Spring 2021: Semester COVID Testing

Phase 1

We couldn’t have made it through the fall semester without your clear commitment to protecting yourselves and each other. Finding our way through living and learning during a pandemic has been challenging, but you have repeatedly shown us that you take it seriously and very much want to be here on campus.

You showed us this once again by either coming to campus to get tested or submitting test results as part of the process of living on campus this semester. Your follow-through means that some of you discovered you have COVID and were able to get the guidance you needed on how to isolate, which in turn helped to protect your friends and hall mates on campus.

We announced at the end of fall semester that students living on campus for spring would be asked to participate in surveillance testing. You completed Phase I of this testing - prior to returning to campus - with flying colors. We’re writing to let you know what the rest of the semester will look like.

Phase 2

Given that the positivity rate remains high in our larger community, we need every student living on campus to once again get tested next week (see below for the limited exceptions). This will give us data on how we’re doing after we’ve had students back in the halls for a week. This information also will help us determine our testing strategy moving into Phase 3 (see below).

To make this as simple as possible, we will provide free testing for all residential students Monday through Thursday of next week.
Testing will be provided by Mako, who will send us the results directly. You will not need to submit anything to us.
You do not need an appointment, but you will need to pre-register in ARTEMIS.
We have tried to provide different time periods on different days to accommodate your class and work schedules. All testing will take place in the Maple Room in the EUC.
- Mon., January 25, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
- Tues., January 26, noon - 6 p.m.
- Wed., January 27, noon - 6 p.m.
- Thurs., January 28, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Phase 3

After next week, we will begin asking smaller, randomly selected groups of students to get tested each week as we move through the semester. You will be contacted individually if you are randomly selected. The University will continue to provide free testing for those who are asked to get tested.

Exceptions Students who meet one of the following criteria will be exempted from the testing requirement. Specific to the last exemption, if you have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days and we already have your results (either through the self-report system or because you tested at Student Health Services), you will not be asked to be tested again until 90 days after your last positive test. If you tested positive at some point prior to move-in this month and have not submitted your results (e.g., if you are a new student), please do so via the self-report portal.

You have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days.
You have a disability that would physically preclude you from having the test done.
You have a sincerely held religious belief that prohibits you from participating in testing.

FAQs

What if I’ve already received a dose or both doses of the vaccine? Testing is still required. Though the vaccine is documented to be highly effective, no vaccine is 100% effective. And, it can take several weeks from the time you receive the vaccine to the time that your body has developed sufficient antibodies to protect you.

Report COVID-19 Test Results Before You Return in Spring 2021

As previously announced in the Nov. 12 Update below, all students living on campus for the Spring 2021 semester must provide results from a RT- PCR test COVID-19 test prior to moving into their residence hall (*see below for exceptions).

Testing should be conducted no earlier than 7 days prior to the date you plan to come back to campus. Because students will be arriving back on campus at different times, we’ve provided the following timeline for you to determine the window during which you should be tested. This timeline takes into account that it often takes several days to get test results back.

Beginning on January 7, 2021, you will be able to log into ARTEMIS to upload your test results using the Spring 2021 Re-Entry COVID-19 Test Results Submission Form. The preferred method of attaching your results is to scan your test results and upload the document. If you are using your phone to submit your test results, please focus your camera to include the entire document and make sure it is clear and easily readable. The results will be reviewed and any results that cannot be clearly interpreted will result in having to resubmit the results.

Return Date	Earliest day to get tested	Recommended last day to get tested	Upload results no later than (if getting tested off campus)
January 13	January 6	January 9	January 12
January 14	January 7	January 10	January 13
January 15	January 8	January 11	January 14
January 16	January 9	January 12	January 15
January 17	January 10	January 13	January 16
January 18	January 11	January 14	January 17

Testing will be offered on campus, or students can choose to get tested in their communities.

If you want to get tested in your community

There are a variety of community-based opportunities for testing. North Carolina residents can visit the NC DHHS COVID-19 testing website to find testing locations. Students living in other states should consult their local public health departments. Note that appointments are required for some opportunities.
When you receive your test result, you will upload it to the UNCG Case Management Tool through ARTEMIS.
You will need to be sure that your name and the results can both clearly be seen in the uploaded document.
The University is not able to reimburse you for any costs associated with testing in the community.

If you want to get tested on campus

The University will provide free campus testing in the Elliott University Center. Consult with the EUC Information Desk for specific locations. Residential students can register for testing using ARTEMIS. Results of this testing will be provided directly to the University.
Testing will take place on an alternating schedule to accommodate student work schedules and other timing concerns.

