Greetings from Residential Life |

Dear parents and families,
We are excited to be able to house more students in the fall than we have been able to this academic year. However, due to COVID-19, we are still not at full capacity and have made other adjustments to ensure we can accommodate as many students as possible while adhering to safety and public health guidelines.
We will be hosting a webinar for families to answer questions about the 2021-2022 housing application process on Monday, February 22nd at 5:30 PM.
Thank you,
Kawanna Leggett
Interim Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs and Dean of Students
Sheryl Mauricio
Associate Dean of Student Conduct and Community Standards
Interim Executive Director of Residential Life

Housing Selection 2021-2022 Announcements |
|

We know this was a unique year and tough decisions were made. It's a new year and Res Life is excited to have you live here with us at WashU. This newsletter will cover key dates on our housing selection process and share important updates.
It will be important, as we continue to navigate COVID as a community, that all students are familiar with our 2021-2022 Terms and Conditions before signing their housing contract. Housing will be available to all undergraduate students seeking housing for the upcoming year. Though this past year was not what many of us planned, we hope you know that Residential Life remains committed to creating a safe environment where students can engage and grow.
