Announcements & Coming Events

Students who will be new to WCSU and living on campus in the Fall of 2025 will soon be able to select rooms. In order to select your fall room, you must have:

Paid your housing deposit.
Completed your housing application using the Housing Portal.
Provided evidence of having received your meningitis vaccine within the past 5 years to Health Services.

Beginning Monday, May 5th, students who have a completed file (1-3 above) will be able to select a room for the fall. Once you have chosen your room, you must also select a Dining Plan (also on the portal). Please look at the Housing Costs page for more information about what plans are available - your choice of buildings sets what meal plans are available to you.

If you are hoping to live with someone specific, you may request them BEFORE you select your room. If the person you wish to live with does not have a complete file (see 1 - 3 above), they will NOT be shown when you search for them in the roommate request area of the Housing Portal. If the person you are requesting does have a complete file, their name will appear, and you may send them a roommate request, which they must approve before either of you selects a room. Then, when one of you is able to select a room, you will be shown available spaces where you both can live. Once you select, you will both be assigned to the room. [Remember, this match will ONLY work if you have requested someone and they have approved the request before either of you selects a room.] You may then select your dining plan. Your roommate will need to select their own dining plan.

If you don't have anyone specific that you're looking to live with, you'll be able to just go in and select from the rooms that you are eligible to live in. Don't forget once you've picked a room that you'll also need to select your dining plan.

Don't fret if you aren't all ready to go right on May 5th! The process will remain open for most of the rest of the summer (with a few minor closings for updates to the system from time to time.) Do keep in mind that the longer it takes to complete your application file, however, the more people will be selecting rooms, and your options will become fewer as time goes by.

By now, any current resident student should be well aware of the processes and procedures for closing. As a reminder, just in case you missed it.

The residence halls close for the 2024-2025 year on Friday, May 16 @ 6 pm. However, students are required to leave for the semester no later than 24 hours after their last exam, or by the 16^th at 6, whichever is earlier.

When you check out, make sure to follow the instructions for your building (all of which are posted throughout the building on the RA bulletin boards). You will minimally need to have all your belongings removed from the room, and your area and public spaces cleaned. An RA will review your room with you, and you'll need to sign out on a roster at the info desk. Please remember that your RAs do not make any billing decisions - that is done in an inspection that the RDs will do after the building closes.

Also keep in mind that if you did leave anything in the room, once the building closes, our maintenance and custodial staff will be in the rooms and will discard any belongings left behind, so be sure to double check before you sign out. Dumpsters are provided near all the halls for larger items that won't fit in trash chutes/rooms.

Graduates who are attending the senior cruise may stay in the halls until Saturday, May 17^th. Those who need to remain on campus in order to attend graduation on Monday, May 19^th may also do so, but both MUST make arrangements to stay late with the building's RD in advance. If you haven't made arrangements, you will be expected to move out by May 16^th.

There is no storage of furnishings or other belongings on campus for the summer.

Regarding mail and packages: please do not order packages with a delivery date after Friday, May 9^th. According to University Mail Services Guidelines, any packages received after May 9^th will be donated or discarded. You may also wish to complete a forwarding request to your summer address, which can be done at the mailroom in the basement of the Midtown Student Center so that your mail can be appropriately forwarded (* note that this does not allow for the forwarding of packages which are delivered by UPS, Amazon, etc.)

Finally, quiet hours for the semester begin at 11 pm on Thursday, May 8th, and continue through closing. Quiet hour violations generally have a 3-strike policy: if you're asked 3 times to keep the noise down, you'll be directed to move out immediately. Students who are involved in other possible University violations will be directed to move out immediately, with a conduct hearing to be scheduled following the end of the semester. We do this to provide an atmosphere that allows for students to study and prepare for exams as much as possible.

Here is the proper addressing for mail and Amazon packages. It is important to make sure Western Connecticut State University is in the address.

Only for Amazon orders:

For a new list of the updated cable channels, please click on this link: Television Channel Guide.

Your digital television must have a QAM tuner (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) to work with the school’s cable service. The QAM tuner allows your TV to receive high definition cable programming without a cable set top box. Unfortunately, some less expensive TVs come with a low quality QAM tuner that may not be able to pick up all the digital channels. You should verify the specifications when you purchase your TV.

An NTSC (National Television System Committee) tuner is not compatible. This TV will require a digital-to-analog converter box to view television signals. (See information below to purchase a converter).

An ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) tuner can receive digital signals but is not compatible with the school’s cable system.
