Parent & Family Weekend
Parent & Family Weekend
is a great opportunity to reconnect with your family by showing them your favorite study spot or coffee shop on campus, inviting them to sit in on one of your faculty lectures, participating in a St. Louis City bus or walking tour, catch a WashU Bears football game, and more.
If your family plans on joining us for Parent & Family Weekend, encourage them to visit our Parent & Family Weekend information page to view the schedule of events, register for the weekend, and plan their visit to campus. We look forward to seeing them on campus November 1st - 3rd!

You have already been introduced to your
WUSAs.
However, we want to remind you of their
presence during your first-year at WashU. The next year will be one of growth and adjustment.
Throughout this time, your WUSAs will serve as your academic and personal mentors, introduce you to certain WashU traditions, and help you adjust to the academic culture of your new home.
Each week, your WUSAs will spend two hours (WUSA hours) on your residential floor answering questions about academic deadlines (i.e. add/drop deadline, course registration, etc.), helping you find involvement opportunities on campus, and making connections with you and your peers.
We encourage you to attend WUSA hours and get to know your WUSAs, as they can be an important resource for you.
The Learning Center
One of the most utilized academic resources is The Learning Center. Through The Learning Center, there are several academic tutoring and peer mentoring sessions available, ranging in many academic subjects, as well as skills training workshops, such as time management and note-taking. Located on the South 40, The Learnin
g Center is a great resource for any academic questions you have or issues you face.
