Hello, Bates Class of 2027 families – 

Greetings from campus! We have several updates for you today:

• A number of important items are live in the Garnet Gateway, including student health forms, the housing questionnaire, and the AESOP form. If your student hasn’t already done so, please remind them to check their Admission portal for details on registering in Garnet Gateway. All student forms, updates, and deadlines are shared via the Garnet Gateway.
• Students also already have access to the enroll/waive process for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) in the Garnet Gateway. This is due by May 31. Note that if your incoming student does not complete this process by May 31, a fee will be placed on their student account, and they will be enrolled in the SHIP. For more information please see this update.
• Registration is now open for all our in-person and virtual welcome events. These are great opportunities to begin building your Bates network. Check the schedule here – we look forward to meeting you!

Please reach out to us at parents@bates.edu with any questions!

Best from campus,
The Bates Parent Team
