The plan for campus move-in have been developed with the safety of our students as our top priority.  We continue to work in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh’s COVID-19 Medical Response Office and the Healthcare Advisory Group and adhere to CDC guidelines  We appreciate your patience and understanding

In order to make the move-in process as safe and easy as possible, several new procedures are being implemented this year:

  • In order to allow appropriate social distancing and regulate the number of people in the buildings, all students will be assigned a day and time to move into residence halls.  Assignments will be based on where the student will be residing for the year.  Unfortunately, move-in assignments cannot be changed unless there are extreme circumstances making it impossible for the student to arrive at his/her designated time.  Students wishing to request a change in arrival date/time must do so before August 6, 2020.  
  • Students were sent their move-in day/time assignment via email  the week of July 20.
  • Guests of students will only be permitted in the residence hall during the student's assigned time.  Students who arrive on a wrong day and/or time will not be permitted to move in at that time.
  • Students who arrive late, beyond their assigned time, will forfeit their assignment and will need to be rescheduled by contacting the Housing Office. 
  • Students will be allotted 90 minutes to move all of their items into their rooms.
  • Students will be limited to two guests to help with the move-in process.  Guests should not be in a high-risk category.
  • Students and guests will be required to wear masks when inside all buildings. 
  • Students are encouraged to pack light. Remember…it will be August and everyone will be wearing a mask.
  • Students can ship belongings to campus in advance and they will be delivered directly to the students’ assigned rooms. If you are planning to ship items, they must arrive on campus no later than August 5.
  • While high-touch items such as moving carts, door handles, elevator buttons, stairwell railings, and public restrooms will be sanitized frequently, students and guests are encouraged to wear disposable gloves.
  • Due to the amount of time needed to sanitize moving carts, students are encouraged to bring their own handcarts. 
  • The first meal available under student meal plans will be the evening meal on Monday, August 17.  First-year students will be provided with meals as part of New Student Orientation.

Additional information:

  • Students who do not have a student ID card will need to submit their photo electronically. The ID Center will NOT take photos in-person.  ID cards will be sent to students’ home addresses.  Visit the ID Center's website for more details.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to plan in these unprecedented times.
