New Students Moving to Campus

New students should arrive on Saturday, August 15. In order to control the number of people in the residence halls, we will have students sign up for a one-hour block to arrive on campus and move their belongings into their room. Each new student may have two people assist them during that time period.

Yes. New students may have two helpers for an hour of time. Students will sign up for a block of time when they will be expected to move into their room. A schedule will be available at SignUp.com on July 6, 2020.

Yes, New Student Orientation will begin on Saturday, August 15.

All domestic and international students will be expected to quarantine on campus until the college has completed its baseline testing process and received the results (anticipated to take slightly over 2 weeks). Students will not be permitted to leave campus during this period of time. They will be permitted to attend classes and other activities as long as they observe physical distancing, face covering, hand hygiene and other health and safety guidelines. Students who do not reside on campus will be expected to quarantine at home when not on campus.

If you are an international student/guardian of an international student and have additional questions, please work directly with Assistant Director for International Student Engagement, Megan Carmès, at carmes@stolaf.edu.

Our campus is still closed to visitors, but we are developing a self-guided driving audio tour of campus to start in mid-July. You will not be able to go into academic buildings and residence halls.  Guests will be required to pre-register their visit through the admissions office. More information will be available on the admissions website by July 10.

Unfortunately, Drop-off/Drop-by will not be taking place this year.

During our opening, Fairfield Inn & Suites and Archer House will have room for guests. If those are full, we’d recommend AmericInn. For more information on the move-in process, please visit our new student move-in website.
