Frequently Asked Questions
Residents will be expected to complete their move-in process, including check-in,
unloading and moving their items to their rooms within a two hour time slot. The limit is in place to provide adequate drop-off
spaces, temporary parking, move-in carts, etc.
Residents should check-in at their residence hall desk - please arrive at your
scheduled move-in time. Once you have checked in, you can unload your car and
bring in your belongings.
Once your car is unloaded, please move it to the designated temporary parking
lot for your residence hall. Cars left unattended in the designated drop-off
zone may be towed. The two hour time slot applies to the temporary parking
lots as well.
Residents may have helpers accompany them into their residence hall during the move-in
process. If possible, please limit the number of helpers to two per resident
to minimize congestion in the hallways and elevators.
Mountaineer ID cards will be available for students to pick up at their residence
hall front desk when they check-in as part of the move-in process. If you haven't
submitted a photo for an ID please do so as soon as possible at idphoto.wvu.edu. You'll be prompted to login to complete the process.
Several four-sided carts (similar to those used in hotels for laundry) will
be available at each hall during check-in. Carts are limited, so you may bring your own dolly to assist with move in.
Students can leave the hall and return, however parking will not be available due
to the on-going move-in process. Please note that streets around the residence
halls are congested and crossing traffic patterns to return to your hall adds
to the congestion.
If you are returning to your hall while move-in is ongoing, your family should
drop you off outside the designated move-in areas to allow other students to
access their residence hall during their scheduled move-in time slot.
Resident Assistants will have floor meetings each day during move-in. They will
have a list of students moving in each day and will send emails with information
about meetings and any other updates. Residents should check their MIX email account and watch for signs posted
on their floor. There will be staff at residence hall's front desk who
can answer questions.
If a student is not able to arrive on campus by the first day of classes, they must contact the Housing Assignments Office at 304-293-2811. If a student does not contact the Housing Assignments Office, their room assignment could be changed.
A few reminders..
Please monitor your MIX email account, WVU and Housing social media accounts and
the Housing website for additional information.
Pack lightly - the move-in process will go much more smoothly if you limit the
items you bring. You can purchase items online or locally.

Move-in Tips:
Use small boxes/containers to make carrying easier.
Bring only a single vehicle if at all possible.
We have four seasons – consider bringing items you will need for late summer/fall
and take those home with you at Thanksgiving break, and bring winter items when
you return.
Pre-order your MicroFridge. Check with your roommate – you can split
the cost – and you won’t have to carry it to your room. This is the
only microwave approved for use in WVU residence halls.
OCM has a wide selection of linens: sheets, blankets, towels, and more.
Order from them and they will deliver to your residence hall – you’ll
have more room in your car for you and your family!
You’ll want to personalize your space; try to connect with your roommate before
you arrive to avoid duplication. You may want to wait until you are on campus
to make your final purchases so you have a good feel for the space you've been
assigned.
Decorations are best hung with products that do not damage walls. Removing 3M Command
strips improperly may damage plaster and paint which will result in damage charges.
NO CANDLES. Please don’t bring them as we’ll ask you to send them back
home or discard them.
What to Bring and What
not to Bring
Check out the list of suggested items to bring with you to your new home away
from home. Coordinate with your roommate about what they are bringing and how
to maximize the space in your room.
Please note: the only microwave approved for use in residence halls is a MicroFridge,
available for rent through
MyMicroFridge.
Dining plans will be active when you move in. Students living in a WVU residence hall must have a dining plan, so be sure to
review your options and make the choice that best fits your lifestyle....and
appetite!
Billing
Bills were assessed and sent to your MIX email account during the first week of
July if you have a balance due. Your bill was determined based upon your
room assignment at that time. For information about your bill or payment, contact
The WVU Hub.
Move-in Details
Traveling to your hall
Follow our routes to reduce congestion.
You’ve packed the car and you’re ready for the drive to Morgantown.
You may have a favorite route into town and know your way around campus, however
we ask that you use the routes listed on our website
as they have been designed to minimize traffic crossover.
Find your community -
Evansdale,
Downtown or
Sunnyside - and select your hall to find the detailed directions.
Once you pull up to your residence hall, you can head inside to the front desk and
check-in. We ask that only you go and grab the key while your family/friends stay
at the car and begin unloading.
At the front desk you will formally check-in, receive any
keys (if appropriate), pick-up your
Mountaineer ID (if you haven’t received it yet), and receive a copy
of the
room condition report to review and submit feedback.
After check-in is complete, you will obtain a cart, if needed, and head back to
your car to begin moving in.
UNLOADING & MOVING YOUR VEHICLE
Unloading
Please unload your belongings and begin taking items to your room. Once your vehicle
is unloaded, you will move your vehicle out of the unloading zone as quickly
as possible. Please include contact information on the parking tag you were given
at check-in and hang it from your vehicle’s rearview mirror. If your vehicle
is left unattended for an extended period, it may be towed; we will attempt to
contact you first.
Parking
You may park your vehicle in a WVU-designated parking area are leaving the unloading
zone. Volunteers and University Police can provide directions to
short-term parking areas. These short-term lots (2-hour maximum) are busy all
day, so as soon as you have completed move-in, please move your vehicle off-campus
(the Coliseum or a downtown parking garage). Do not park in any restricted areas,
handicap-accessible spaces, private lots, etc. You could be fined and/or towed.
moving in
We will provide a move-in cart for you to use to load your items into (similar to
those used in hotels for laundry). There is a possibility they will be all signed
out, so we also recommend bringing a dolly, cart and/or other items to successfully
move you into your room.
It’s important for you to unload your vehicle and get everything into your room before
you begin unpacking and decorating. Don’t stress—you have plenty of time to make
your room your own! You can always go shopping to purchase what you need and order
items from online and get them shipped to your front desk.
WHAT WILL BE IN YOUR ROOM
In your room you will find all your room furnishings including a study desk,
chair, dresser, drapes, desk lamps, wastebaskets, and your bed with mattress.
To find the room dimensions for you hall visit our
Residence Hall page, click your hall and scroll down until you find the
room dimensions link. (each hall has their own room dimensions page so it is
important you choose your hall.)
Note-- If you have a multi-positional bed, please do not use the “top” rung
on the bed ends because the frame may be damaged when this setting is used (keep
in mind that not all beds are adjustable). Many students are charged for damages
that occur to the frames. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you want to raise your bed, you may use the 6 in. plastic risers which can be
found at any mass merchandiser.
next steps
Please take all trash and recyclables to the dumpsters located outside your residence
hall.
Please BREAK DOWN boxes before placing them in the recyclables unit. Improper use
of trash chutes (if in hall) during move-in causes damage and may clog the chute.

their items.
Keep an eye out for posted materials from your RA regarding your floor meetings and
Welcome Week meetings.
