Western's Intensive English Program (IEP) is expanding its programming to offer four online options starting this fall to international and domestic students looking to learn English to further their professional career or enter into a major with Western.

The four options are designed to give students flexibility in length and format; program lengths range from four to 10 weeks. Each program has synchronous and asynchronous components.

Governor Inslee is deeply saddened by the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 87, and directs that Washington State and United States flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff in her memory immediately.

The flags will be at half-staff until the day of internment. Once that date has been established, we will send out another notification to advise when the flags will be returned to full-staff.

Please notify your staff and all of your field offices and facilities around the state.

Western is committed to having a safe and healthy campus, and as part of this, all on-site students at Western’s Bellingham campus must be tested continuously. Many students have submitted their results from COVID testing this week in preparation for their arrival on campus, but staff have also heard from a large number of students who haven't been able to access testing because poor air quality from wildfires has closed test sites throughout the state.
