One of the many exciting experiences that come along with going to college is getting to be on one’s own and live on campus. Living on campus provides students with easy access to all that their school has to offer, while having a front row seat to their education. Being on campus also creates a bridge for students to meet new people and make long-lasting friendships during their time at school.
There are a few new changes happening for housing at Kean becoming effective during the Spring 2022 semester. Some of these changes include:
Improved Guest Visitation

ACCESS tutoring is back

For guests to be permitted into the resident halls, they must provide proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test at least 24 hours before arriving on campus. PCR tests must be completed within three days of visiting, rapid tests will not be accepted. Masks must be worn by everyone in all common spaces.
