21 for Spring 2021

FAU Students, Faculty and Staff,

Today’s second “21 for Spring 2021” email covers topics related to Housing and Residential Education, Dining Services, and Transportation Services.

Housing and Residential Education

Residential students received detailed information regarding spring semester move-in procedures from the Department of Housing and Residential Education via email on Dec. 18.

A COVID-19 PCR test is required to check-in to FAU residence halls. PCR tests are considered the “gold standard” in identifying COVID-19 as the system allows detection of very small quantities of the virus that would not be detected with other tests. All Spring 2021 residential students will be required to present a negative COVID-19 test result by January 11 at 9 a.m. The test results submitted must be from a test conducted between Dec. 28, 2020 – Jan. 7, 2021. It is recommended that students have the test no more than three days prior to their move-in date.

If residential students fail to provide a test by the required date, their access to the Recreation and Fitness Center and their residence hall/student apartment will be disabled. These students will then be asked to go to Student Health Services to obtain a COVID-19 test before their access is reactivated.

Move-in began on Tuesday, Jan. 5 and will continue through Saturday. New students will participate in an appointment-based check-in process. This will allow each student and family time to transition to campus with reduced traffic. Students can sign-up for move-in appointments on the housing portal.

Current COVID-19 processes related to face coverings, physical distancing, cleaning/disinfection, guest policy, and shared community spaces will remain in place for Spring 2021. Students are required to follow all University guidelines even if guidelines are different in local cities or counties.

Additional information is available on the residential move-in information web page.

Students interested in employment on campus for Fall 2021 can apply for one of three student positions with the Department of Housing and Residential Education: Resident Assistant, Desk Assistant, or Community Service Officer. Students who are planning to take classes in Summer 2021 can apply for summer housing on the housing portal when the Summer Housing Application opens March 1.

Questions can be directed to Housing and Residential Education at housing@fau.edu or 561-297-2880.

 

Dining Services

Dining Services hours are available here. All retail locations are take-out only. The Atlantic Dining Hall has limited seating.

FAU dining facilities undergo stringent cleaning and sanitation procedures in accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Visit the Dining Services website for additional information.

 

Transportation Services

Visit the Parking and Transportation website for detailed information and schedules. Face coverings are required on the FAU-operated shuttle bus and within other official FAU vehicles.

Remember to Protect Your Owl Family. Following safety protocols and public health recommendations will limit COVID-19 on our campuses, as well as locally and across the country.

Students and employees need to continue reporting to Student Health Services (561-297-3512, select option 3) if experiencing COVID-19 or flu symptoms, are exposed to COVID-19 (even if out of the area) or test positive for COVID-19.

General questions related to the COVID-19 situation should be directed to FAUCOVID19@fau.edu. All feedback is shared with applicable departments across FAU campuses to ensure adjustments as necessary. Visit the FAU coronavirus website for additional information.
