Need a Test for Travel?
If your student will need a COVID-19 test for travel at the end of the school year, be on the lookout for an email from the Health & Wellness Center. We will provide a sign-up for PCR testing on campus during the last week of school. It is important you check the travel and testing requirements for your airline/destination, as these vary greatly and additional testing above what will be offered on campus may be needed. If you have questions, concerns or need to coordinate testing prior to the last week of school for travel purposes, please reach out to the Health & Wellness Center.
2022 - 2023 Course Selection
Returning student course selection for the 2022 - 2023 academic year concludes on May 2. Students will be working with advisors to make their selections. Please direct all questions to your student's advisor.

Campus Move Out
Brooks does not offer on-campus, summer storage. Instead, we have partnered with Dorm Room Movers to provide a hassle-free summer storage and shipping solution. They will pick up your student’s items from their room, store them over the summer and return them in the fall. Not returning to campus? Dorm Room Movers can ship your items anywhere in the U.S. and to over 30 countries. Learn more and register on their website or text (856) 369-3676 or call (888) 769-3676.
