Student Handbook 2020-2021 Andrew College Student Handbook The Andrew College Student Handbook sets forth the major policies and procedures affecting students. Because the College is a dynamic institution, changes are inevitable. This Handbook will be revised as new policies and procedures are adopted. The latest edition will supersede all former editions unless stated otherwise in the text. In the event of ambiguity or inconsistency, the provisions of the current Student Handbook supersede collegiate and campus policies and procedures. The Student Code of Conduct may be applied to behavior conducted online, via email or other electronic medium. Students should also be aware that online postings such as blogs, web postings, chats and social networking sites are in the public sphere and are not private. These postings can subject a student to allegations of conduct violations if evidence of policy violations is posted online. The College does not regularly search for this information but may take action if and when such information is brought to the attention of College officials. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYMENT STATEMENT Andrew College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, creed, national origin, or disability in its admissions and employment policies or its educational, financial aid, athletic, and other college programs. Andrew College complies with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. ANDREW COLLEGE MISSION Andrew College—the United Methodist beacon of educational, spiritual, and cultural uplift to southwest Georgia since 1854— prepares students for lives of servant leadership and purpose through higher education that is relevant to its region and beyond. PHILOSOPHY In keeping with its Christian heritage, Andrew College provides an environment which prepares students for further study at a senior college and enables them to understand themselves as persons of responsibility and potential within the global community. Andrew is not sectarian and its services are open without regard to race, gender, ethnicity, creed, or economic status.
