Welcome to Emory University! 

You have joined a vibrant, engaging learning community that 

experientially prepares students for ethical leadership and active 

citizenship at Emory and beyond. 

Emory’s educational resources will help you grow intellectually. 

Your skills for academic discovery, problem solving, and 

communication will develop in courses and in hundreds of other learning experiences 

outside the classroom. 

At Emory you will have many opportunities for personal growth, both in 

nonacademic workshops and in discussions with faculty and staff members 

about how to manage your own obligations and needs. If personal problems 

occur, counselors are available to help. 

Your goals may include building leadership skills and becoming more selfconfident, 

assertive, resourceful, creative, and understanding about opinions and 

values of others. You will be supported in reaching these goals by a vast campus 

network that includes hundreds of student-run organizations and activities, 

public-service opportunities, fraternities and sororities, as well as athletics, recreational, 

and religious life programs. 

Because Emory’s admirable student body is socially, ethnically and racially 

more diverse than the student populations of many other universities, you can 

participate in a broad range of multicultural experiences that will help you learn 

to live and work with people whose backgrounds are different from yours. 

You can fulfill your intellectual, personal and interpersonal goals on a campus 

that is internationally acclaimed for its excellent faculty and state-of-the-art

Enrollment 2006–2007: 820 medical and allied health students (338 men; 

482 women) 

Three medical institutions that merged between 1898 and 1913 formed the 

nucleus for the School of Medicine by affiliating with the University in 1915. 

They were the Atlanta Medical College (founded in 1854), the Southern Medical 

College (founded in 1878), and the Atlanta School of Medicine (founded in 

1905). Today the Emory University School of Medicine, the Nell Hodgson 

Woodruff School of Nursing, the Rollins School of Public Health, Yerkes 

National Primate Research Center, and Emory Healthcare form the Robert W. 

Woodruff Health Sciences Center, named for the legendary leader of the Coca- 

Cola Company, whose vision and generosity left a lasting imprint on Emory and 

Atlanta. 

Emory Healthcare, the center’s system of clinical facilities, includes the 

Emory Clinic, Emory Children’s Center, Emory University Hospital, Crawford 

Long Hospital, and the Wesley Woods Hospital and Center. Emory School 

of Medicine faculty also provide care at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical 

Center, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Grady Memorial Hospital. 

This roster just begins to describe the facilities for patient care, teaching, 

and research available to students studying medicine at Emory. Degree programs 

offered through the School of Medicine are doctor of medicine (MD), 

medical scientist (MD/PhD), and the joint MD/MPH with the School of Public 

Health. (The School of Public Health also offers a master of science in clinical 

research [MSCR] for those with an MD or MD/PhD.) In addition, the School 

of Medicine has educational training programs in five allied health professions: 

anesthesiology/patient monitoring systems, physical therapy, physician assistant 

training, ophthalmic technology, and radiologic technology. Training ranges 

from certification programs to programs that offer master’s degrees. 

For further information on the courses and degrees offered by the School of 

Medicine, as well as information on allied health programs, consult the website 

at www.med.emory.edu.

The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing evolved from the Wesley 

Memorial Hospital training school for nurses in downtown Atlanta. It moved 


9


to the University campus in 1922 and became a baccalaureate degree program 

in 1944. A master’s degree program was added in 1954, and the doctoral program, 

offered through the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, was established 

in 1999. The school moved into its new building at 1520 Clifton Road in 

December 2000. As a part of the Woodruff Health Sciences Center, the School 

of Nursing is able to offer a variety of excellent clinical practice experiences, 

including selected international experiences. The school’s state-of-the-art classrooms 

and nursing skills labs are among the best in the country. Students have 

opportunities to work with outstanding nurse researchers, develop leadership 

skills, and become skilled professionals under the guidance of faculty who share 

a commitment to teaching and learning. Students are eligible for admission to 

the baccalaureate program after completion of sixty semester hours of general 

education and basic health science prerequisites. 

For further information, contact the School of Nursing Office of Admissions

CAMPUS LIFE 

Learning that occurs outside the classroom enhances student life. 

