WEST LIBERTY, W.Va., Jan. 6, 2021 — As campus prepares to greet its students safely for the Jan. 19, 2021 start of the spring semester, the West Liberty University Office of Housing and Residence Life has issued information for the move-in process in order to follow all safety precautions due to the pandemic while following CDC and West Virginia statewide safety requirements.
Limitations WLU Will Manage
- Students will be able to select specific move in date and time frame preferences on the form below. Select four different options to insure we can assign you to one of your preferences. If you select only one option four times, and that time is not available, you will be assigned to a different date and time according to availability.
- Students will be permitted two guests to assist with move in.
- Students living in the same apartment or room will not be able to sign up for the same time frame. Exceptions may be made for students from the same household moving in to the same on campus apartment or room.
- Limits will be in place to limit the number of students able to register for any specific building, as well as an overall limit for the campus for each move in date/time frame option.
- Students who need to collect a key will be able to pick up the key at the Housing Office during their designated time frame. This should include new students moving in for the first time, and those returning to apartments and houses who turned in keys at the close of the fall semester.
How You Can Help
- Students and guests are not to share elevators with anyone outside their move in group.
- Students and guests must wear masks and gloves at all times inside the building.
- For the security of everyone, do not prop doors or allow anyone else access to the residential facility.
- If someone has been exposed to anyone that is ill, or is experiencing any symptoms themselves, do not come to campus. This includes students and their guests assisting with move in.
- Bring a thermometer to continue to self-monitor for fever and symptoms.
