First Year Center is now Student Transitions & Family Programs

Test optional policy extended through fall 2024
WashU has extended our test optional policy for applicants for classes that will enter in Fall 2023 and Fall 2024.
New Demonstrated Interest Policy Effective Immediately
As part of our commitment to ensure all applicants, regardless of financial circumstance, ability to travel or familiarity with the college admissions process, receive equal consideration in our review and selection of applicants, WashU will no longer consider demonstrated interest (such as visiting campus, attending an event, or emailing with a member of the admissions staff) as a factor in making admission decisions or in the admission decision process.
Statement of Solidarity
Admissions and Student Financial Services stand in solidarity with the victims of murder, marginalization, anti-Blackness, and oppression – and with those who seek justice through protests across our country.
