Catalog Policy
This Catalog describes the academic policies and
programs of Roanoke College in effect at the time of
publication. It is not, however, to be understood as an
irrevocable contract between the student and the
College. The educational process requires continual
review, and the College reserves the right to make
appropriate changes in its courses, programs, grading
system, standards of progress and retention, honors,
awards, and fees. In general, students are to be governed
by the Catalog that is current at the time they begin
their studies at Roanoke College. However, a student
has the option of declaring to be under the jurisdiction
of a subsequent catalog except in cases where core
requirements have been changed and the College has
stipulated those eligible to declare the new curriculum.
Should the faculty determine that a modification in
course work for the major or teacher licensure program
in education is necessary in order for students to
complete a current course of study, the department
reserves the right to modify degree or licensure
requirements for students who have not yet formally
declared a major or applied for teacher licensure.
Students transferring from a Virginia community college
may elect to declare any Catalog in effect within the
twenty-four month period immediately preceding the
term they first enrolled except in cases where core
requirements have been changed and the College has
stipulated who is eligible to declare the modified
curriculum.
Affiliation: The College maintains its partnership in
church-related education with the Evangelical Lutheran
Church In America through the Virginia Synod, the
Metropolitan Washington, DC Synod, and the West
Virginia-Western Maryland Synod.
Statement of nondiscrimination: Roanoke College does not
discriminate against students, employees, or applicants on
the basis of race, color, gender, creed, religion, age,
sexual orientation, marital status, national or ethnic
origin, disability, or veteran status.