Wednesday	January 6	9 am – 3 pm
Thursday	January 7	11 am – 5 pm
Friday	January 8	9 am – 3 pm
Monday	January 11	9 am – 5 pm
Tuesday	January 12	11 am – 7 pm
Wednesday	January 13	9 am – 5 pm
Thursday	January 14	11 am – 7 pm
Friday	January 15	9 am – 5 pm

To provide maximum flexibility, appointments are not needed. Please anticipate that you may need to wait in line and plan accordingly.
Testing location and preregistration information is available in ARTEMIS.

*Exceptions

Students who meet one of the following criteria will be exempted from the testing requirement. If you believe you meet one of these criteria, you should still complete the COVID-19 Test Results Submission Form, available in ARTEMIS, and indicate the criteria you believe you meet for an exemption:

You have a disability that would physically preclude you from having the test done.
You have a sincerely held religious belief that prohibits you from participating in testing.
You have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days.

We will continue to work with local and state public health officials as the pandemic evolves over the winter break. Please also continue to monitor your email, social media channels and our COVID-19 website for updated information.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I test positive?

If you test positive, you will need to remain where you are until you have been cleared to come to campus. We will contact you to determine your isolation period and make arrangements for your delayed return.

What if I’m diagnosed with COVID-19 (test positive) over the winter break?

Please complete the Covid-19 Self-Reporting Form and upload your positive test results, even if you are no longer ill when it’s time to come back to campus. Because the CDC does not recommend that individuals who have tested positive within 90 days get retested, you will not be required to get tested again, but you will have to provide your positive test results.

What if I’m identified as a close contact of someone who has tested positive in the weeks prior to my return?

Please complete the Covid-19 Self-Reporting Form to let us know. We will contact you to determine when it is safe for you to come to campus and make arrangements for your delayed return.

What if testing is unavailable in my community and I can’t travel to campus before I return to move back into my residence hall?

If you are in this situation, complete the Testing Submission Form (which will become available on January 7 in Artemis) and explain your circumstances. We will contact you to arrange for immediate testing when you arrive on campus.

Now that a vaccine is available, what if I’m able to get vaccinated before I return to campus?

The first doses of the vaccine are being given to specific groups (e.g., health care workers; elderly individuals in nursing homes and the staff who work there) that are not likely to include students. If you are given the opportunity to get vaccinated through work or another mechanism and choose to do so, you can submit proof of vaccination via the Testing Submission Form (which will become available on January 7 in Artemis) and we will determine whether you are exempt from testing.

I will be a new resident in the Spring. What return date should I use?

Use the date you are returning to campus to stay, from January 14-18. You do not have to get tested prior to Stop, Drop, and Roll on January 7 -9.

November 12, 2020 - Fall 2020: Testing Before Returning Home for Winter Break

FREE Covid 19 Testing Before Returning Home for the Holiday

As you know, testing is an important tool in our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The purpose of this letter is to make you aware of 1) opportunities to get tested prior to leaving campus for the winter break; and 2) for those who will be living in a University residence hall this spring, testing requirements when you return in January.

1) Testing Prior to Leaving Campus

In order to maximize the protection of yourself and others, we strongly suggest that you get tested prior to returning home even if you don’t have symptoms. Free testing will be available to residential students beginning Monday, November 16th through Thursday, November 19th. Participation is voluntary, but will help you make safer choices as you plan your trip home. The testing will be conducted by Mako Medical, and is being paid for by the University. Insurance information will not be collected.

Students who 1) have COVID-19 symptoms; or 2) are in quarantine because they’ve been identified as a close contact; or 3) have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days should NOT seek testing at these clinics. If you have symptoms or are a close contact, seek testing through Student Health Services or through a community testing site.

Important details:

Testing will take place in the EUC Maple Room.
You need to log into ARTEMIS and click on REGISTER for COVID-TESTING. Appointments will begin at 9 am and continue through 4:45 pm. Please arrive at your appointment time or a few minutes after (not early) in order to maintain social distancing.
Before your appointment, you will also need to complete the pre-registration form.

Note that the “free testing” option is already preselected.
For question #5 of the state required questions, answer “no”.
Once completed, you will receive an email with a QR/Booking ID.
When you arrive for your appointment, open the email so the testing team can scan the QR code.
If you are unable to pre-register, you will be able to register onsite. Please bring a form of ID.

