If you are a student returning to campus from outside the state of Massachusetts, we ask that you return to campus on Monday, January 18 so you can complete your quarantine and testing requirements prior to the start of classes. If you are an out-of-state student, planning to return to campus on January 16 or 17 and cannot change your travel plans, please email housing@salemstate.edu for assistance.
For those students who previously selected a move-in time for Monday, January 18, we will honor your original time. If you do not select a time prior to January 7, a move-in day and time will be assigned to you.
You will receive a reminder email with detailed move-in information on January 8. Any student that shows up outside of their scheduled move-in time will not be permitted on-campus until the next testing time available. Please be sure to come during your scheduled move-in time.
