On behalf of all of us in the Division of Student Affairs, congratulations on your acceptance to WashU! We are here to help you prepare for your arrival on campus.
The Bear Bulletin is a monthly newsletter sent to all new students. It contains important information about move-in, deadlines and orientation which we call “Fall Welcome.” Please note, the Bear Bulletin will be sent only to your WashU email account beginning June 1.
