Move-in
Spring 2021 Move In Information
We are excited for you to join us on campus in January for the Spring 2021 semester. We know things have looked different over the last year and will continue to do so through the Spring semester and we 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 moving in over a three-day period as well as utilizing specific sign
up times for students.
The schedule for move in is:
- January 10-12: New and Returning Student Move In
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.
New students are required to attend Orientation. Please visit the Orientation site for more information at to register.
Shuttle Sign-ups
Student Life will be offering shuttles from Yeager Airport and the Prince, WV train station during spring move in from January 10-12. Shuttles will begin on Sunday, January 10 and end Tuesday, January 12.Please select the sign-up link to reserve your seat.
