BEAR ESSENTIALS FOR STUDENTS
Introduction Welcome to Washington University in St. Louis! We are thrilled to have you as a member of our community. We know this is both an exciting and stressful time for you and your family. ”Bear Essentials for New Students” provides a brief overview of important to-do items for you to complete over the summer, as well as key resources that will aid in your success. We know that it’s not a typical summer or year, but we hope you will find a moment of respite to reflect on your hard work and accomplishments that have led you to WashU. Those tools and strategies will aid in your success in college. We have been working hard to prepare for your arrival. Before you begin classes, you will participate in Bear Beginnings: New Student Fall Orientation. Teams of Washington University Student Associates (WUSAs), students who serve as orientation leaders and peer mentors, will assist you in getting settled and ready for your first day of classes. They will continue to guide you throughout your first year. In addition to the WUSAs, you will meet faculty, staff, and student leaders who are ready to help you make the adjustment to college life. Take the time to get to know them. While the first day of classes is still many weeks away, there are many important action items you need to complete before you arrive to campus. At the end of each section of this resource book, you will find a list of important to-do items. A summary of them can be found on the inside back cover, which you may want to tear off and use as a quick reference guide. In addition to reviewing “Bear Essentials”, visit newstudents.wustl.edu which will provide information in greater details. We cannot wait to meet you. Best wishes as you begin your WashU journey!

Establish Access WUSTL KEY, WEBSTAC, AND STUDENT EMAIL Your WUSTL Key is the set of login credentials (login ID and password) you’ll use to access WebSTAC and many other WashU online services. All entering first-year and transfer students receive an email notification from the University Registrar with information about their WUSTL Key, WebSTAC, and their university email address. WUSTLkey.wustl.edu; WebSTAC.wustl.edu; email.wustl.edu
Use your @wustl.edu email. It’s very important that you start using your WashU email address once you have it. It’s the main way you’ll receive a lot of information from the university. Remember to check it several times a week!
WEBSTAC.WUSTL.EDU Web STudent ACcess is an online WashU platform where you register for courses, see your grades, request official transcripts, review billing information, check your meal plan points and Bear Bucks activity, and more.
PREFERRED NAME Washington University recognizes that many students prefer to use names other than their legal names to identify themselves. Any student on the Danforth Campus may choose to identify a preferred first name in addition to their official name of record. Students can add or change their preferred name on WebSTAC.
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS | 1
CONTACT INFORMATION Please check your WebSTAC account to make sure your mailing address and cell phone number are listed correctly. It’s also good to make sure your parent and family member contact information is up-to-date, including mailing addresses, home and cell phone numbers, and email addresses; this will ensure they receive important university communications and emergency notifications. You can make mailing address and phone number updates yourself in WebSTAC. To change the listed family member email(s), please visit families.wustl.edu and select “communications,” where you will find a form to update this record.
PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION The privacy of your student record is protected by law under the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Certain pieces of “directory information” on your record may be publicly available, such as your name, mailing address, and phone number, unless you have placed an information restriction on your record, which is your option under the law. You can remove yourself from the public directory via WebSTAC.
DUO: WASHU 2FA TWO-STEP AUTHENTICATION WashU 2FA—a two-factor (or two-step) authentication service provided by Duo, an industry leader in cybersecurity services, adds a second layer of security to your WUSTL Key account when accessing the many WashU systems, which may contain sensitive personal information. By verifying your identity through the use of a second device, hackers and identity thieves are prevented from logging in these systems, even if they know your WUSTL Key ID and password. Through Duo, you’ll be alerted immediately if someone tries to log in using your credentials. Learn more at it.wustl.edu.

