Residence Hall
2021-22 Updated and COVID-19 INFORMATION
-
The residence hall will remain open for current residents who wish to extend into summer, as well as for the 21-22 school year. We will be returning to 100% capacity starting in Fall of 2022 which means all rooms will become shared rooms.
-
COVID-19 vaccines are encouraged for any summer residents.
-
Complete COVID-19 vaccines will be REQUIRED for all residents beginning Fall 2022. Any of the 3 approved vaccines are acceptable; Moderna, Pfizer, or Johnson and Johnson. For Moderna and Pfizer, “complete” means having received both doses.
-
Residents must confirm that they been vaccinated, or will be before arriving, on the initial application. Residents must then show their vaccination card at move-in to verify but will not keep copies of the vaccination card or other information on file.
-
Athletes who move-in early will be considered Fall students and vaccine will be required even if physically moving in prior to the start of Fall quarter.
-
If a student has a medical or religious exemption for vaccines they may still be able to live in the residence hall, but it is important to understand what living in a student resident hall entails. It is a shared, enclosed space that would pose a high risk for un-vaccinated residents, especially ones with an underlying medical condition that might exclude them from getting the vaccine. WVC has a single residence hall in what is called "Pod" style so we are unable to offer private living spaces.
- If changing circumstances prevent you from moving in WVC will refund both the $200 admin fee and $200 deposit as long as you cancel before checking in.
Current Residents still living in the hall for Spring 2021 must submit a continuing resident application if planning to continue for the 2021-22 school year. You do NOT need to make any additional payments. Space is still first come, first served so please submit your renewal application ASAP. You must also submit a separate Summer extension if you plan to stay in the hall for summer ’21.
Non-WVC students: students of other schools (WSU, CWU, etc) who have clinicals or other internships in the Wenatchee area during summer are eligible to stay in the WVC residence hall at our non-student/conference rate. Details and applications about this will be posted below soon.
Please note that in person application drop-off or payments will not be available until campus re-opens. Instructions for how to submit applications and make payments are on the instructions page of the application packet.
