COVID-19 Communications

I want to provide you more details for the fall as it relates to your housing experience. There is nothing more important to us than your health and safety. Please view our safe campus video and check out the TCU Connected Campus website, which provides updates to our plans and procedures. We are focused on maintaining our sense of campus community, while also reducing the spread of COVID-19.

While the COVID-19 situation continues to change daily, move-out is planned for May 16 – 29. TCU continues to closely follow guidelines from the State of Texas and City of Fort Worth. Moving is deemed an essential activity and with close adherence to social distancing guidelines and careful planning and precautions, we believe we may assist you with the move out process while keeping everyone safe.

We acknowledge that in addition to your health and safety concerns, COVID-19 may have imposed financial uncertainties for students and families. All unused housing and dining fees for the spring 2020 semester will be returned to students – either through direct student account credits or refunds for graduating seniors. It’s our goal that all students are able to continue their academic career with us at TCU. Our financial services and financial aid teams will continue to work with students and families who require additional financial support. Please see more details below about the housing and dining credits applied to your student accounts.

We will not require move out by April 5. You may leave your items in your residence until further notice from us. We are delaying the move out process until we know more about the national guidance and travel restrictions. Until that time, you may retrieve belongings by appointment.

Our Chancellor announced today in an email to all students that TCU will move forward with online classes and virtual instruction for the remainder of the spring semester. If you have not had a chance to check your email, you can also view the full email here. As a resident of campus housing, whether in a residence hall room, apartment or fraternity/sorority chapter house, we are certain this raises questions for you.
