Spring Resident De-Densification

The W's Campus Renewal Task Force will continue to implement the plan to de-densify campus (limit the number of people physically in a given space) for the Spring 2021 semester. The university encourages any student fully enrolled in online classes to remain at their permanent residences for the Spring 2021 semester as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Residence halls will continue to be open for enrolled students who need to live on campus, however you must notify the university of your intent to do so.

Required Covid-19 Testing

All residential students will be required to complete a Covid-19 test prior to moving into their residence hall room for spring 2021. There are three available options for students.

Option 1: Test at their chosen local health care provider while at home (no more than 72 hours prior to check-in)

Option 2: Schedule a January 7th or January 8th appointment for a free, rapid test on campus by contacting the Office of Housing and Residence Life at (662) 329-7127

Option 3: Provide documentation of a past Covid-19 infection and/or positive antibody test
