Parents and Families

Welcome Brandeis Parents and Families!

Welcome, Class of 2029 Families!

I am thrilled to welcome your family to Brandeis! I know that your student has many engaging academic and social opportunities ahead as a member of our community, and the time has come to begin planning and preparing.

Incoming students will manage the next steps for beginning at Brandeis through their Student Enrollment Checklist in Workday. Highlights of the dates and deadlines from the Student Enrollment Checklist are available for you to view below. Workday is the university’s system for many of the important administrative tasks and processes that students need to complete throughout their years on campus. The First Year Experience website provides important information about New Student Orientation and supports available to students once on campus. 

Students will receive many emails throughout the summer. Most of the messages will be sent to their Brandeis email account and will include key information and action items with due dates. For example, in May, students will need to complete the Writing Assessment and Housing Application. Students who require academic or housing accommodations should complete the respective request forms as soon as possible. 

This summer your family can meet other Brandeis families in your area by joining us for a Class of 2029 Welcome Reception near you. Learn more and register.

I wish you all the best as your student prepares for Brandeis, and I look forward to meeting you in person at some point soon!
