Transfer and Veteran Students

Welcome full-time undergraduate families and students enrolled on our Boston campus for the first time in Spring 2026.

Husky 101 Boston Orientation and Welcome Week will acclimate you to campus and the city of Boston, introduce you to new students and classmates, and provide you with the necessary resources and tools that support a successful transition.

Boston Move-in and Housing

Transfer and Veteran students residing on campus will be assigned a move-in date of either Saturday, January 3 or Sunday, January 4.

  • Housing assignments and move-in dates will be sent to students in December. In the same communication, you’ll receive information on how to request a move-in date change, if needed.
  • If possible, students should not book travel until they receive their official move-in date.
  • Please contact Housing and Residential Life or email [email protected] with questions.

Transfer and Veteran students residing off campus and needing assistance, please contact Off Campus Engagement and Support at [email protected].
