Housing FAQ - COVID-19 - Ferris State University

When can I move into my on-campus housing for Spring 2021 semester?

Spring move-in will begin on Friday, January 15 through Sunday, January 17. Several dining operations will resume on Friday, January 15 as well.
Do I need to test for COVID-19 upon arrival to campus?

To protect the health of our on-campus living community, all students living on-campus are required to participate in free COVID testing and must sign-up for a time. This includes those students who stayed over the break and those living in the suites and apartments.

Once you take your COVID test, you will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble or Starbucks, or a $500 Amazon gift card grand prize. The testing and opportunity to win prizes is available to students who reside off-campus too. If you live off-campus and would like to participate in the COVID testing at the Student Recreation Center Jan. 15-17 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., please do so.
