Dear Centennial Hall residents,
We are looking forward to welcoming you to campus and hope your packing is going well. I am pleased to share with residents an additional option for testing that would allow you to waive the quarantine requirement upon arrival. This is optional; you are welcome to proceed with the previously communicated testing plan. The testing options are explained below.
Option #1:
Residents may be exclusively tested upon arrival at Centennial Hall. There is no cost for this option. Residents who choose this option will be quarantined for approximately 48 hours, until test results are received.
Option #2:
This new – and recommended – option allows residents to undergo a COVID-19 test within 5 days before arriving at Centennial Hall for check-in. Those who choose this option must arrive at Centennial Hall with a lab-certified negative COVID-19 test result in hand. Although residents who choose this option will be responsible for any associated costs that are not covered by health insurance, this option allows Centennial Hall residents to waive the on-campus quarantine requirement. The incoming resident will still be required to undergo testing administered at Centennial Hall (free of charge), but the requirement to quarantine while awaiting those results will be waived.
If you will be sharing a bedroom in Centennial Hall and want to avail yourself of the new option that allows you to waive the quarantine requirement, please coordinate with your roommate to arrive on the same day or within 24 to 48 hours of each other, or reach an agreement to each be tested in advance of arrival. To change your scheduled time of arrival, please visit centenmovein.youcanbook.me
Coordinating with your roommate is important because the roommate in a shared bedroom who arrives first may have to quarantine alongside a roommate who arrives later and comes without a certified, negative COVID-19 test.
If you do choose an option that will require you to quarantine, please be prepared. Make advance arrangements for food, entertainment, and classwork.
Sincerely,
The Staff of Centennial Hall
