Returning Students
Returning Students Move-In Day
Our Returning Student Move-In Day, Saturday, September 2, 2023, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The day will be divided into several arrival timeslots. Students will receive an email with arrival details and a request to sign up for an arrival time in early August. We ask students to arrive only during their assigned move-in timeslot so we can manage a smooth move-in with our Emmanuel campus partners. All students will check in directly at St. Julie Hall.
Emmanuel College is hosting its campus move-in on September 3-4, 8:00 am-4:00 pm MCPHS residents are asked not to move items in during those times.
The Longwood Medical Area is a congested metropolitan neighborhood of Boston and home to many of the city’s hospitals, for which we must keep roads as clear as possible. Your adherence to this schedule helps us maintain a safe, comfortable, and orderly move-in. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your cooperation.
Welcome Home Checklist
To ensure a smooth and efficient move-in, please make sure you have completed the following.
- Financial Clearance: To receive your keys, you must be financially cleared by the Office of Student Financial Services. Representatives will be available to speak with you if needed upon your arrival.
- Immunization Clearance: You must have submitted all appropriate Immunization paperwork. Representatives will be available to speak with you if needed upon your arrival.
Housing Assignments
Our goal is to provide you with a pleasant and comfortable living environment where life outside the classroom encourages and supports the academic mission of the University. As room assignments were made, we made every attempt to honor your housing profile preferences but have limited space in each building.
Important Note: Room change requests cannot be honored at this time. Room changes may be requested after the first 14 days of the semester and only be accommodated based on the availability of space. Room Assignments are subject to change if the University deems it necessary.
Bring your MCPHS ID with you! You will use the same ID you had last year. We will issue you an Emmanuel ID upon your arrival. If you've lost your MCPHS ID, reach out to the Help Desk for assistance.
Mailing Information
Students will receive their Mailbox Information upon arrival to campus. Our Mailroom cannot accept packages for students prior to their arrival due to limited space. You may order items to arrive on campus after you have arrived. We encourage the use of our local City Target right in the Fenway Area, which allows pre-order and pick-up.

What to Bring to Campus
Each hall is a little different. Below you will find a complete list of what is included in the rooms, as well as what items you can and cannot bring. Be sure to take some time to look through the lists and discuss what you and your roommates plan to bring.
To help you get ready to move into your new home, we’ve created a guide outlining what is included in the rooms, what you can bring and prohibited items. Make sure to discuss what you’re brining with your roommate(s).
