CAMPUS & RESIDENCE LIFE IMPORTANT UPDATE

RESIDENCE HALLS - Moving Out, Limited Access and Operations (Please read all bullet points)

North Carolina's Governor has issued a shelter-in-place (stay at home) order. The Order is intended to restrict movement and flatten the curve of the spread of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. The Order is effective beginning at 5 PM on Monday, March 30, 2020, and will last for at least 30 days. Because of the order, the College must further limit access to residence halls beginning at 5 PM on Monday, March 30th. Details are below. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding. We are thankful every day for our BC community and are here to support you. Please let us know how we can best help you during this uncertain time.

Status Form - All Residential Students

BC's Housing Office needs information on your current housing status. Please take a minute today to complete the form below if you have not already done so. Your response will help us better understand who is on campus, who has moved out, and who still has belongings on campus. We need this information to provide various services for students on and off campus, such as meal planning and move-out scheduling.

>> FORM: BC RESIDENTIAL STUDENTS - HOUSING STATUS

Residents who left campus but still have belongings in rooms/halls:

Please read the NC Governor's full order and honor social distancing anytime while on campus. If you have not moved out by 5 PM on Monday, March 30th, you will not be able to access residence halls until at least April 30th. The College will provide guidance in the future about scheduled move-out dates. Accessibility will be based on national and local developments and may therefore be highly variable.

When you are ultimately able to return to campus, we have provided move-out sheets and envelopes on room doors for your convenience. Please complete the requirements for your room and leave your key(s) in the provided envelope when you move out.

Residents who have remained on campus

Please read the NC Governor's full order. The order significantly limits travel and activity. Please continue honoring social distancing requirements on campus and elsewhere. Off-campus visitors and guests are not allowed in residence halls at this time.

If you have special needs during this time, please notify campuslife@brevard.edu. You may call Campus Security (828.577.9590) anytime for general residential assistance. Please call 911 for emergencies and notify campus as soon as reasonably possible.
