New Student Modules

What does it mean to be part of the Vanderbilt community? What do you contribute? What can you expect of others and them of you? Our Anchored in Our Values Learning Series helps new Commodores make informed choices regarding their own health and safety, as well as the health and safety of other students and the larger Vanderbilt community. The online, asynchronous modules provide crucial information about our community’s expectations and, thus, are required of all entering students.

Anchored in Our Values - Learning Series

The mandatory Anchored in Our Values Learning Series launched on January 2, 2026. New students assigned to the learning series will receive weekly emails to their @vanderbilt.edu email address with access instructions. The deadline for completion is Friday, January 16, 2026.
