Dear Stonehill Students,

In welcoming you to Stonehill College, I hope that your time with us will be one of active participation in the academic and social opportunities present in our community.

Our mission statement highlights the important role each of you plays in weaving together the fabric of our experiences here at Stonehill:

Stonehill College is a community of scholarship and faith, anchored by a belief in the inherent dignity of each person.

Stonehill College educates the whole person so that each Stonehill graduate thinks, acts, and leads with courage toward creating a more just and compassionate world.

The academic and interpersonal choices that you make during your time here will help you achieve the aims of our shared educational purpose.

To help you plot your course through Stonehill, we present “The Hill Book” as a guide to living and learning at Stonehill. It combines the academic catalogue – which helps you select your course of study – with the student handbook – which provides guidelines, regulations and policies for each member of our community.

I trust that your experience at Stonehill will be a time of growth and discovery. Your professors and others will invite you to enter the academic enterprise. In addition, persons and ideas will challenge – for the better – the way you think and what you believe. Learning will occur not only in the classroom but also in the residence halls, on athletic fields and in service. I encourage you to take advantage of all the opportunities presented to you during your time at Stonehill. As an alumnus of the College, I know that they will remain with you for a lifetime.

As a member of the Stonehill Community, you have chosen to accept and abide by the high expectations the College has set for how each member lives, learns, and interacts with one another. We expect and encourage you to take ownership of your own academic, intellectual and spiritual development. And we will challenge students to be accountable for their actions as a necessary part of community life and preparation for responsible citizenship in the wider world.

Remember, all the members of our community are eager to assist you in every possible way. Do not hesitate to ask for advice or direction. Again, welcome back to Stonehill and know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers as we journey together during this academic year.

Sincerely in Holy Cross,

(Rev.) Mark T. Cregan, C.S.C. President

Academic Life

The Stonehill curriculum challenges men and women of diverse backgrounds to enter into intellectual, social and moral discovery and to create meaningful lives, rewarding careers, and participatory citizenship. The Cornerstone Program of General Education and Major Programs of Study combine to cultivate a student-centered environment that is nurtured by small classes and enriching student-faculty relationships.

The College prides itself on promoting liberal education and on offering a variety of high quality academic programs in the Arts and Sciences and in Business Administration. Major and Minor Programs of Study emphasize depth of knowledge and practice in a particular discipline. While students must complete requirements within the major or minor, they also have the flexibility to explore academic opportunities unique to their own educational plans. Such opportunities include the honors program, internships, international experiences, community-based learning opportunities, directed study, and independent research.

Thus, the outcomes of the Academic Program include enhanced content knowledge in “core” disciplines; demonstrated competency in skills crucial to success in all major programs; the ability to integrate knowledge across disciplines; dexterity in teamwork and collaboration; the ability to reason well and to apply reasoning skills to ethical questions; an appreciation for diversity of persons and cultures; and expertise in at least one academic discipline. This foundation will serve graduates well in any career or post-baccalaureate study they pursue.

Completing the Stonehill academic program is an exciting way to develop skills and knowledge, to experience human and natural diversity, to build critical and creative thinking and leadership abilities, and to discover the value of civic engagement.

Appeals: The denial of financial aid because of failure to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements may be appealed if the student believes there are special circumstances which should be considered.

A response will be mailed to the student within 15 days of receipt of such appeal. Stonehill College Scholarships

Each year the College offers a number of partial-tuition scholarships and grants to incoming and returning students. While some scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit, it is recommended that a financial aid application be on file with the College. Scholarships require a maintenance of a minimum cumulative average for renewal, but merit scholarship recipients need not file for aid in subsequent years unless they wish to be considered for other aid as well, including need-based grants, student loans, and work-study. (See previous page for a description of the financial aid application process for incoming and returning students.)
