Student Handbook

2026–27 edition · published August 2026

The Student Handbook is published annually by the Office of the Dean of Students. The edition in effect at the start of the academic year applies for that year. The Handbook is available in DroverNet as a PDF, and printed copies are available at no charge at the Office of the Dean of Students, Room A-130, and at orientation.

Contents

The Handbook collects, in one document: the Student Code of Conduct; the student grievance procedure; attendance and academic standing summaries; shop, barn, laboratory, and range safety rules common to all programs; student organization recognition procedures; the campus map; office hours and extensions; and the notices the College is required to publish to students annually, which are also collected at Consumer Information.

Incorporated policies

The following policies of the College are incorporated in the Handbook by reference and reproduced in full in its appendix. Where the Handbook and the Policy Manual differ, the Manual governs.

Program handbooks, which state essential requirements, equipment lists, and program-specific safety and attendance rules, are separate documents issued by the divisions and are not part of the Student Handbook.

Corrections

Corrections to the Handbook after publication are issued by addendum in DroverNet and are incorporated in the next annual edition. Suggested corrections may be directed to the Office of the Dean of Students.
