WCU announces gradual move-out process to limit number of students, helpers on campus

WCU -- May 1, 2020 Western Carolina University students who left personal belongings in on-campus residence halls as the university began to dramatically curtail operations in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic in March will be allowed to retrieve those items during a gradual and controlled 10-day move-out schedule.

Through a new process announced by WCU’s Department of Residential Living that is designed to maintain social distancing practices, students will be required to register for a time slot between either 8 a.m. and noon or 1 and 5 p.m. beginning Friday, May 1, through Sunday, May 10. Students must register at onlinehousing.wcu.edu.

Residential Living staff will limit the number of students per building allowed to move out during each four-hour block of time. The university also has asked students to limit the number of individuals who come to campus to help them move out to only the number of people necessary to pack and carry items from residence halls to vehicles.

All individuals coming to campus for the move-out process have been asked to wear masks while inside and around the residence halls. Students and their move-out helpers will not be permitted to stay in the residence halls overnight, and university officials are discouraging overnight stays in Jackson County.
