The Bryant community is looking forward to welcoming new and returning students to campus for the University’s 2021-2022 academic year.

For reference and planning, key dates to keep in mind include: August 27-September 1, the 4MILE (Multicultural and International Leadership Experience) program; Wednesday, September 1, move-in for first-year students; Saturday through Sunday, September 4 and 5, move-in for returning students; and Tuesday, September 7, when undergraduate day and evening classes begin. Save the date for Family and Friends Weekend, October 15-17, with further details to be announced later this summer. The full academic calendar for 2021-2022 is online. 

Students and families are reminded of the University’s COVID-19 Vaccination and Masking Policy, as previously announced. Students are required to email confirmation of their COVID-19 vaccination to Health Services at bhs@bryant.edu no later than Tuesday, August 10. Exemption from the vaccine requirement can be requested by completing and submitting the Student Vaccine Exemption Request Form to studentaffairs@bryant.edu by Tuesday, August 10. 

COVID-19 Vaccine Holds will become active on Sunday, August 1, for students who have not satisfied the vaccine requirement or obtained an exemption. While under a Vaccine Hold, residential students will be unable to receive their residential room keys, first-year commuter students will be unable to receive their Bryant laptop computer, and other commuter students will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
