Your Move-In Day

For the Fall 2025 semester, Worcester State’s resident student move-in is taking place over a two-day period on Labor Day weekend, with move-in for Sheehan Hall / Dowden Hall on August 31st, and Wasylean Hall / Chandler Village on September 1st.

There are no sign-ups required. Each student will receive an email with their move-in time around August 1st.

While you’re waiting for your time slot, take a look at our suggestions of what to bring (and what not to bring.)

OneCard & Keys

Always be sure to carry your OneCard and any keys you are issued with you at all times. Your OneCard functions as an access card that operates both the interior and exterior residence hall entrances and room doors.

The best way to ensure your safety and to protect your belongings is to lock your room any time you leave. This is especially important during move-in/check-in when there are many people in and around the residence halls.

Move-in Details

Unloading & Parking

To make move-in days as easy as possible, blue move-in carts will be available to help you and your family members unload your vehicle. Please plan to bring a majority of belongings during move-in (bedding, storage, clothing, fan, etc.) as there will be limited space for full move-ins during the check-in days for anything more than a couple of bags.

During check-in days, blue move-in carts will not be available and each student will only be given a small window of time to arrive on campus.

Move In Day just got easier

MicroFridge units are perfect for any residence hall room, and is equipped with a microwave, freezer and refrigerator all in one attached unit.

Before you move in, your MicroFridge will be delivered to your room so that you avoid the hassle of transporting your unit, and they also pick up your MicroFridge unit at the end of the year, once you are moved out!
