Your Next Steps

If you’re attending from within the United States, you’ll follow these steps:

  1. Enrollment Deposit - Confirm your place in your class with a deposit. We assign housing based on the date of your deposit, so get this to us as soon as you can. 
  2. Financial Aid - Financial aid information should have arrived with your acceptance letter. Contact our Financial Aid office with any questions.
  3. Housing - You’ll receive housing and roommate forms a few weeks after we receive your enrollment deposit. Once you fill them out, we’ll match you in a dorm with another first-year student.

International Students

International students will follow these steps:

  1. Enrollment Deposit - Confirm your place in your class with a deposit. We assign housing based on the date of your deposit, so get this to us as soon as you can. 
  2. Submit a Certification of Finances as required by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security

For housing, we pair incoming international students with current ones. This allows you to talk to someone who has already gone through it. You’ll receive an email about the matching system shortly after your letter of admission.

The Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) is here for you, providing essential services to support your educational and professional pursuits.

First-Year Gateway Program

Each incoming class goes through the Gateway, our innovative, nationally recognized program designed to give you the foundation you need to become a globally-minded, flexible leader and problem-solver.

In today's interconnected and diverse world, social, cultural and ethical understanding are more important than ever for success. The Gateway’s 13-credit core curriculum takes you on a journey of discovery as you explore bedrock principles of character and leadership, and of organizations and business, that will inspire your success today and long into the future.

A unique component of the First-Year Gateway is the integration of student life experiences with academics. Our goal? To help you connect your classroom learning with what you do and think as a member of Bryant’s dynamic community.

The Gateway culminates in the Bryant IDEA(Innovation Design Experience for All), our immersive January program. IDEA is an intensive, unique forum for experiential learning. You’ll develop entrepreneurial skills that keep you agile in a changing world: creative problem-solving, teamwork and the innovation process. You’ll tackle real-world situations in everything from the arts to social services to the business sector.
