Residence Life Overview

To reduce the density in the residence halls, we are assigning one bedroom per resident student (2-3 people per suite), with a shared bathroom in each suite. This reduces the capacity of our residence halls to about 40%.

• Application Process: Housing applications will be handled first come, first served, with a priority given to students who have deposited by December 21, 2020.
  • Housing Contract: Students will be required to sign an updated Housing Contract with a new COVID-19 addendum before being approved for housing for the 2020-21 academic year.
  • As spaces are available, housing applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.
  • Monitor your MMC email for information from the Residence Life team.
• Health and Safety Protocol:
  • Residents will be expected to sign the Residential Wellness Pledge agreeing to practice recommended safety protocols to protect themselves and others from the spread of COVID-19.
  • Only residential students are permitted in the residence halls. A strict no-guest policy is in effect. The only exception is each student will be allowed one helper to move in. 
  • Should any residential students become sick, the College has set aside rooms at both 55 ^th Street and Cooper Square so that students can practice the mandatory isolation procedures while remaining supported by the College community.
• Move-In Process: To allow for social distancing, there will be an extended move-in process. Residence Life will be in touch with students to schedule move-in appointments.
  • Pack Lightly: To expedite the move-in process, we recommend packing conservatively and only bringing necessary items to campus. Should conditions require a closure of campus, this would also enable a more efficient move-out process.
• Quarantine & Isolation Policies for Move-In: Effective November 4, 2020, individuals arriving to New York from one of the restricted locations will be allowed to “test out” of the mandatory 10-day quarantine by providing proof of two negative COVID-19 tests. The first test must be obtained within 3 days of departure from that state. The individual then must quarantine for 3 days upon arrival in New York. On the fourth day, a second COVID test must be obtained. If both tests come back negative, the individual is allowed to exit quarantine.
• Students will be required to exercise the full 10-consecutive day quarantine if they do not obtain these two negative tests.
• Please see New York State’s COVID-19 Travel Advisory webpage for more information.
• Read MMC’s Quarantine & Isolation 101 Guide for specific details about the quarantine requirements upon arrival. (Please note that this document is intended to provide guidance for students traveling to New York from out-of-state and living in the residence halls. Comprehensive, College-wide quarantine and isolation protocols for the full academic year will be shared via email and posted to the website prior to the beginning of the semester.)
• If you are a student not living in MMC housing, you must make your own arrangements for quarantining. If you are a student living in MMC housing, you may quarantine in your assigned apartment/suite. If you are an MMC residential student from a restricted state and have quarantined for 14 days in a non-restricted state (including New York) prior to MMC housing move-in, you do not need to quarantine upon moving in, but we ask you to let residencelife@mmm.edu know you have completed your quarantine prior to your arrival.