You will receive your result directly from Mako Medical within 2-3 days.
You will be given the opportunity to sign a waiver that allows Mako Medical to report your result directly to the UNCG Case Management Team.
By law, Mako Medical must report all results to the public health department. Public health, in turn, will inform us if you test positive.
You will receive information about what to do if you test positive at your testing appointment.

2) Testing When you Return to Campus

With a few exceptions (see below), students who will be living in a University residence hall for the spring semester will be required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test prior to returning to campus. The test itself should be conducted no earlier than Monday, January 11.

A few important details:

The test must be an RT- PCR test. This test looks for the virus itself.
You can get tested in your home community and submit your results via the Self-Reporting portal (the University will not reimburse students who choose this method).
For those within driving distance, we will provide testing on campus during the week of January 11th at no cost to students.
Limited testing will be available for students who are unable to travel to campus or access testing in their communities prior to returning for move-in.
More details on campus testing clinics and the process to submit test results from community testing sites will be sent in early January.
Individuals who meet one of the following criteria will be exempted from the testing requirement. More details about the process for identifying that you believe you should be exempt will be provided in early January.

You have a disability that would physically preclude you from having the test done.
You have a sincerely held religious belief that prohibits you from participating in testing.
You have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days.

If you are ill during the week before the spring semester begins, you should complete the Self-Report form, and we will work with you to coordinate your re-entry to campus.

We will continue to work with local and state public health officials as the pandemic evolves over the winter break. If advised, we may require residential students to participate in surveillance testing for all or part of the spring semester. This would mean that a small percentage of students would be chosen each week to get tested. The same exemptions identified above would apply. We will communicate any decisions regarding surveillance testing in early January. Please also continue to monitor your email, social media channels and the UNCG COVID-19 website for updated information.

October 20, 2020 - Spring 2021: Move-In

Spring 2021 Move-In

It will take all of us working together to keep our campus community safe and healthy. The primary way COVID-19 spreads is through person-to-person contact, so our best hope of preventing its spread is by changing the way we behave. UNCG expects students to show care for their friends, peers, colleagues, and neighbors. This means following some very important guidelines every day -- Wear, Wait, Wash.

Please choose the set of instructions that applies to your situation from the two choices below:

1) Residents who lived on campus in Fall 2020

Residents will be able to return to their hall and room beginning Sunday, January 17, 2021. Only residents will be allowed in the halls at that time. Like Fall 2020 check in, every effort should be made to limit the number of items that you bring with you.

There will be no reservation or time slot required for residents who lived on campus in Fall 2020 when they return to the halls in January.

2) New Residents who did NOT live on campus in Fall 2020

New residents will follow a procedure very similar to one that we used in Fall 2020 Move-In, in order to maximize the safety of students and their families as residents move into the residence halls. Outlined below is a look at that process, so you can begin to make plans to come to campus. Move-In will occur in two stages.

In Stage 1, you will safely move ALL of your belongings into your room, but you WILL NOT stay on campus.
In Stage 2, you will return to campus (prior to the start of spring classes) and you WILL live in your new space.

Stage 1: The Stop, Drop, and Roll Process, Jan. 7-9, 2021

STAGE 1: Stop, Drop, and Roll

The first step is Stop, Drop, and Roll. At this stage, you will only be able to drop off items and set up your room for the fall semester during your assigned time period, but you will not occupy your room during this time. Stop, Drop, and Roll will take place Thursday, January 7 – Saturday, January 9, 2021. You will receive an email with more detailed instructions and a link to sign up for a specific date and time slot for this stage of Move-In.

