Welcome, and congratulations on beginning your journey at Vanderbilt! This is the first of a series of newsletters you will receive before arriving to campus about important information, deadlines, and events.
Upcoming Deadlines:
Steps to Access University Systems ASAP
To ensure you are set up to receive important information and communications, you must create your VUnetID and enroll in Duo Security, Vanderbilt University's multifactor authentication solution.
Review the immunizations that you are required to receive before arriving on campus. You will not be able to register for classes until your immunization and tuberculosis documents have been received, reviewed, and approved for compliance by Student Health.
If you are seeking accessible housing accommodations due to a physical, psychological, or other disability-related limitation, contact Student Access prior to June 1. Review the information regarding reasonable accommodations and documentation guidelines. Following a decision that a housing accommodation is needed for access, Student Access will notify Housing and Residential Experience. The office will make every effort to find an appropriate and reasonable assignment as recommended by Student Access.
Log into Your Enrollment Services (YES) Portal to check your progress on several of the critical tasks and input your emergency contact information. Note it takes up to four days for changes in YES to appear within the portal.
Other Action Items
In addition to newsletters, you will also be receiving text messages through the summer with reminders. Make sure your correct cell phone number is in the system by managing your Personal Information in the YES Portal.
Check your Vanderbilt Gmail over the summer for a series of newsletters and important information about life on campus.
Visit the Welcome Website at vanderbilt.edu/welcome to explore important dates, plan your to-do list, check out pre-arrival programs like our summer webinars, and so much more!