COURSE REGISTRATION You will register for fall 2020 courses online via WebSTAC in mid July at your assigned registration time. You received information from your academic division in early June with the name and contact information for your academic adviser, who will speak with you about the course selection process as well as your assigned registration time.
PREPARING FOR REGISTRATION AP/IB/TRANSFER CREDITS Washington University generally accepts AP scores of a 4 or 5 for credit. Some departments will give you credit based solely upon your AP score, whereas other departments give “contingency credit” based upon your AP score and completion of a higher-level course. Some departments do not grant credit, only placement into a higher-level class. Questions regarding International Baccalaureate (IB) and credit for college-level course work should be referred to your school’s registrar to determine appropriate placement and credit. PLACEMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC EXAMS Students interested in taking certain courses at WashU may be required to take placement exams. These courses include: •
Calculus and math
•
General chemistry
•
Computer science
•
Music
•
Dance
•
Writing
•
Foreign languages
Many of these exams can and should be taken online during the summer prior to course registration. We encourage you to complete the online placement and diagnostic exams prior to speaking to your academic adviser about fall course selection. When you take the exams, be sure to write down your final scores and have them available when consulting with your adviser. To learn more about the placement exams, please visit newstudents.wustl.edu.
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS | 5
COMBINED STUDIES While there are four separate undergraduate schools, WashU does not limit students to just one area of study. Each of the four schools has different course requirements for its degree; however, these requirements do have room for you to get an additional major/minor, or even a dual degree. If you desire to pursue a combined studies curriculum, you should: •
Attend the combined studies program during Bear Beginnings: Fall Welcome
•
Speak with the school(s) and/or department(s) that interest you
•
Seek guidance from your academic adviser, who is extremely knowledgeable about their school’s program
ACADEMIC ADVISING Washington University is committed to providing students with the assistance and support needed to achieve their academic goals. As part of that commitment, WashU provides each student with an academic adviser. Your academic division will match you with an adviser who will help you plan a successful course of study, navigate course listings, and assist you with choosing classes that correspond with your interests. Advisers meet with students each semester, or more if desired, to discuss academic, personal, and career goals. Your adviser reached out to you in June to help you prepare for class registration in July.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL ADVISING Interested in a future in the health professions or a career in law? Learn more and sign up for the pre-health or prelaw listserv. Pre-Health prehealth.wustl.edu Pre-Law artsci.wustl.edu/resources/ prelaw-advising
DISABILITY RESOURCES Disability Resources (DR) is the official resource for students with learning, attention, visual, hearing, psychiatric, mobility, or medical disorders. Students should visit the DR website and review the requirements for documenting their disability and requesting accommodations. Students should submit their documentation well before course registration to be sure there is no delay in accessing accommodations once classes begin. Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis. disabilityresources.wustl.edu
(314) 935-5970
disabilityresources@wustl.edu
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY The university takes the academic integrity policy very seriously. All violations will be reported on your graduate and professional school applications. To help avoid and manage the stress that may lead a student to violate these principles, many academic resources are available. Student Conduct and Community Standards works closely with the Academic Integrity Deans of each college, as well as other administrators and offices, in order to promote and educate students about the standards and community expectations in our academic community. The Student Conduct Code can be found by visiting the Student Conduct and Community Standards website. studentconduct.wustl.edu
Please make sure that you familiarize yourself with the Student Code of Conduct, as well as your individual college’s policy.
COMMON READING PROGRAM In the same mailing as “Bear Essentials,” you received a copy of the Common Reading Program selection and reader’s guide. Chosen by a selection committee of students, faculty, and staff, the Common Reading Program text is an interesting and stimulating read, one that underpins your first academic experience at Washington University. WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS | 7
Read the text before your arrival on campus and think about its themes. You will also complete an analysis of the text that should be submitted to your discussion leader before your arrival to campus. You will receive information about your discussion leader in late summer. All first-year students will participate in a lively group discussion of the text led by a member of the WashU faculty or staff. We urge you to approach the Common Reading Program discussions in a spirit of openness. There are no right or wrong answers, no grades, and diverse viewpoints and perspectives will be encouraged and respected. Throughout the first semester, you will encounter themes from the text in classes, discussions, and engaging programming.
STUDY ABROAD Understanding other cultures, languages, and countries is important, whether you’re an environmental engineer, artist, architect, accountant, or historian. Washington University offers many ways to incorporate international study into your undergraduate program. Each undergraduate school has developed high-quality study abroad opportunities that enhance the strengths of our undergraduate programs. We offer a variety of full-year, semester, and summer programs that allow you to earn credit toward your major or minor while studying abroad. Each year, WashU undergraduates study in more than 50 different countries. sa.wustl.edu
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH Many WashU students participate in research. The key to getting started is finding a subject you are passionate about and making connections with faculty who share that interest. Get to know professors, teaching assistants, and upper-division students in your courses or in a variety of departments to explore your interests and find some of our undergraduate research opportunities.

As a member of Residential Life housing, you will be encouraged and supported in your intellectual development through forming relationships with students, faculty, and staff.
RESIDENTIAL LIVING AS A NEW STUDENT Washington University has designed spaces that enhance student learning and enrich community. As a first-year student, you will live in one of the 10 residential colleges in a section of campus known as the South 40, located at the southwest end of the Danforth Campus. Our residential colleges were created to foster inclusive, diverse communities and promote thriving with an implemented staff model that includes faculty, professional staff, and student staff support. Each residence hall has lounges, study rooms, personal computing, and collaboration rooms. Each residential college has a residential college director (RCD). This full-time staff member lives in residence and facilitates community engagement within the college, assists in day-to-day operations, and manages the team of resident advisors (RAs). RAs are trained upper-division students who live in residence and serve as leaders and peer student mentors. In addition, WashU faculty members also work closely with first-year student communities, providing significant faculty-student interaction outside of the classroom. Each residential college also has its own dedicated custodial and maintenance personnel.