STOP - Packing, Planning, and Personal Safety

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please bring ALL belongings that you need for the fall semester on campus and move them into your room during Stage 1. You may only bring small last-minute items that you forgot, or that can be easily carried in one trip, during Stage 2.
FACE COVERINGS: For the move-in process, all residents and visitors should bring their own face coverings from home. Per University policy , face coverings are required to be worn during this process. It is equally important to wear face coverings properly. The University will have a small supply of disposable masks for students during the Move-In process.
PARKING PERMIT: For any vehicle that will be parked in the loading areas, you must print and place this Parking Permit on your dashboard, on the driver's side. Be sure to add your personal info. Also to ensure that we can contact you if there is a problem with your vehicle, please complete the short "Car Tag and Contact Form." (If you have issues with the form, please follow these instructions.) Failure to do so will result in your delay at the check in desk as you will need to wait until we have checked in students with registered vehicles. The parking permit can only be used at your assigned date and time, between Thursday, January 7 – Saturday, January 9, 2021. This cannot be used during Stage 2: Stay, Live, and Learn, from January 17-18, 2021.
Have conversations with your roommate(s) prior to arrival, to minimize purchasing or bringing duplicate items.
To maximize physical distancing (6 feet) during this process, roommates may not check in on the same date. You should coordinate your time slot reservations together to find times that work best for each of you. All freshmen will have UNCG iSpartan email addresses of their roommate(s) and HRL will monitor conflicts to keep you from signing up for the same time slot as your roommate(s) during this process.
Please limit the amount of belongings that you bring to campus. We must be adaptable and prepared for any curveballs COVID-19 throws our way. That means being ready for the possibility that residents may need to remove belongings quickly during the fall semester.
Only the resident and two additional people (parents, siblings, guests) will be permitted to access the hall during the move-in process. Every person who enters the residence hall will be required to wear a face covering.
A small number of parking spaces will be available near each residence hall during the move-in period to allow residents easier access to the hall. It is imperative that these spaces are only used during your assigned time slot.
Please be patient and prepared for this stage to take longer than usual. The process is new in every way -- from traffic flow, to elevator use, to the check-in processes. We know there will be challenges as we go, and ask for your help as a member of our community by coming to campus with a little extra patience and understanding for our team and your fellow parents and students.

DROP - Check In and Move In

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please bring ALL belongings that you need for the fall semester and move them into your room during Stage 1. You may only bring small, last-minute items that you forgot, or that can be easily carried in one trip, during Stage 2.
All residents will receive their room key when they arrive. New students will receive their UNCG ID card as well, which will allow them to access their assigned hall when they return for Stage 2. Returning students should already have their Spartan ID and should bring it with them when they arrive to campus. Residents will not need to check in again when they return to campus prior to classes < see Stay, Live, Learn, below. >
Residents should bring their own handtrucks, carts, and other assistive devices to aid in the move-in process, if possible.
A limited number of carts will be available, and can be checked out during this time.

ROLL - Leaving the Residence Hall

You will not occupy your room at this time. You will return to campus and stay in your residence hall in Stage 2. New Students attending SOAR on Friday, January 15, may return to campus on Thursday, January 14 or Friday, January 15. < See Stay, Live, Learn, below>
Please pay attention to the clock as you unload your belongings and move into your room. In order to provide the safest experience for everyone, we ask that you adhere to the time slot you have been assigned.
Once your assigned time period has ended, you will need to leave the residence hall. No one may spend the night in any residence hall during Stage 1.
Please proceed directly to your parking space and leave the parking lot as quickly as possible. Residents in the subsequent time slot will need to park in those spaces.

Safety Procedures

Your safety is of the utmost importance to us during Stop, Drop and Roll. We are committed to providing the safest means of getting all residents and their guests through this process. You will see:

Everyone wearing a face covering. This is vital to helping stop the spread of COVID-19 on our campus.
Safe usage guidelines including physical distancing of 6 feet, and occupancy limits for all common areas, lounges, lobbies, game rooms, parlors, and other gathering spaces.
Distancing discs on the floors to indicate where to stand if lines are required.
Increased cleaning and disinfection of common “high touch” areas (including elevator buttons, exterior door handles, and restrooms) throughout each day and time slot.
The ideal furniture organization for each room to allow for maximum physical distancing. We ask you not to move any furniture as spaces have been carefully reconfigured to achieve our physical distancing goals.
Hand sanitizing stations at entrances/exits of residence hall buildings.

Stage 2: The Stay, Live, and Learn Process, starting Jan. 14, 2021

STAGE 2: Stay, Live, and Learn

Stage 2 is NOT another move-in period. All of your belongings should be in your room already. You may only bring small last-minute items that you forgot in Stage 1, or that can be easily carried in one trip, during Stage 2.

New Residents for Spring 2021

On Thursday, January 14 or Friday January 15, ONLY NEW freshmen and transfer students attending the Friday, January 15, SOAR session will return to campus, head to their rooms, and prepare for classes as they get acclimated to their new campus home.

All other new residents may return to campus on Sunday, January 17, head to their rooms, and prepare for classes as they get acclimated to their new campus home.

Classes begin on Tuesday, January 19.

New Freshman and Transfer residents can begin to return to campus and access their halls at 8 a.m. on Thursday, January 14.
All other New Spring 2021 Residents can begin to return to campus and access their halls at 8 a.m. on Sunday, January 17.
Students will use their Spartan Card to access the building and the key they picked up during “Stop, Drop, and Roll” to enter their rooms.
There are no restrictions on residents coming and going to and from the halls at the current time.
Finally, THERE ARE NO SCHEDULED TIMES FOR STUDENTS TO RETURN.

