Residential Students
For non-cadet residential students, move-in will happen across a five-day window starting Aug. 12, with no more than 20 students moving into any particular residence hall at a time. Assigned move-in dates and times will be emailed to students and should be adhered to.
Accommodations for Residential Students
UNG's Residence Policy will be waived for any high-risk student or cadet who chooses to live off campus. Students may request a waiver from the policy through the Dean of Students form. Residence Life will reach out to Student Disability Services to ask them to reach out to any registered students in housing to communicate the policy.
For any student who can document high-risk circumstances, the housing contract cancellation fee will be waived as well should that student choose to cancel their housing contract for the 2020-21 academic year.
Requests for single-occupancy rooms will be accommodated as space allows, with students or cadets with documented high-risk circumstances receiving first priority, including students living single in a double occupancy room if there are spaces available.
What to Expect at Move-In
- Students will be limited to no more than two guests to assist them in moving in, and no move-in volunteers will be allowed inside the residence halls.
