Fhsu 2020-2021 Residential Life Plan

RESIDENTIAL LIFE PLANS AT A GLANCE

The full Residential Life reopening plan is accessible here. Updates reflected in this plan to housing and on-campus dining operations focus on enhancing student success and mitigating the potential spread of COVID-19, while still providing FHSU students with an engaging on-campus living experience. Major components are summarized below.

On-Campus Housing

  • Students will still have the choice to live with their selected roommates/suitemates whenever possible
  • Residents will occupy Stadium Place and Wooster apartments as normal with minimal adjustments.
  • Occupancy numbers in McMindes Hall will be reduced.
  • Assignments may be adjusted to other floors or buildings to reduce the number of students using community restrooms.
  • Furniture in double occupancy rooms  was arranged before fall move-in placing the beds approximately six feet apart.
  • Move-in dates and processes will be modified to reduce the number of people gathered in our buildings at the same time.

 

Residential Life Health and Safety Protocols

Students will continue to receive updates about terms, policies, and behavior expectations related to COVID-19. This Spring 2021 Guide for Students document provides further details concerning the fundamental health and safety requirements and related policies and protocols, that students residing on campus will be expected to follow. Remember, these plans, policies, and protocols are in addition to other University policies that apply to students residing on campus.

The University’s face covering policy, set forth in the  Phased Plan Toward FHSU Employee Return and University Reopening , will apply across the University. Students and employees should plan to have a face covering with them at all times.

 

Dining

In order to accommodate social distancing requirements, there will be a decrease in available seating in the McMindes Café, a picnic area  is available outside of the McMindes Café, and a takeout option  is offered. 

 

Contingency Planning

This plan focuses on providing a positive on-campus experience while adhering to local, state, and federal health protocols. Contingency plans are in place in the event circumstances require the University to introduce additional health and safety measures. We will continue to monitor and respond to new guidelines and recommendations from appropriate authorities.

  • Similar to the Spring Semester, if move-outs are required, prorated refunds will be provided to students.
  • Housing will continue to be available for any students whose circumstances require them to remain on campus.
  • We have reserved spaces for quarantine or isolation needs.
