INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Student Handbook is to acquaint you with policies, procedures, services, and resources available to students at Cottey College. The Student Handbook is one of the publications with which you should be familiar. It supplements the Cottey College Catalog, the official document related to academic and financial matters at the College. The Student Handbook is revised and published annually by the Office of Student Life. In some instances, revisions to the Student Handbook may be required during the Fall or Spring semesters due to action by the Cottey College Board of Trustees, the administration of Cottey College, or due to a change in state or federal guidance as it pertains to the policies here within. Should the Student Handbook be re-published during the Fall or Spring semesters due to policy change, a notification email will be dispersed to all students. If non-policy information is adjusted then no notification email will be dispersed. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICY Cottey College is committed to providing equal opportunity to its students and employees in all aspects of campus life. The College does not unlawfully discriminate in educational programs, recruitment and admissions of applicants, school-administrated activities or programs, or employment opportunities, policies, or practices on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, citizenship, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by law. The coordinator for equal opportunity is the director of human resources, Main Hall, Cottey College, Nevada, Missouri, 64772; telephone 417-667-8181, ext. 2103. The coordinator of student disability services, academic advising, and student success programming is located in the Kolderie Center in the Rubie Burton Academic Center, ext. 2131 from any campus phone. In addition, and in accordance with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Cottey College does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs, school-administrated activities or programs, or employment opportunities, policies, or practices. Cottey College has designated Title IX coordinators to handle all inquiries regarding its efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972. As such, the 2 coordinators are the best contact for employees and students who believe they have suffered discrimination or harassment on any protected basis, including sexual harassment and sexual violence.

Steampunk is a genre which came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction. This production is being presented by the Nebraska Theatre Caravan. Welcome New Staff! Cottey is excited to welcome two new staff members to our Athletic Staff! MaKayla Grahn will serve as our new assistant basketball coach and athletic recruitment coordinator for our two new programs.
