Honor Code: The Vanderbilt Honor Code serves as a cornerstone for academic integrity, fostering a culture of honesty and accountability within the university community. It entrusts students with the responsibility to complete their academic work independently, without unauthorized assistance. Upholding the Honor Code not only reinforces ethical values but also cultivates an environment conducive to genuine learning and scholarly excellence. Learn more about the Honor Code in the Student Handbook.

Course Registration:Your Enrollment Services (YES) allows you to explore the class schedule for fall 2025 and to store your class selections in a shopping cart. You will receive a registration packet from your school in late May or early June that will include the exact dates of your registration windows, information on how to match your class choices to the requirements in your school, and how to contact an adviser. Your packet will either be mailed to your home address or sent to your Vanderbilt email. You may review additional academic resources online.

Summer Assignment: Every incoming class has something in common before arriving on campus: completing a shared summer assignment exploring how to facilitate conversations and build connections through curiosity. Your summer assignment is to identify someone in your community you find interesting or you think may have experiences or perspectives different from yours, conduct an interview, and articulate what you learn in the process. In June, you will receive a letter from the dean of The Ingram Commons outlining your assignment in detail. By August 11, you must submit your completed assignment via your Vanderbilt Visions Brightspace course (available August 1). Your submission will be shared with your VUceptors. Additional resources are available to support you at vu.edu/summerassignment.
