Hello, Incoming Bates Families –

Greetings from Bates! As the Parent Team, we look forward to connecting with you this summer as you become part of the Bates community – and help your student do the same.

Today, we have our first big update for you. The college has announced expectations related to students’ being vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to the 2021-2022 academic year.

The college policy is articulated here, and further detail is available in this FAQ. As noted, any questions should be directed to Bates Health Services at healthservices@bates.edu. 

We look forward to continuing to keep you updated as details come into focus for fall. Welcome to Bates!

Best regards,
The Bates Parent Team
