Student Handbook - College of Pharmacy - Nova Southeastern ...

Nova Southeastern University is the largest independent
not-for-profit university in the Southeast, and the seventh
largest in the United States. As president of NSU, I invite you
to become an ambassador of this extraordinary educational
institution that is in its fourth decade of existence.
When it began, NSU served 17 Ph.D. students from one
building. Today, we have nearly 29,000 students and more
than 5 million square feet of classroom space, libraries, and
recreation areas. Our programs are offered throughout Florida
and the United States, as well as in 23 countries. And with
more than 136,000 alumni, our graduates reside in all 50
states and in more than 63 other countries.
The university continues to experience a sustained period
of academic growth, due in large part to its exploration of alternative strategies in educating
professionals and its commitment to excellence in academics, clinical training, community
service, and well-rounded opportunities for all students. Collaboration at all levels with diverse
partners is the essence of NSU.
As you pursue your studies, we welcome you as a member of our university community. With your
membership to the university community comes many rights and responsibilities. This student
handbook outlines these rights and responsibilities, university policies and procedures, and
university resources.
The entire NSU community is dedicated to providing service and academic excellence to you as
you continue on the road to success as you wish it to be defined. We look forward to a lifelong
partnership with you, our student.
George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D.
President
