Welcome to a new academic year! Moving into college housing is an exciting time filled with new opportunities and experiences. To ensure a smooth transition, we’ve created a comprehensive Fall Move-In Checklist to help you stay organized before moving in and throughout the process. We hope our guide will make your move-in day stress-free and enjoyable. Let’s get started and make this the best year yet!
Prior to Moving-In

Room assignments were released on July 12th for the upcoming academic year. Sign in to Max>MyHousing to view your residence hall, room assignment, and suitemate(s). Familiarizing yourself with this information before arriving on campus is important. In addition, be sure to read the Fall 2024 On-Campus Housing Move-In Information blog post to determine what day and time you are designated to move-in. It is also highly recommended to reach out to your suitemate(s) to discuss who will bring what and to start getting to know each other.

On Move-In Day

As you approach campus, please follow the directional arrows to your appropriate residence hall. There will be a designated unloading area; park one vehicle here and any additional in the specified parking area. Once you are completely done unloading, move your vehicle to the specified parking area as well. If you have any questions or need assistance, student volunteers will be available to assist you.  After relocating your car, check in at your assigned residence hall to receive your room key and room condition report. Make sure to complete this form by the end of the day, as this important to the staff.

Spring 2022 Move-In Testing FAQs

Leave a comment

*** UPDATED AS OF 01/14/21 at 9:15 PM ***

If I tested positive with COVID-19 recently, will I still need to be tested at move-in?

If you tested positive for COVID in the past 90 days you are exempt from Spring 2022 move-in testing; however, you will still need to sign-up for a “test” slot for check-in.  In lieu of being tested, please show a copy of your provider’s letter and/or a copy of your COVID-19 test results.  (Your documentation will need to have a test date to ensure it meets the 90-day window requirement)

Can I return to campus on Day 5 of isolation or quarantine, per the new CDC guidelines?

Millersville University is using the guidance from CDC for congregate settings. The University requires a 10-isolation period for students who test positive with COVID-19 and a 10-day quarantine period for students who are unvaccinated and had a significant exposure to a COVID positive individual.

Are you accepting home test kits?

The University is providing FREE antigen testing at move-in.  We will NOT be accepting negative results from a home test kit.

Are your accepting negative test results from an outside facility?

A rapid Antigen or PCR test is acceptable if performed at a medical facility/pharmacy/doctor’s office, etc. Remember, tests need to be performed within 72 hours prior to arriving on campus. At-home tests are NOT accepted.

You still need to schedule an appointment for testing and show your results to the testing staff to be exempt from testing. They will then provide you with a clearance certificate to move-in to the residence halls.

What happens if I test positive?

Those with a positive result will be contacted and provided additional instructions. A student must return home to isolate for the required 10 days before returning to campus. More complete instructions will be given at that time. 

What about weather concerns for Sunday and Monday?

Additional testing has been scheduled for Tuesday, January 18, 2022 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the South Village Great Room for those who may be need that option. You may change your appointment through your MAX account as long as enough testing slots are available.

Where can I find more information about the actual testing process for move-in?

Spring 2022 Move-In Information: Testing & Process

Luek Hall (24 Pucillo Dr., Millersville, PA 17551) on Sunday, January 16, 2022 and Monday, January 17, 2022 before all students will be permitted to enter their residence hall. Testing on Tuesday, January 18, 2022 will occur in the South Village Great Room. This includes new and returning students, vaccinated and non-vaccinated students. Student-athletes are exempt from this process as they have already undergone testing in accordance with NCAA guidelines.

Students living in the residence halls will need to present to Housing staff proof that they have tested negative before they can receive their room key or move back into the halls. 

If a student has proof of receiving a negative test that was administered within 72-hours prior to arriving on campus, they may present this to the health care professionals during your scheduled time in lieu of on-campus testing. We do understand this may cause various logistical hardships, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work through this process, which is designed to keep you and our campus community healthy and safe.

1 Comment

What should you bring with you when you move into the residence halls? We’ve compiled a list of essentials that you should bring with you on move-in day to help you answer that question. Feel free to print out this list and check off items as you get them to keep track of what you have/don’t have.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the current COVID-19 situation, we ask that you do not pack everything you own, and that you stick to bringing the absolute essentials. Examples are listed below. This will also expedite the move-out process in the case that we need to fully close the residence halls due to the changing COVID-19 environment. Additionally, on-campus housing will be closed for the remainder of the semester on November 21, 2020 at 5:00pm. We stress that you pack lightly in order to simplify the move-out process.

Please note that we will NOT provide hand carts/trucks/dollies, so students should prepare accordingly to bring their own. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your continued cooperation as we navigate this challenging situation.

  • Bedding (sheets, comforter, pillowcases)
  • Pillows

  • Dustpan and brush
  • Computer/laptop
  • Cell phone
  • Medication(s)
  • Desk supplies (pens, pencils, scissors, stapler, etc)

  • A personal thermometer for daily self-screening
  • Mini-refrigerator (The University contracts a third party for leasing refrigerator and microwave units which are leased on a yearly basis and will be delivered to your room. For more information, visit the MicroFridge website.)

Essentials for your bathroom:

  • Towels
  • Hand soap
  • Toothbrush and toothpaste
  • Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, etc.
