

Students and families also should be prepared to follow campus protocols, including wearing face masks/coverings at all times while on campus.

Students received an email last week with their detailed move-in instructions, including which symptom screening location to report to. Upon arriving to campus, students and accompanying family members will report first to one of five symptom screening locations, assigned according to the residence that the student is moving into.

  1. The Parking Lot 129 screening location is for all residents of The Ingram Commons Houses.
  2. The Studio Arts/Parking Lot 16 screening location is for Branscomb Quad residents, Carmichael Towers East residents and Alumni Lawn residents, except for Bronson College residents, who will use Parking Lot 298A.
  3. The Parking Lot 18 at Olin Hall screening location is for Highland Quad residents.
  4. The Parking Lot 298A at Blakemore House screening location is for residents of Bronson College, Zeppos College and the Greek houses.
  5. The Kirkland Esplanade screening location is for residents of Warren and Moore colleges.
