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.
