While there isn’t an exact limit to the number of people you can bring, the fewer people you bring, the easier it will be for us to schedule your preferred move-in time. Please contact the Residence Life Office to schedule your check-in.

Unfortunately, the staff will not be touching personal belongings of any student due to concerns of COVID-19 spread.

If you miss your scheduled move-in time, please contact the Residence Life Office to reschedule, 715-394-8438 or by email. Again, all residents must arrange a move-in time prior to arriving on campus.

Due to an unprecedented number of single room requests, COVID-19 cleaning protocols, compounded with minimal storage space available, there will be no furniture storage this year. Please note, you may have signed up for a single room and have been placed in a room that is set as a double. All furniture must remain in the room, although your room can be configured how you desire.

Currently, we plan to keep the halls open throughout the fall semester. There will not be a requirement to move out. This includes after all classes transition to an online format after Thanksgiving. Please keep in mind that if significant community spread occurs, the university reserves the right to close or reduce the occupancy of the residence halls if absolutely necessary.

No health screenings are required, however physical distancing and face coverings will be required.

Please contact Disability Support Services at www.uwsuper.edu/dr or via email.

In accordance with UW System recommendations, the State of Wisconsin Emergency Order and the City of Superior, face coverings (such as masks or face shields for those who need an accommodation) are required in all indoor public spaces with limited exceptions and strongly encouraged outside when physical distancing is not possible.

We recognize that the requirement of wearing a face covering will be a cultural shift for our campus community, but we also know that wearing one is among the most important ways we can help keep each other safe and healthy. The Dean of Students Office will be enforcing compliance with these recommendations/orders and may issue sanctions up to removing students from housing.

Meal service and housing will be offered throughout the semester. No refunds are planned at this time.

Face coverings are required in all buildings on campus and outdoors when social distancing cannot be accomplished. One exception is in student rooms. Every on-campus student will be issued five masks at move-in check in.

To begin the semester, no guests are allowed on campus after move-in.

To begin the semester, students are not allowed to visit students in different halls. We suggest utilizing one of the other many beautiful locations on campus or a technology-based solution to connect. This interim policy will be evaluated on a constant basis and may be relaxed if we can do so safely.  

Yes. Computers have been spread out to maintain distancing, and disinfecting wipes will be available to clean the workstation prior to your use.

Unfortunately, due to disinfecting protocols and limited storage, no furniture storage will be available this year.

Yes. The refrigerator located in the kitchen will only be available for food preparation. Any food left in the fridge at the end of the night will be removed and disposed of. Students are allowed to have one mini-fridge per resident in their room if they so choose. 

Occupancy levels will be posted in all areas.

Residence Life staff is currently developing ways to engage each floor in programming. Please note, campus programming will be held virtually with some in-person programming opportunities available.

The housing and meal plan requirement is in effect for the academic year. If you are required to have a meal plan for the fall semester you will be required to have one for the spring semester.
