3| fall 2021 move-in guideLiving on campus
can be an exciting and
rewarding experience.
As a citizen of our residential community, you have the
convenience of living close to classes, the library, laundry
facilities, tutors, computer labs, and the Student Health Center.
WELCOME Moving into a residence hall can be unpredictable. To make the
TO THEE transition easier, the Department of Housing and Residence
Life has created this guide to help answer your questions before
you pack your bags.
The Fall 2020 Move-In Guide details move-in days, parking
services, directions, and other important information.
Department of Housing and residence life | 4Immunization
records
All students are required to have
up-to-date immunizations in order
to move into the residence halls.
If you have questions about immunizations,
please contact the Student Health Center at 601.979.2260.
5| fall 2021 move-in guideBEFORE YOU
ARRIVE TO
CAMPUSMake sure that your
registration is complete
1. All students must be registered for twelve (12)
or more credit hours.
2. All tuition and housing charges must be paid prior
to moving in.
Meet your roommates
before Move-in Day
To find your roommate(s) information:
1. Log into your THD Self-Service Portal.
2. Scroll down to “Assignments.”
3. You will see a list of the occupants of your room,
suite, or apartment.
• If there is no occupant listed, it means there
is no roommate currently.
• Please note that limited information may be
available if your roommate has set their profile
to “Private.”
Moving and Packing Tips
Pack Ahead of Time
Pack up things you know you won’t need during the summer. Put
those winter coats, extra towels, bed sheets, and school supplies in
storage bins/moving boxes as soon as possible. It’ll save you time and
stress later.
Review Move-in Checklist
Review the move-in checklist to make sure you have everything you
need to set up your room. This will ensure that you won’t have to make
multiple trips to the store.
Open First Box or Overnight Bag
Have a box or bag ready with things you may need right away – linens
for your bed, change of clothes, personal care items, phone charger, etc.

DAY
Department of Housing and residence life | 14In order to provide a socially-distanced and efficient move-in
experience, each resident is assigned a specific day and time to move in.
Specific floors may be further assigned to either morning or afternoon
arrival times.
When You Arrive
1. Please report to the Athletics & Assembly Center (AAC) to receive
your health clearance from a JSU Health Center representative.
2. After receiving your health clearance, you will report to the JSU
Housing & Residence Life representative to receive your housing
clearance.
3. Once you have received both your health and housing clearances, you
may report to your assigned residence hall to move in.
- If you do not receive your housing clearance, you must report
to the One Stop Shop located in the JSU Student Center
Ballroom to complete your registration.
When You Arrive to your
assignED residence hall
1. When checking in to your residence hall, unload your
belongings directly onto the sidewalk area.
2. Parking in front of the halls is limited; stay with your
belongings while someone else moves the vehicle to the
lot reserved for move-in.
3. Report to the check-in area for your residence-hall
assignment, which will be designated by signage.
4. You will be provided with a Room Condition Report to
complete, an inventory of your new room’s condition, and your
room key or access card.
EARLY MOVE-IN
It is not possible to move in earlier than stated without prior approval.
Campus maps and driving directions to each residence hall can be
found online. Students who move-in early and DO NOT APPLY for
an Early Arrival will be fined and charged for each day they arrive early,
factoring in their scheduled arrival day and time.
LATE MOVE-IN
If you intend to arrive later than the designated move-in dates, you must
notify the Department of Housing and Residence Life. Email your
name, J-number, and intended arrival date to housinginfo@jsums.edu
before the semester begins. Failure to do so will place you in no-show
status and jeopardize your room assignment.
15 | fall 2021 move-in guideMOVE-IN
GUIDELINES
Department of Housing and residence life | 16Students must provide proof of full vaccination (Moderna/Pfizer: Two Shots,

of the test results upon arrival to campus. All proof of vaccination and/

by using the following link: https://web-tools.one.jsums.edu/COVID_

Students who do not provide this document will not be allowed to move
into the residence halls. The JSU Student Health Center will review the
document for a negative result, at which time the student will receive
clearance from the Health Center Staff.
Resident assistants and limited volunteers will provide directions and
assistance while you move into housing and distribute room keys and
important documents. We recommend bringing limited family or friends to
assist you. All individuals will be required to wear masks.
GUESTS ON MOVE-IN DAY
Each student will be allowed ONLY two individuals to assist them with
moving in. Those two individuals must provide proof of full vaccination
(Moderna/Pfizer: Two Shots, Johnson & Johnson: One Shot) or show proof of
a negative COVID-19 test result dated at least 3 days before their student’s
move-in date. Proof of ID must be submitted with the test results upon
arrival to campus. All guests will receive a health clearance pass to proceed
on campus. If a guest cannot provide a negative test result, they will not be
allowed in the residence halls.
Students Who Test Positive
After Arriving On Campus
Students whose permanent address is within five hours of campus are
advised to quarantine at home. In extenuating circumstances, these students
are allowed to quarantine on campus.