Important Notes:

Remember, ONLY RESIDENTS MAY ENTER THE HALLS. You may have people assist you to bring items close to the access doors, but they are not allowed to enter the hall. If you have a big item to move, please bring your own hand truck. Residents will need to bring in any extra items unassisted. Visitors (parents, siblings, guests) will not be permitted into the residence halls with you.
HOUSING WILL NOT HAVE SPARTAN CARDS. If you do not have a Spartan Card, you will need to go to the Spartan Card Center in Moran Commons between 9 a.m.and 4 p.m. The hall entry access system will be in full operation 24/7 when you return, so no Spartan Card equals no access to your hall. Please plan your arrival accordingly.
Parking near the halls will not be reserved like it was for Stop, Drop, and Roll. Parking regulations will be enforced around the halls. You must have a valid permit for any parking on campus except for metered spaces where you can use quarters or the UNCG Park Mobile App
Remember that face coverings that meet CDC guidelines will be required in most places on campus. We encourage you to bring your own supply of your preferred style of face coverings. The University also will provide a small supply of disposable masks for students who would like them once you arrive on campus to begin classes.

Please check your iSpartan email (@uncg.edu) on a regular basis for important updates.

The Residence Hall Linen Program & Renting a Microfridge

You might also want to check out the Residence Hall Linens program. This program provides a convenient, affordable way to ensure you have sheets and bedding that will fit the extra-long mattresses in our residence halls. The Residence Hall Linens program has all your campus living needs, from extra-long twin sheets and comforters to matching towels and storage items. Proceeds from this program go directly back to Alternative Spring Break* and are used to help defray the costs of volunteer service efforts.

Residence Hall Linens Program

*UNCG’s Alternative Spring Break trips are designed to provide an educational experience to a group of participants and are designed to link the Triad and North Carolina to the world through service. UNCG has sent volunteers to various destinations within the United States to provide service, to become educated on social issues affecting communities and to have LOTS of fun during spring break.

MicroFridge units are now available for UNCG students to rent or purchase through Standards for Living (http://standardsforliving.com/school-info/unc-greensboro). To place your order, visit their website or call the Order Processing Center (1-800-525-7307), Monday – Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The MicroFridge program is sponsored by the Residence Hall Association (RHA) and all proceeds are used for student programming.

August 17, 2020 - Fall 2020: Move-In Questions

Answers to Recent Questions

This section includes answers to questions that residents have asked after arriving on campus. This section will be updated on an ongoing basis, so please bookmark this page and check back as questions about anything involving the residence halls arise.

What do I do if I think I have Covid-19?

First, Spartans should do a self-assessment for symptoms of COVID-19, before leaving their residence hall room, daily.

View the Symptoms Check information >

If you feel ill or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should stay home, complete a COVID-19 Self Reporting Form, and contact the Student Health Services Medical Clinic (336-334-5340) or your healthcare provider and your instructors immediately. The Dean of Students Office will reach out to you to discuss the reporting process and available support resources.

COVID-19 Self Reporting Form >

Something isn't working properly in my room. What do I do?

Complete a FIXT Work Request >

HRL Maintenance staff are calling residents roughly 30 minutes prior to arrival to ensure no one with the area is having Covid-19 or flu-like symptoms. Staff will also ask the residents to wear a face covering while they are present and/or may request that residents move to another area in the residence hall to maximum social distancing. FIXT has also had several training sessions with Environmental Health & Safety on COVID-19 and PPE usage.

When should I wear a face covering?

Think of your residence hall assignment as your “campus home,” and any roommates, suitemates or apartment-mates as your UNCG “family unit.” You are not required to wear a face covering in your student room. You and your roommate(s) need to work together to protect each other. You need to discuss what it means to be a family unit. As such it is very important to have a good understanding of each other’s needs and expectations while in the room. Consider how these requirements are designed to protect your family unit and to be considerate of your neighbors and peers as you care for one another.

Wear face coverings when you leave your residence hall room, suite, or apartment. While there will be limited circumstances where temporarily removing your face covering will be necessary (e.g., eating, brushing your teeth, bathing), you should still have a face covering with you at all times. It is equally important to wear face coverings properly. Disposable masks should be thrown away in appropriate trash receptacles.
Maintain good social distance from others (6 feet) in hallways and when you visit community/common areas in your residence hall. These include community bathrooms, parlors, lounge spaces, community kitchens, game rooms, etc.