Cocurricular involvement often helps students to develop close relationships 

with diverse individuals, enhance their leadership skills, and assume 

personal responsibility. It can also enrich their spiritual life, build character and 

discipline, and lead to a better understanding and genuine acceptance of the 

many races, cultures, religions, and nationalities that constitute this academic 

community. Moreover, this involvement breeds intellectual engagement that 

thrives in and out of the classroom. 

The administration and staff in the Division of Campus Life strive to promote 

the life of community at Emory as expressed in the talents, values, and 

achievements of individual students. Campus Life staff seek to find ways students 

can weave their own experiences with one or more of the many outlets for 

expression and service that exist in the form of student organizations and group 

activities. It is the goal of the Division of Campus Life to 

make the Emory experience one that provides a complete 

education and learning experience, rich and rewarding in 

quality and content both in and out of the classroom. 

The various offices and services in Campus Life are 

described in the following section. Become acquainted 

with these people and the roles they serve, and take full 

advantage of the many opportunities their efforts represent. 

Campus Life staff members are as available and 

valuable as you permit them to be; they want to help 

make your time at Emory a meaningful and fruitful one.

life for people in more than sixty-five countries. The center seeks to prevent 

and resolve conflicts, enhance democracy, and improve health. Center programs

the United States and the developing world. Under the leadership of former 

President Jimmy Carter, a University Distinguished Professor, and Rosalynn 

Carter, the center brings to campus a wide range of international scholars and 

world leaders. 

In this way, the center has strengthened democracies in Asia, Latin America, 

and Africa, including observing fifty-four elections in twenty-four countries; 

helped farmers double or triple grain production in fifteen African countries; 

mediated or worked to prevent civil and international conflicts; intervened to 

prevent unnecessary diseases in Latin America and Africa, including the neareradication 

of Guinea worm disease; and strived to diminish the stigma against 

mental illness. A not-for-profit, nongovernmental organization, the center is supported 

by donations from individuals, foundations, corporations, and countries. 

Students regularly participate as volunteers and interns to plan and implement 

center programs, conduct research, and attend conferences. Although the 

center itself does not offer a degree program, fellows and associates sometimes 

teach in the colleges and other schools of the University. The Carter Center also 

reaches out to include Emory faculty in its activities. 

The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum, located next to the Carter Center,

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AND SCHOLAR 

PROGRAMS (ISSP) 

International Student and Scholar Programs (ISSP) is responsible for the development, 

coordination, and administration of services and programs designed 

to assist international students and scholars. The staff is professionally trained 

to offer counseling, advising, and programming for international students and 

scholars about immigration and visas, cultural adjustment issues, academic 

concerns, financial matters, and personal issues. The ISSP also assists with emergency 

situations involving international students and scholars. 

ISSP offers several programs for students and scholars to enhance their personal 

growth and development, to help them learn more about the cultures of 

the United States, to facilitate interaction with U.S. students, and to encourage 

them to share their cultures with the Emory and Atlanta communities. Ongoing 

programs include Orientation, the weekly International Coffee Hour, SPICE (an 

international theme hall), Atlanta City Tour, Amigo Program (provides a friend 

in the Atlanta community), International Student Forum with President Jimmy 

Carter, income tax help sessions, fall and spring break trips, and Passport to the 

World. Other programs are offered in a timely manner to meet an immediate 

need or to increase cross-cultural awareness and understanding. 

A primary function of ISSP is to assist international students and scholars 

in obtaining and maintaining their immigration status. Working with admissions 

and academic departments, the staff issues immigration documents and 

files petitions required by the U.S. government for faculty, staff, and students to 

obtain or maintain their immigration status. We also file documents necessary to 

obtain permanent residency for nonimmigrant employees whom the University 

wishes to hire on a permanent basis. 

Additionally, the staff prepares documents for travel, dependent travel, 

change of degree program, transfer of schools, extension of stay, employment 

options, and (in some cases) for entry to the University. Workshops and indi- 


47


vidual advising are offered to assist University staff and faculty in understanding 

the complexities and responsibilities involved in hiring foreign faculty and staff. 

