Reaching your best self at Hendrix requires personal
commitment and active engagement. I, as a Hendrix student, understand that I am
responsible for knowing the information contained in the College course catalog
and the Student Handbook. I also understand that I am responsible for the
following commitments:
A. Hendrix students are expected to attend class
in accordance with the catalog and individual course syllabi. Students
who regularly attend class have a better learning experience with stronger
connections to their professors and their peers. Active engagement in class is
essential to academic success; chronic absences typically result in reduced
academic achievement, including failing grades.
B. Hendrix students
are expected to use, and respond to, official communication from the College
(email, phone calls, and texts). Difficulty in accessing or utilizing Hendrix
email or the website should be reported to the Media Center (SLTC first floor)
or helpdesk@hendrix.edu. Students will be held responsible for information
communicated via official mediums.
C. Hendrix students
are expected to tend to their own mental and physical health. Campus health
resources are available for short-term conditions. Persistent or chronic health
problems may require care beyond the campus resources. Students should discuss
academic options with their advisor, professors, or the Office of Academic
Success if persistent health concerns impact their ability to complete
educational tasks.
D. Hendrix students should respect the educational
environment of the community. The richness and diversity of the campus
community is a defining factor at Hendrix, and students, staff and professors
are protectors of as well as contributors to that community. Behaviors that interfere with the
educational pursuits of others may result in administrative action.
