Disability Resources is WashU’s designated office responsible for determining and coordinating accommodations necessary for the equitable inclusion of disabled students. Students with identified disabilities are encouraged to engage with Disability Resources. As accommodations are not applied retroactively, Disability Resources recommends initiating requests prior to, or at the beginning of, the academic term to avoid delays in accessing accommodations once classes begin.

Students will be added to a Canvas course that will walk them through the College of Arts & Sciences registration process and what the academic transition to WashU will entail. With any questions, contact transfer@wustl.edu.

Students interested in taking math, language classes, College Writing, general chemistry, music classes, or dance during their first semester at WashU may be required to take placement exams. Students should discuss this with their academic advisor when registering for classes.
