Welcome to the 2021- 2022 Hampshire College Student Handbook
The Student Handbook is your annual contract with the College?
The Student Handbook provides you with your rights and responsibilities as a student as well as links to important information that will help you make decisions about your academic and social success. Students are expected to read the Handbook in its entirety each year.
Did you know there's a policy updates section?
The Student Handbook is reviewed annually and completed in August for each academic year. While typically you will only see policy changes in August, the Policy Updates section is dated to show you the most recent updates divided between Academic Policies and Norms for Community Living and Policies.
You can access previous versions of the Student Handbook?
While students are responsible for following Student Handbook policies as changes become effective, students are responsible for following the academic program policies for their year of entrance into the College. Visit the Handbook Archives page to review academic policies from your year of entry into the College.
There is a notes feature that you can use?
In the left side bar, log in using your usual Hampshire College log in information. Once logged in, a Navigation section will appear below the "Handbook Navigation" in the left side bar that allows you to "Add a Personal Note." Only you can view these notes and they will remain on the pages you save them on for your own personal use.

This document uses “they” and “their” in place of “he or she” and “his or her.” Though we acknowledge that this is not traditional English and sometimes sounds awkward to the ear, it is intentional. We seek not to use gendered pronouns, as doing so may exclude valuable members of our community.