The ISSP office is the best source of information, advice, and assistance on issues 

related to a student or scholar’s immigration status. ISSP serves as Emory’s official 

link with the U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security. Staff members 

update faculty, staff, and students on changes in immigration law and file 

reports as required by law. 

Believing in the transformative value of an overseas educational experience, 

ISSP seeks to provide programs and services to facilitate the growth of globalminded 

citizens in an increasingly interdependent world. 

Learn more about ISSP at www.emory.edu/issp or contact us by telephone: 

404.727.3300; fax: 404.727.0830; or email: issp@emory.edu.

International Faculty and Student Opportunities 

ICIS international scholarships enable selected Emory undergraduates to complete 

short-term research or service projects overseas. ICIS also sponsors faculty 

exchange programs between Emory and institutions around the world in locations 

such as Cape Town, Paris, St. Andrews, Israel, and Rome. In collaboration 

with Emory’s Graduate School, ICIS presents forums and workshops that further 

the international perspectives and skills of graduate students pursuing comparative 

and international scholarship with an interdisciplinary emphasis. 

Center for International Programs Abroad (Study Abroad) 

Emory College is committed to making a period of study abroad an integral 

part of an Emory undergraduate education. As academic institutions, governments, 

and businesses become increasingly international, and as our own country 

becomes more culturally diverse, an effective education must prepare future 

leaders and professionals to operate in a global environment. Through CIPA, 

ICIS offers excellent opportunities for Emory undergraduates to realize the academic, 

career, and personal benefits of experiencing another country, language, 

and culture in depth. 

CIPA sponsors two types of study abroad programs: Emory semester- or 

year-long programs and Emory summer study abroad. Semester and year programs 

provide high-quality instruction, research opportunities, and internships 

in countries around the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin 

America, and the Middle East. They emphasize integration into the host cultures 

and enable students to gain valuable experience living and studying in an international 

environment. Summer study abroad programs continue a long tradition 

of offering courses taught by Emory faculty in locations overseas. They provide 

an excellent introduction to another country and take full advantage of overseas 

settings to enrich the academic experience. All study abroad programs are 

integrated with the curriculum on campus to enable students to continue regular 

progress toward their degree. Students who wish to study in academic disciplines 

that are not available through Emory programs may petition to transfer credit 

from non-Emory programs offered by other institutions. 

Students select programs in consultation with faculty and study abroad 


49


advisers. General prerequisites for studying abroad include a 3.0 cumulative 

GPA for semester, year-long, and non-Emory programs and a 2.0 cumulative 

GPA for Emory summer programs. Individual program prerequisites vary. 

Extensive information on these prerequisites and the application process is available 

on the CIPA website at www.cipa.emory.edu. Contact CIPA by phone at 

404.727.2240 or by email at cipa@emory.edu.

and an interest in participating in an international, cross-disciplinary experience. 

CIL residents live in a distinct block of apartments at Clairmont Campus, 

directed by an Emory faculty-member-in-residence. Non-resident membership 

is open to the Emory and local communities, providing access to special events 

planned exclusively for CIL members. More information about CIL is available 

at www.icis.emory.edu/CIL/. 

Emory College Language Center 

The Emory College Language Center (ECLC) was established in 2000 as part of 

ICIS in fulfillment of Emory’s commitment to international education. ECLC’s 

mission is to promote the teaching and learning of languages as an essential 

component of the intellectual experience of students and faculty at Emory 

College. ECLC activities support the eighteen languages taught at Emory. 

ECLC facilities include a state-of-the-art language lab and three electronic 

classrooms located in Woodruff Library, along with a wide variety of online 

audio and video resources for language learning throughout the Emory campus.

AREA STUDIES PROGRAMS 

ICIS helps administer, fund, and coordinate area studies at Emory College and 

creates connections across world areas and between area studies programs and 

other academic units, including the Office of Undergraduate Education and 

the Graduate School. ICIS works closely with faculty to sponsor lectures, symposia, 

seminars, and conferences in relation to area studies and in relation to 

projects and initiatives across world areas. 



