How to Fulfill the Requirement

For students entering Brandeis beginning fall 2019, the health, wellness and life skills requirement will be satisfied by completing three noncredit, six-week module courses. All first-year students need to enroll in the core navigating health and safety module in their first semester at Brandeis, and students will then choose one module from mind and body balance and one other module from any of the three groups. Courses that satisfy the requirement in a particular semester are designated "hwl1" (navigating health and safety), "hwl2" (mind and body balance), or "hwl3" (life skills) in the Schedule of Classes for that semester. A list of health, wellness, and life skills courses is available in the Courses of Instruction.

Completion of one full season of participation on a varsity athletics team, as certified by the Department of Athletics, is equal to one mind and body balance module. Exemption of the mind and body balance module requirement is given to anyone who has served in the military. Students may also take a course outside of Brandeis to get CPR and AED certified. Any exemption for certification has to be the equivalent of the class offered by Brandeis, and must include CPR and AED training for adults and children. CPR certification is equivalent to the credit earned for the successful completion of one life skills (hwl3) module. Please submit requests for HWL exemptions through Workday using the Workday job aid found here. You will be notified via email once your request has been approved.
