Student Handbook
The Student Handbook website is designed to provide easy access to information that is relevant to all students of Moravian University and Moravian Theological Seminary (also referred to as “Moravian University” or “the University”). Although the intended audience of the Handbook is all currently enrolled students, some sections may not be applicable to all populations. When appropriate, this is noted.
Content within the Handbook is subject to change as the University deems necessary to fulfill its mission or respond to evolving circumstances. Such changes may be implemented without prior notice and without obligation and, unless specified otherwise, are effective when made. The University will make reasonable efforts to inform the campus community of significant changes in a timely manner.
All students should review the Handbook in its entirety and are expected to be familiar with its content. This can be accomplished by navigating the menus on the left side of the screen and following links to important policies and information. The gray box at the bottom of the screen will always include important links, regardless of where you are in the Handbook website.
Below are some highlights intended for ease of use, but should not be reviewed solely as a substitute to reviewing the entire Handbook.
Handbook Highlights
- All students are accountable to the Academic Code of Conduct and the Student Code of Conduct. All recognized student organizations (RSOs) are additionally accountable to the Student Organization Code of Conduct.
- Residence Life and Housing Policies apply to residents and their visitors. This means that commuter students should be familiar with these policies to prepare themselves when visiting friends at a University residence.
- A range of academic services and resources are available to support your learning. These include academic advising, tutoring, writing support, disability accommodations, faculty referrals, and access to library resources.
- Parking policies apply to all students.
- Logging into or otherwise connecting to the campus network implies acceptance of the institution’s policies on acceptable use of computing resources.
- Email is the official mode of communication for the University and students are expected to check their University email account daily. It is recommended that students check their spam folder regularly to ensure they do not miss an important message that may have been mistakenly filtered there.
- Monitor your student account on AMOS to ensure you meet your financial obligations. Aid recipients are also expected to know and comply with the rules governing financial aid.
- All students, including commuters, can participate in campus events and activities. Be sure to explore all opportunities to get involved with the campus community!
- Additional information relevant to graduate students can be found in the Graduate Student Handbook.
- Additional information relevant to Moravian Theological Seminary students can be found in the Seminary Handbook.
