How Will Self Move Out Work?

• Three distinct self move out processes (May 9 - June 10):

○ Students whose belongings were already fully packed (Bostwick, Johnson, pre-packed rooms in Polo) ○ Students whose belongings will be partially packed (Polo, North Campus Apts 6-10, Student Apartments A) ○ Students in all other residence hall communities

• Two distinct processes if you are NOT coming back to move out

○ Wake packs and stores for you (no charge to student) ○ You work with Storage Scholars (at student’s expense)

Public Health Reminders

• Individuals will be advised that they should not return to campus

if they meet any of the following criteria within the last 14 days: ○ Are currently experiencing or have experienced symptoms of possible COVID-19. ○ Been exposed through direct contact to a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case. ○ Any international travel or cruise ship travel.

On Campus Expectations

Approved students (and up to two move-out helpers) will be expected to:

• Provide their own and wear cloth face coverings at all times while they are on

campus.

• Maintain social distancing (6’ from other people) at all times while on campus.
• Students will be allowed to have no more than 2 individuals accompany them
• nto campus and help with their move out.

○ Students must be able to answer health screening questions for their helpers.

• Students are expected to abide by all local, state, and/or federal restrictions,

including stay-at-home orders, in travel to, from, and during their time in Winston-Salem.

Keys and ID Cards

• You need your Wake ID card and your room key.

○ If your key/ID card is lost, staff can let you in one time (then helper needs to open door). ■ Call 336-758-5185 upon arrival for lockout assistance. ■ Students who have lost ID cards will be given a temporary ID card at the gate for move-out only.

• NOTE: Deacon Place keys do not work; you will need to box your

items, move all boxes to front door, and leave 1 person inside to let you back as you transport to your car (staff cannot keep unlocking doors)

• You cannot pack all your own items but have Wake store the

boxes for you: ○ either Wake packs/stores it all ○ you move yourself out 100% ○

• r you employ Storage Scholars
• You cannot move out some of your items out but have Wake

store the rest (see above)

There are no hybrid move outs

Resident Student must be present

• The resident student has to be present to check-into campus,

access their building and room. It is a violation of the Student Handbook for students to give their key and/or ID card to another individual.

• A friend/sibling/parent cannot move out for you.
• A student can give proxy to their room/suite/apartment-mate to

move them out. Visit go.wfu.edu/s20moveout for details.

• Families with multiple students at Wake are encouraged to

contact us at housing@wfu.edu to discuss their options.

Campus Access and Closures

• The only cleaning RL&H requests is that you collect all trash in

your room and common spaces and dispose of it in the dumpsters.

• You will only have access to your residence hall, not other

buildings on campus.

• Most campus services are closed including: the post office,

dining venues, bookstore, Deacon Shop, Benson Student Center. ○ If you need mailing or shipping (or to buy boxes), look for UPS or FedEx etc. options off campus. ○ Generally speaking, bring what you need with you.

Overnight travel info

• Students cannot stay overnight in their rooms.
• Check local hotels for availability; many restaurants are doing

curbside pickup/order ahead. Understand availability could be limited.

• We encourage everyone to follow all public health

recommendations including social distance (6’) and to wear cloth face masks while off campus.

• Please see the CDC recommendations on travel
