- COVID-19 Travel Advisory - In response to increased rates of COVID-19 transmission in certain states within the United States, and to protect New York’s successful containment of COVID-19, the State has joined with New Jersey and Connecticut in jointly issuing a travel advisory for anyone returning from travel to states that have a significant degree of community-wide spread of COVID-19. Please review and stay up to date on the guidance being shared via this link as it may change.
If you are living on campus, you will be notified of your move in date into your assigned residence hall. Please note, your room will NOT be available to move-in before your assigned move in date. Be sure to make travel arrangements accordingly.
If you plan to arrive in New York before your move in date, you will need to make your own hotel or local accommodations until move in day. More information is available at our On-Campus and Local Accommodations Page.
