Student handbook
Welcome New and Returning Students!
Whether you are new to Earlham or a familiar presence, I am pleased to welcome you into the new semester. As we begin a new year together, the information we provide here will help you get off to a strong start.
Finding essential information
Earlham Colleges publishes two documents that provide essential information to students about the College’s programs and policies:
- The Student Handbook, titled “Commitment to Community: Principles and Practices,” is designed to provide clear, fair and consistent procedures and policies relevant to all student conduct.
- The Academic Catalog details academic policies, requirements and opportunities within the curriculum. Expectations for the major, minor and degree requirements are presented in this format. It also includes a listing of faculty, the academic calendar and descriptions of curricular resources such as our libraries, informational technology and student services.
You will find additional information about college policies, services and community expectations in the links on this page. You will be expected to read this information carefully. Your rights and responsibilities as a member of the community are important to your success academically and personally, and the Division of Student Life exists to support you in your efforts.
