Announcements & Coming Events

New and Transfer Students:

Move-in will be from 9 am - 12 pm on Friday, August 23rd. Students will receive an email which will assign a 1/2 hour block, during which you'll be able to park, check-in, unload your vehicle, and move your cars to the White Street Parking Garage. Check-in will be at your residence hall entry, so please go to the building you've been assigned to. Crews will be on hand on Midtown to help with the unloading and carrying of your belongings to your rooms.

At about 12:30, you'll want to start to line up for the annual Entering the Gates ceremony, which is the official beginning of your time as a WCSU student. Following the ceremony, there will be activities and information from a variety of campus offices and organizations on the Quad, and more events throughout the first week of classes to welcome you to WCSU.

Returning Students:

Move-in will be from 10 am - 6 pm on Sunday, August 25th. An assigned move-in time was sent to your email earlier this week. When you arrive, please follow the same process - park in the designated areas, check-in, unload your vehicle, and move your car to a space outside of the move-in area. Please use caution near Pinney Hall, as it is under renovation and there may be construction fencing and vehicles near the building.

Early arrival requests are no longer being accepted.

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.
