Housing and Residential Services is excited to welcome students back this fall, whether you are returning or coming to campus for the first time. Just know that there is space and support here in the residence halls to help you succeed.
Continue to monitor your emails and the Move-in page for important updates on your arrival for the fall semester. There will be a centralized check-in process for all our residents. It is imperative that a member of the housing team completes your check-in process and will be able to answer any remaining questions you may have at that time. As you continue to #StayWithUs - together we will strive to keep our community a caring and welcoming space for all. This is truly the “Value of Living On-Campus”.
See our Move-In Day from 2023.
Athletes
Fall sports training camps are by invitation only through the athletic department. All student-athletes on the roster were emailed their invitations and training camp details in early June to their Fitchburg State student email.
Check-in dates can be found on the athletics department website. If you need additional information you may contact Athletic Director Matt Burke at mburke43@fitchburgstate.edu.

I love the independence I've gained living away from home and the connections and experiences are incredible. I've made many friends, memories, and have become a part of the community in so many rewarding ways.
