Please select an available time slot on your assigned move-in day, according to your dorm. It is very important that you have selected the correct dormitory and this option can be found directly above the calendar. If you have flexibility on the day you are scheduled to move-in, please wait to sign-up to allow those without the same flexibility more options. Parents of new students will need to set up a Pick-A-Time account before selecting a campus arrival time. The time you select will be the time you should arrive on campus. The first stop for the move-in process will be the Smith Field House. This will be a check-in with the Health Center staff, when each student will take his COVID-19 test. We recommend arriving 10 minutes before your allotted time. Upon parking, each student should enter the Smith Field House accompanied by one parent. This COVID-19 test is retrieved from the anterior (lower) nasal passage. It is not the nasopharyngeal (deep) collection. For your reference, here are the instructions for gathering the sample. Please familiarize yourself with the instructions prior to your appointment. For assistance with logging into Pick-A-Time, please refer to the screenshots in this PDF. Move-In Guidelines - All students and parents will need to wear a mask when moving in and practice social distancing at all times. No more than two families at a time will be in any dorm unit.
- Your time to move items into your dorm room will be limited to 45 minutes. We recognize this is a tight timeframe, but we need to do so in order to make sure all students can move in on the assigned day. Please pack lightly and efficiently. We have allotted 30 minutes to complete testing, which is not included in the aforementioned time limit. For example, if you sign up for a 8:00 AM time slot, you should arrive at 7:50 AM, be done with testing by 8:30 AM and will have to have completed moving in by 9:15 AM.
- For each family, only one student and one adult may be in the building at one time.
- A student who does not have a negative COVID-19 test or who has not completed all the pre-arrival health forms in Magnus Health will not be able to remain on campus. We recommend that you bring a hard copy of the negative COVID-19 test result when you come to campus.
- Any student who is symptomatic or whose family member is symptomatic for COVID-19 should contact the Health Center at 845-855-4848 and reschedule their move-in day. Symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, body aches, headache, loss of the sense of taste or smell, sore throat, or gastrointestinal issues.
- Until the results from the students' on-campus COVID-19 tests are returned and all students in the dorm unit are negative, students will have to quarantine. They will need to stay in their rooms, with the exception of trips to the bathroom. Meals and snacks will be brought to them in their rooms. Faculty will check on them frequently. As soon as the test results for the dorm unit are returned, if all results are negative, the expectations and distancing guidelines will be communicated to the dorm residents. Test results should be returned within 12-24 hours after they have been received by the laboratory.
We thank you in advance for your help in making this run as smoothly as possible and for your commitment to the overall health and well-being of our community. We will not be able to accommodate requests for early move-in times. If you have any questions, please reach out to Dutch Keel, Dean of Residential Life, at dkeel@trinitypawling.org. We look forward to seeing you on campus! |