Where can I eat?

Check the Dine-on-Campus website for regular updates:

Dine-On-Campus >

I am concerned about a potentially unsafe gathering taking place. What can I do?

For your safety and for that of others, you are expected to wear face coverings in public, practice good hand hygiene and social distancing – both on and off campus – and limit the size of both indoor and outdoor gatherings. Current state guidance limits indoor activities to 10 people and outdoor activities to 25 people. Face coverings and social distancing of at least six feet is required at all times by the City of Greensboro and the State of North Carolina at all gatherings. We must be responsible in all spaces, and expect the same from our neighbors. It is essential that our students take this seriously. Ignoring these guidelines has consequences. Violations of the Governor’s orders around large gatherings are criminal offenses and subject to disciplinary action under the Student Code of Conduct, and directly jeopardize the safety of our community and our ability to operate.

Off-campus students should refrain from hosting gatherings that violate the state order, and all students should avoid situations that increase the risk of exposure.

If you are concerned about a potentially unsafe gathering taking place in your residence hall, please contact an RA on duty or the Coordinator for Residence Life in your building.
If it's a larger gathering outside the residence hall, please submit a Report Concerning Behavior form.

Who are the staff members who live in my residence hall?

Your Resident Advisor is available as a resource if you need assistance. They will connect with you and support you throughout the academic year.
Resident Advisors will provide on-call duty response if you have an emergency in the hall.
Resident Advisors will be fully trained in all the new health, safety, cleaning, and physical distancing policies and procedures we have adopted, and are there to help make sure we keep these standards in place at all times.
You have a Coordinator for Residence Life and/or an Assistant Coordinator for Residence Life as a resource for you, who lives in the residence hall with you.

What cleaning measures are being taken in my residence hall?

Increased cleaning in common areas.

High touch surfaces will be wiped down multiple times each day.
Community bathrooms will have new disinfectant wipe dispensers so that students may wipe down surfaces before and after use.

What is the visitation policy if I want to have a guest?

Only fellow UNCG residential students will be permitted as guests in the residence halls.

Each resident may have only one (1) guest in the residence hall at a time.
An overnight guest is not permitted. A guest must leave your room by 2 a.m. No guest is permitted from 2 a.m.-6 a.m. Inside apartments and suites, a guest may be in your room, but should limit their presence in shared spaces.
The resident host must escort their guest at all times throughout the building. The guest should not be left alone in the residence hall room. The resident host will assume all responsibility for the actions of the resident's guest.
Residents are responsible for ensuring that their guest abides by University Policies and the same policies expected of residential students.
Residents and their guest are prohibited from using a bathroom, or shower, not designated for their gender. Residents and their guest are prohibited from having multiple persons present in single use bathrooms or showers at any time.
A guest may be required to leave if their behavior is deemed inappropriate by the HRL staff or University Police. Violations of the above visitation policies may result in the termination of guest privileges.

June 25, 2020 - Fall 2020: Move-In Process

Fall 2020: The Two-Stage Arrival Process

Students are required to wear a face covering in most situations on campus (indoors, outdoors when physical distancing can’t be maintained), to wash their hands often and properly, and to practice physical distancing (6 feet) wherever possible (in lines, at activities, in social situations). Before you leave for campus at either stage of this process, please check for symptoms of COVID-19 using the CDC’s Self Checker. Anyone exhibiting symptom(s) should not come to campus and should consult their health care provider. Housing and Residence Life (HRL) is adapting Move-In plans accordingly, in order to maximize the safety of students and their families as residents move into the residence halls. The move-in process for residential students will be different for the fall of 2020 than it has been in the past. Outlined below is a look at that process, so you can begin to make plans to come to campus. Move-In will occur in two stages.

In Stage 1, you will safely move ALL of your belongings into your room, but you WILL NOT stay on campus.
In Stage 2, you will return to campus (prior to the start of fall classes) and you WILL live in your new space.

By July 6, 2020, HRL will email detailed instructions to your iSpartan email account, along with a link to sign up for a specific date and time slot for Stage 1.

STAGE 1: Stop, Drop, and Roll

The first step is Stop, Drop, and Roll. At this stage, you will only be able to drop off items and set up your room for the fall semester during your assigned time period, but you will not occupy your room during this time. Stop, Drop, and Roll will take place Saturday, July 25 – Wednesday, August 5. You have received an email with more detailed instructions and a link to sign up for a specific date and time slot for this stage of Move-In.
