Every effort was made to ensure accuracy at the time of publication; the various staff and faculty members listed herein will do their best to answer questions. Students have the responsibility to become familiar with these policies and processes as they pursue their educational goals. The students, administration, faculty and staff have the mutual responsibility of bringing the words to life by making the learning experiences as pleasant and productive as possible. The university reserves the right to change any part of it and to make any changes retroactive for students currently enrolled. © 2010 Southern New Hampshire University 3
