Move-in
Fall 2020 Move In Information
We are excited for you to join us on campus in August for the Fall 2020 semester. I know that things are going to look a little different and I know that we are going to have to do things a little bit different. I appreciate your willingness to work with us as we strive to keep our community safe.
One of the ways that we plan to help keep our community safe
is through a phased move-in plan. This plan involves different groups of
students moving in over a seven-day period as well as utilizing specific sign
up times for students.
The schedule for move in is:
- August 6-8: All International Students and students from US Territories (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands)
- August 8: Fall Athletes
- August 9-11: All other students, both new and returning
Beginning July 6, 2020, all students will be able to select a time slot for move-in. These time slots are spaced so that we can help ensure that we are practicing good social distancing. Students will need to go to myhousing.wvu.edu and log into their housing portal to sign up for their time slot.
In addition, there are some additional policies in place for move in this year:
- Students will only be allowed to bring two (2) additional people to assist them with move in.
- These additional people will need to bring and wear a face mask for the duration of their time at WVU Tech.
- Students will be required to wear a mask while in all public areas of the campus.
- International students and those from the US territories will be required to isolate in their assigned rooms for 72 hours prior to testing and after testing, until the test results are received. Housing staff will work with the student on obtaining meals.
WVU Tech encourages you to check our return to campus plans regularly throughout the rest of the summer for the most up to date information.
Shuttle Sign-ups
Student Life will be offering shuttles from Yeager Airport and the Prince, WV train station during fall move in from August 6-11. Shuttles will begin on Thursday, August 6 and end Tuesday, August 11.Please select the sign-up link to reserve your seat.
