Throughout the summer, you have been engaging with current students, faculty, and staff through interactive platforms like Zoom and the transfer student slack channel. Participate in the upcoming co-curricular sessions listed on the Bear Beginnings: Summer Engagement Series web page.
Get Your Bearings
Bear Beginnings: Get Your Bearings is an online orientation platform that will introduce you to key university resources. Later this week you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the online orientation platform. Make sure you complete Get Your Bearings by September 1st.
Fall Welcome
Bear Beginnings: Fall Welcome will begin the morning of Tuesday, September 8th and conclude the evening of Saturday, September 12th. You will meet with your WUSA small group, engage in academic experiences, and participate in a long-standing university tradition – Convocation. Some activities will take place in-person while others will be virtual to ensure safety precautions and physical distancing for COVID-19 can be followed. Students who chose to take their classes remotely will still be able to participate in Fall Welcome virtually.

All new transfer students, who hope to live in Residential Life-owned housing, are encouraged to complete the special housing selection process. In addition, we encourage you to connect with Dacoda Scarlett, Coordinator in the First Year Center, as you think through your circumstances and considerations.
We understand that this is a really difficult situation, and we are also disappointed that we can't provide housing for all of our juniors, seniors and new transfer students. However, this is a much needed step as a matter of protecting the health and safety of our students and our community during this pandemic. We are following the public health expertise and guidance of the American College Health Association, the CDC, and other public health officials and in switching to single rooms, we hope that this will limit the spread of the virus when students return.
