New to Campus Housing?
You can read more about preparing for Move-In on our website at https://housing.arizona.edu/move-in.
You will need to take a COVID-19 test before you are permitted to check-in at your assigned dorm. Please sign up in advance for a test on the date you intend to Move-In at http://testing.wellcheck.arizona.edu/.
If you are arriving to campus at a time or on a day when you are unable to get a COVID-19 test that same day, you may not be permitted to check-in at your dorm. You will need to plan to stay at a hotel for the night or you can visit the front desk of your assigned dorm to see what on-campus accommodations may be available for the night. You will be asked to follow the University's stay-at-home protocol until you can get a COVID-19 test on campus. Upon receiving a negative result, you would be permitted to Move-In to your dorm room.
Spring 2021 On-Going Testing Requirements
The University will require all dorm residents and students coming to the Main Campus to participate in weekly COVID-19 testing during the spring semester. You can read more about spring testing here; more information will be shared from the University soon.
