Fall 2020 Move-Out Process

OPTIONS

Move out of the residence hall completely between Aug. 23-30, 2020:

1. 1. Click the link in your student email and select a day/time that you want to move out. Each link is specific to each residence hall and shouldn’t be shared.
   2. It is strongly encouraged that you coordinate with parents/family about the selection before you complete the form. Each student will be able to bring two people with them to assist with the move-out process.
   3. This process will be almost exactly like the Drop-Off process from July. Each student will have a specific time to move-out of their room. A limited number of carts will be available during this time to assist with the process too. Bringing your own carts is an option, too.
   4. You and any persons assisting with the move-out process should not be currently experiencing any fever, cough or shortness of breath symptoms. Also, no person will be allowed on campus if they have recently traveled to CDC Level 3 countries or been in close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case.
   5. The move-out process is only complete once the student has turned in their key and fob at the Neighborhood Service Office (NSO). This will be a contactless drop-off. NOTE – Room keys must be returned before leaving campus.
   6. During the assigned time all belongings should be removed from the room including any items in the refrigerator.

Apply for an exception to remain living in the residence halls:

1. 1. Some students have extraordinary circumstances that might require them to remain in the residence halls.
   2. Students who want to stay will need to complete an application for an exception to stay that will be reviewed for approval based on the case-by-case circumstances.
   3. All students that are approved with an exception may be moved out of their existing residence hall space and consolidated into one or two residence halls in one location on campus.
   4. Based on the number of students remaining on campus after Aug. 30, Campus Living will contact each student with additional information and instructions, which would include dining options.
   5. COMPLETE THE RESIDENCE HALL EXCEPTION FORM VIA THE LINK INCLUDED IN YOUR STUDENT EMAIL.
      

All residence hall students will receive a separate email from Campus Living with a specific link based on your residence hall. This form must be completed no later than Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020 at 5 p.m.

Please remember that this process is being laid out for the safety of our students, faculty, staff and administration. ECU will continue to provide information to our students and our parents as we want to keep you informed.

We know in some cases your roommate and suite mates may not be moving out at the same time or they may be staying, so focus on your parts of the room and suite. In these, we know that doing all the check-list items will not be possible. Please dispose of any items left in the refrigerator/freezers that belong to you. Trash in all cases should be taken to the trash room or if possible, the dumpster. Please do not leave mirrors in the trash room, please take those to the dumpster.

**If you have a rented loft, you may leave the loft in the room, and your bed lofted. College Products will pick up all lofts after students leave. If you did not pay for disassembly, please take your loft apart. DO NOT move your loft into the hallway or other public area. We are checking with College Products about lofts for students who are staying, and providing lofts for students who return for spring. More information will be forthcoming!
