Foreword

The Nursing Student Undergraduate Student Handbook is designed to complement the University and Elaine Marieb College of Nursing websites as well as the University Code of Student Conduct and Academic Regulations. Students are responsible for acting in accordance with the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Elaine Marieb College of Nursing regulations and policies set forth in these publications. The Elaine Marieb College of Nursing Undergraduate Student Handbook also provides additional information specific to the nursing program, which will be helpful to you throughout your studies here.

The Student Handbook is reviewed annually during the summer term and is as accurate and current as possible. Any changes in policies, procedures, or regulations will be communicated via email to students, who will assume responsibility for complying with them. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the Handbook. It provides an extremely useful continuing orientation to the programs, faculty, and standards of the Elaine Marieb College of Nursing. If you have a problem or concern that is not adequately answered by the Handbook, please consult your academic advisor, faculty advisor, or program assistant.
