NAROPA UNIVERSITY STUDENT HANDBOOK 2017-2018 STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT The student handbook has been developed to help you, the Naropa student, understand and interpret the policies and procedures of Naropa University while understanding autonomy for individual expression and being a community member. The term “student” includes all persons who have confirmed attendance (by submitting an admission deposit or enrolling in courses), have enrolled at and/or are taking courses at the university, full or part-time, undergraduate, graduate, or non-degree seeking. If you do not find answers to your questions within the handbook, contact the appropriate office(s) or consult with the dean of students. You are personally responsible for reading, understanding, and adhering to all policies and information printed in Naropa University’s course catalog and this handbook, as well as all official notices sent via Naropa student email, which may include revisions to this handbook. Failure to read and understand the policies detailed in these documents does not excuse you from being subject to those regulations and their enforcement. It should be noted that while consulting faculty advisors or staff can be helpful to clarify issues, written policy controls over any oral advice or opinion received from an individual. The policies and procedures in this handbook may be amended from time to time at the discretion of Naropa University with or without notice to students. 2 The information presented in this handbook is correct as of 8, 1, 2017.
