COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement: For the health and well-being of our community, all Washington University students must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before they arrive on campus for the start of the fall academic term. Learn more.
Fall 2021 Learning Format: Guided by public health best practices, we will establish a hybrid learning format for this fall. The hybrid format will mean that some of your courses will be taught in person, on campus. Others will be taught online, via Zoom and Canvas platforms, with both synchronous (live) and asynchronous (recorded) content, in accordance with the professor’s preferred format and syllabus.

Our Virtual Admitted Students Week was held April 5-9. If you couldn't join us, you can still discover varied recorded sessions to help you learn more about our curricula, our community and student resources.
There will be a mandatory Brown School New Student Orientation (Scheduled for Monday, August 23 through Friday, August 27).
International Students attend an additional, mandatory Brown School International Student Orientation (Thursday, August 19 & Friday, August 20).

NOTE: As we get closer to the dates, additional details will be provided on the structure and format (online or on-campus) for these orientations and courses. Decisions will be made in conjunction with public health guidelines.
