During orientation, you will have the opportunity to talk to other students and faculty members and prepare for success at Westminster.
9. Move Into Your Residence Hall
There are no early move-ins unless you are in a preexisting early arrival group.
The Office of Residence Life will be housing residents at standard capacity for Fall 2021. Therefore, Westminster is taking several precautions to ensure the health of residential students:
- All students must prove their COVID-19 vaccination status before moving into campus housing. You will receive a form for this in early August.
- Unvaccinated residents must complete a COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Antigen FIA test or PCR
test within 120 hours prior to arrival. You must upload your test results to the COVID-19 Test Form. You will not be able to move in or receive keys without completing the form and
submitting your results.
- If you want to be tested for COVID-19 on campus, call Student Health Services at 801.832.2239 to schedule an appointment. You can fill out appointment forms before arriving.
- Unvaccinated residents must be routinely tested for COVID-19 throughout the semester. Student Health Services will perform testing.
- Students living on campus can expect housekeeping to continue to clean with CDC protocols in mind.
- Quarantine housing space will be available on campus for residents who do contract COVID-19.
- Westminster’s guest policy for Fall Semester is limited to Westminster community members only. The college hopes to be able to lift all guest restrictions by Spring Semester within CDC protocols.
