prepared by the Office of Student Development to assist students in the orientation process of Emmanuel College (The College, EC). It also contains policies, procedures, and important information about the many services, personnel, and resources available to students. Students should also be familiar with the information provided by organizations and academic departments, and that which is included in the College Course Catalog. The 2019-2020 Course Catalog can be found on the EC website under the Academics heading. Although a good-faith effort is made to ensure that the information provided in the Student Handbook is accurate and current, changes may occur. The College reserves the right to make changes and update regulations, policies, and procedures as necessary. The student is responsible to know and comply with the policies, regulations, and expectations contained in the Student Handbook and agrees to adhere to any necessary changes. NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION As a recipient of federal funds, Emmanuel College is required to comply with Title IX of the Higher Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. (“Title IX”), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs or activities, admission, and employment. Under certain circumstances, sexual misconduct constitutes sexual discrimination prohibited by Title IX. Inquiries concerning the application of Title IX may be referred to the College’s Title IX Coordinator or the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. Emmanuel College’s Title IX Coordinator is Courtney Hamil. Her
