2022 Fall Student Instructions |
|
We look forward to welcoming students for the Fall 2022 semester. The general health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic is a shared responsibility.
All students, families, and guests are asked to comply with the policies, procedures, and protocols designed to support the overall health and well-being of everyone in our university community. Protecting our most vulnerable populations (e.g., medically susceptible, non-traditional, older, and homeless students) is a moral and ethical obligation of the entire Tuskegee community.

The check-in process will be a curbside check-in. Residents will be limited to two vehicles, and we will not permit box trucks or trailers. Additionally, we ask that all residents limit the number of people they bring with them to 2-3 people.
Upon arrival on campus, residents will proceed directly to their designated centralized check-in location in their residence hall building.
Residents will drive to the designated building check-in location during their specified arrival time. Residents will show staff their photo ID and give their name, hall, and room number.
If financially cleared, students will be permitted to move in, and proof of a negative COVID-19 test is verified.

|
After checking in and receiving their welcome packet and room key, residents will proceed to the unloading area at their building.
When you arrive at your building, you will unload your items immediately. Residents can place their items on the curb while they move their vehicles from the unloading zone to their designated parking area. If a resident has other people with them, we recommend having a single person drive the car while the resident or someone else waits with their items. Additionally, staff will be monitoring the unloading zones.
Residents will be limited to two vehicles, and we will not permit box trucks or trailers. Additionally, we ask that all residents limit the number of people they bring with them to 2-3 people per resident.
There may be volunteers available to assist during move-in. We will be unable to provide move-in equipment to assist with move-in. You are welcome to bring items, such as wagons or dollies, to campus.
We highly encourage residents to pack light. Please read below for some tips regarding packing light:
- Visit the Residence Life and Housing webpage and review our checklist page on the website for a list of items to bring/not to bring.
- Make sure the packed boxes are light and easy to carry.
- Use your storage bins as packing boxes.
- Focus on the necessities. Only pack what you need or cannot buy once you arrive in Tuskegee.
Packing light is key to a quick and easy move-in. Remember that you and your family will be responsible for unloading and carrying items to your room.
