The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa Student Housing Services<\/a> fall semester move-in takes place August 17–23. It will be a move-in like none before it because of the safety precautions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The dates and staging locations of move-in have been spread out to ensure de-densifying and social distancing.<\/p>\n

Due to health guidelines for physical distancing, all residents are required to sign up for a check-in appointment in order to move in. Residents are only allowed to move in during their designated time.<\/p>\n

During the students\u2019 move-in time they can bring up to two helpers, and all must be screened before being allowed into the residence buildings.
