Preparations for the 2025-26 fall semester at West Virginia University start this week, and students will settle into classrooms by Wednesday, August 20. First, the incoming class will have a series of events to help them get to know their new surroundings.  The move-in process will get started Thursday and runs through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Interim Dean of Students and Vice President of Student Life Carrie Showalter said the plan adopted during the pandemic to promote social distancing by giving students an assigned two-hour block to move in was very orderly and is being used again this year.
