Fall 2021 Move-In
We are excited to have you join us at the WVU Honors College this fall! Below find some important information that will be helpful in planning the start of your semester in August.
Fall 2021 Move-In for Students Living on Campus
Living on campus this fall? Honors move-in will work a little bit differently this year.
Responding to updated guidance from the WVU Health and Safety Committee, the Office of Residence Life has determined that the extended schedule for Fall Move-In will be slightly shortened, with time slots spread out over three days from Thursday, August 12 through Saturday, August 14; every hall will offer time slots each day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Read more about the updated COVID-19 guidance for Fall 2021 at WVU here .
Because all students will be moving in over a spread-out schedule, unlike in years with a traditional move-in schedule, there will be no early move-in fee charged to students' accounts. In addition, student dining plans will be available starting Monday, August 9 to support the extended move-in.
Please refer to communication from the Office of Residence Life for more details.
