On-Campus Housing
Move-In Update
JARDINE OPERATIONS and HANDBOOK UPDATE
Dear Jardine resident, 

Housing and Dining Services strives to provide students with an affordable, safe and pleasant living environment that supports their ability to succeed at K-State. We look forward to welcoming you to our campus community.

The COVID-19 pandemic creates challenges and opportunities for us to serve students who choose to live on campus. As we continue to operate in Jardine Apartments and prepare our dining centers for the fall 2020 semester, we have made several updates to our operations to enhance safety and mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19, including adding conduct standards and protocols for residents, modifying dining operations, and enhancing sanitation and cleaning of dining centers and other shared spaces. 
Jardine Apartments Handbook and Calendar
The Jardine Apartments Handbook includes important policies and procedures, including specific changes related to COVID-19. Residents are responsible for adhering to the terms of the handbook, including the procedures specific to COVID-19. 

Each resident should review the Jardine Apartments Handbook in its entirety. The updated calendar with important dates is included in the handbook as well.
Help Ensure a Safe Return to K-State
Each K-Stater has a role in illness mitigation. By taking simple steps to care for your yourself and those around you, you can do your part to support the university's efforts to begin — and maintain — an in-person fall semester. Specific actions you can take are:

Quarantine Requirement Update
Students coming from high-risk areas must self-quarantine for 14 days as mandated by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Individuals subject to this quarantine will not attend in-person university programs or activities, including classes. 

  • If you have been directed by a health official to quarantine due to close contact with another person who has tested positive for COVID-19, please contact Housing and Dining Services at hdsmoves@k-state.edu to discuss your quarantine plans and how your move to the residence halls will be affected.
  • The KDHE-mandated 14-day self-quarantine for individuals coming from high-risk areas is dynamic based on current conditions, and does include some international countries, specific U.S. states, and cruise travel. The list is updated approximately every two weeks. We expect an update in the next few days. Once the update is released, Housing and Dining Services will contact students with home addresses from those locations to discuss quarantine needs. Please contact us at hdsmoves@k-state.edu if you have quarantine-related questions. 
  • For more information about isolation and quarantine guidelines, please view K-State’s COVID-19 webpage.
Preparing For the Fall Semester
To help you prepare for August move-in, we created a checklist to complete before your arrival.
Apply For Your K-State ID Card
All new incoming students need to apply for a K-State Wildcat ID card prior to your arrival on campus through the following online process:
 
  1. Visit the K-State ID Center webpage.
  2. Click on “New Student Wildcat ID.”
  3. The ID Center will review your application and send an email to your K-State email address.

If ordered in advance, your new ID will be available for pickup at your residence hall check-in appointment. Please bring a valid state or federal-issued photo ID (i.e. driver’s license or passport) for verification.
Meal Plans and Dining Operations
We have also made changes to our dining operations for students with meal plans.

  • Students with meal plans may eat at Kramer Dining Center.
  • Most dining options will be carry out; limited options will be available for a dine-in experience.
  • Additional meal service stations for high-volume meal times will improve social distancing and decrease wait times.
  • Menus and meal hours will be posted on the Housing and Dining Services website.

Stay Tuned
We recognize that preparing for this fall brings a wide array of questions, and we appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work to create a residence hall experience that meets the challenges of the times while also aiming to provide the community experience K-State is known for. We'll continue to provide additional updates for fall Housing and Dining Services operations through our website, social media and emails.

Sincerely,
