Student Participation in Educational Decisions
Students are encouraged to give their input into the educational decisions made
by the college. Students may address their recommendations to the appropriate
departmental office or chair. All division deans and department chairs and most
faculty members have office hours and are available to hear and discuss
students’ viewpoints.
College Committees
The college governance structure includes a number of college standing and ad
hoc committees. Most of these committees are interested in and actively seek
student participation. Through membership in these committees, students can
have a significant impact on many of the decisions affecting their life at the
college. Examples of committees for involvement are the Academic Policies
Committee, the Student Affairs Policies Committee, the Berklee Orientation
Committee, the Special Services Advisory Committee, and the Student Health
Insurance Committee. For current information on opportunities to join college
committees, contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of
Students.
Telephone Calls and Messages
Telephone messages for students, faculty, and staff can be left via Berklee
voicemail at 617 747-8000. Students and faculty can also be accessed via email.
Email addresses are available through the switchboard operator, who can be
reached at 617 266-1400, extension 0. The main operator has all student names,
email addresses, and mailbox numbers. Email addresses are typically the first
initial followed by the last name, with faculty at berklee.edu and students at
berklee.net. (For example, John Doe is jdoe@berklee.net if he is a student and
jdoe@berklee.edu if he is a faculty member.)
The college will not normally release information regarding a student’s address,
telephone number, or class schedule. If the college receives a request for such
information, it must approve and authorize the request before releasing the
campus mailbox number where the student may be contacted.
Additional instructions on accessing Berklee voicemail can be found in the latest
Berklee telephone directory or at berklee.net/it.
