Student Handbook

Everything you need to know

The Student Handbook and Academic Catalog are published together as a single, comprehensive resource for new and returning students. Every student is expected to understand the College’s policies, procedures, academic and graduation requirements, and community standards outlined in this document.

The Handbook section details student expectations and campus life, supporting our mission to create pathways to education for those who may not otherwise have access. It reflects our commitment to equity, inclusion, and building Pennsylvania’s future workforce, and includes information on college values, safety, financial aid, student services, extracurricular activities, and residence life.

The Academic Catalog section serves as the official source for academic programs, course descriptions, and degree requirements. Updated annually, it provides essential information to help students plan their academic pathway and understand institutional policies and expectations.
