Admitted Students COVID-19 Notification Alert
We are extending our deposit deadline, indicating a student’s intent to enroll at BSU, by one month to June 1. For students who intend to enroll but face a financial hardship, this deposit requirement can be waived. Email gmeyer@bridgew.edu with this request. We still encourage students to submit their deposit as soon as they have decided to attend BSU so that we may start the enrollment process.
Congratulations on your acceptance! You are going to love being a Bear!
If you haven't had a chance to visit campus, we encourage you to schedule your visit now!
