General Policies and Procedures

EMAIL COMMUNICATION

The Emmanuel College email account is the official communication method for all matriculated students, faculty, and staff. Once a student has been registered for their first semester courses, the College will only send emails to and respond to emails from the student’s official Emmanuel College email address.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Students are expected to attend class regularly. Each faculty member will state clearly on the course syllabus the relationship between class attendance and course grade. Faculty members may take attendance. . Non-attendance or nonparticipation in online courses does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal from a course. Students will remain enrolled in a course(s) unless a request for a drop or withdrawal has been made to the Office of the Registrar in writing. Students should see the academic calendar for drop/withdrawal deadlines.

WITHDRAWAL

Students may withdraw officially from the College at any time with the written authorization of their Academic Advisor. Students must notify the Office of the Registrar in writing. Failure to register for courses over one academic year constitutes an automatic administrative withdrawal. Mere absence from classes and examinations is not a withdrawal, nor does it reduce financial obligations. Please see the course withdrawal and refund policy (page 281) for complete information regarding course withdrawals and tuition refunds. A student holding a Federal Stafford Loan must complete exit counseling upon withdrawal.

READMISSION POLICY

Students who have withdrawn must submit a readmission form in order to be considered for readmission into the program. All prior financial obligations to the College must be resolved with the Office of Student Financial Services prior to re-enrollment.

REGISTRATION

Matriculated students will be registered for their first course in the program by their advisor with written permission of the student. After their first completed course, students may register for classes through EC Online Services accessible via portal. emmanuel.edu. Student Planning, through EC Online Services, allows students to search for courses, plan for future terms, and schedule and register for course sections.

CAMPUS SAFETY OFFICE: ID CARDS
