Move in Process for all students coming to campus

All students checking in should enter campus through the Seminary Road entrance.  You will proceed past the Fine Arts Center and the back of the Library where you will be directed to tent #1 the Jeffords Parking lot.  At tent #1 all students will find out if they must be tested for COVID.  If the student must complete a COVID test they will proceed the Pavilion located by the Dave Wolk Stadium.  If the student does not have to be tested they will proceed to tent #2 to check in to the residence halls and pick up their room key.  Students who had to be tested will come back to tent #2 and show proof of COVID test to check in to the residence halls and pick up room their room key.   Please follow all signage on campus for parking and building information when you arrive.

Please note all residence Life staff will be available for questions.  Please look for staff members wearing a polo shirt and nametag.

We encourage all students who need to be tested for COVID to arrive earlier than their scheduled move in time.  Testing will take place from 9:00am-2:00pm with the last tests beginning at 1:30pm.  We expect that there will be a line at the testing location.  If you do not have to be tested for COVID we ask that you arrive at your scheduled move in time.
