Indiana University students began moving in to on-campus residences Sunday as part of the university’s expanded Fall 2020 move-in process, which includes mandatory drive-through COVID-19 testing at Memorial Stadium.
The university lengthened its residential move-in timeline to two weeks as part of its adapted start to the 2020-2021 school year in adherence with local and national coronavirus prevention guidelines. A news release says this will ensure there are no more than 1,500 moving in per day.
Upon arrival, students are screened for COVID-19 symptoms and undergo mandatory testing. The university’s testing process can see results in less than 30 minutes.
Once testing negative, students must sign a commitment outlining their agreement to potentially relocate to an isolation location should they test positive for the virus, as well as the university’s Community Responsibility Acknowledgement.
