COVID VACCINE COMPLIANCE DETAILS

WE EXPECT that COVID COMPLIANCE for the 2022-2023 Academic Year will require students to be in compliance with WOU’s Vaccination Policy prior to moving into your 2022-23 academic year room.

This means that students must be FULLY VACCINATED or have an APPROVED EXEMPTION on file with Student Health and Counseling.* The SHCC will notify us of the status of compliance status of students prior to move-in. If you are not in compliance – YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHECK INTO YOUR ROOM .

* Proof of vaccine or exemption form must be submitted to the Student Health & Counseling Center.

CONTRACT AND PLACEMENT INFORMATION

For all students who do not select a space, you can look online (your Housing Overview page. Look for “University Housing Overview”) to see what hall you are placed in as well as who your roommate will be. Any other changes made to placement information throughout the summer will show up on your Housing Overview as well.

Electronic contracts (which include your Meal Plan selection) and an Emergency Information-Authorization Form (EIAF) for you to read and electronically submit are expected to be available in late July, and due to be submitted no later than mid-August. NOTE: BOTH of these items MUST be completed PRIOR to your check-in appointment.
You should plan to submit your signed contract and EIAF upon receipt to hold your housing reservation.
