Bike Registration

If you have a bike on campus, we strongly recommend that you register your bike with WashU, display the registration shield on your bike, and ensure you use a Kyrptonite U-lock which is available for purchase at WUPD for $25. Register your bike through the WashU Bike Registration page.

To help you plan and stay ahead this semester, check out these tips and resources from The Learning Center.

1. Creating a Routine: Find an organization system that works for you. Figure out when and how you are most productive.
2. Making a Study Plan: Schedule one hour of studying for every hour of class per week – yes, you read that right! Include alternating subjects and breaks into your study plan, and be specific about what you plan on studying.
3. Maintaining Motivation: Set rewards for daily goals, weekly goals, and end of the semester goals. Make sure your schedule is balanced with study, work, and self-care.

The Learning Center offers one-on-one coaching in the areas of time management, learning strategies, managing procrastination, and more. Access information about the Learning Center's coaches and make an appointment with them online.

You can find videos, info sheets, templates, and other resources related to these key skills in the Learning Center's Academic Skills Resource Library. Additionally, drop-in support for specific courses is available through Residential Peer Mentoring and Academic Mentoring. Check out the calendar for a full list of supported courses and session details.