Institute of African Studies at ICIS 

The Institute of African Studies (IAS) offers an active community of students 

and scholars and a lively focus on intellectual and cultural activities to persons 

interested in Africa. The institute promotes interdisciplinary teaching 

and research on Africa and administers an undergraduate major and minor in 

African Studies focusing on the histories, societies, and cultures of the peoples 

of Africa. The African Studies major and minor emphasize mastering knowledge 

about Africa as well as theories and methods central to the study of the 

continent. Students are encouraged to strengthen their work in African Studies 

by participating in study or research abroad through one of Emory’s approved 

programs in Africa. These programs include the St. Lawrence Program in 

Kenya, the Summer Interdisciplinary Internship in South Africa, CIEE Senegal 

semester/year program in Dakar, African Studies at the School of Oriental and 

African Studies in London, and African Studies at the University of Cape Town, 

South Africa. In the next few years, IAS will broaden the scope of African study 

abroad programs by including West African programs in Niger and Ghana.

Program in Asian Studies at ICIS 

The Asian Studies Program coordinates with other departments and programs 

at Emory to facilitate the interdisciplinary study of the geographical, historical, 

social, political, and cultural dimensions of Asia and its influences on Western 

cultures and societies. East Asian Studies is an interdepartmental initiative that 

acts as a focus for events and programming related to the study of China and 

Japan. The Asian Studies Program seeks to enhance the presence and appreciation 

of Asian and Asian American cultural communities in the United States and 

works cooperatively with academic programs, student organizations, and community 

associations. Although many universities offer programs in Asian Studies 

and/or Asian American Studies, the Asian Studies Program at Emory combines 

two perspectives to give the student a broader understanding of the issues 

involving Asia, its interaction with the West, and the multidimensional characteristics 

of Asian America. Asian Studies offers: 

• An undergraduate major and minor in Asian Studies. The program 

allows concentration in either South or East Asia 

• Study-abroad programs in India, Japan, China, and Korea 

• Regular participation of faculty and students in student organizations 

with interests in Asia 

• A doctoral program in South Asian religions, which has allowed the 

program to join the ranks of the few major university centers in the 


51


country for the study of South Asian religions 

• The Michael C. Carlos Museum permanent exhibit The Arts of India 

and the Himalayas, which includes pieces from third-century Gandharan 

to twelfth-century Gujarat 

• Music and dance concerts and lectures, photography and art exhibits, 

poetry readings, and other events that support the curriculum of the 

South and East Asian Studies programs. 

Learn more about Asian Studies at www.asianstudies.emory.edu or visit the program 

office, located in the Institute for International and Comparative Studies, at 

1385 Oxford Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30322; telephone: 404.727.6280.

history, and music. Together with the Asian Studies Program, the East Asian 

Studies Program supports an undergraduate degree in Asian Studies. Students 

may also major and minor in Chinese or Japanese through REALC. A new and 

rapidly growing program, East Asian Studies offers: 

• Funding and faculty support for student organizations, research, and 

other projects related to East Asia 

• Funding for lectures, performances, film screenings, art exhibitions, 

poetry readings, and other events related to East Asia at Emory

Emory-Tibet Partnership at ICIS 

In recent years the study of Tibetan civilization has gained strength at Emory. 

During a visit to Emory in 1998, His Holiness the Dalai Lama signed an agreement 

with then Emory President William M. Chace to work toward furthering 

educational links between the University and institutions of higher learning 

operated by the Tibetan government in exile in India. The developing program 

includes a study-abroad program in Dharamsala, a student exchange, ongoing 

courses and research in Tibetan culture and philosophy, and an exchange 

between students and faculty. October is Tibet Awareness Month, featuring 

events that highlight various aspects of Tibetan culture. Students interested in 

the study of Tibet and activities related to Tibet should contact the Asian Studies 

Program at 404.727.6280. Learn more about Asian Studies at www.icis.emory.

The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program at ICIS 

The Program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies offers a flexible undergraduate 

concentration that promotes a multidisciplinary understanding of the 

culture, history, and contemporary issues in Latin America and the Caribbean. 

A student who majors in the program receives a degree in Latin American and 

Caribbean Studies with a concentration in a given discipline. Since LAS courses 

are offered in various departments, the program is adaptable to individual interests. 

In addition, since the major is complemented by a concentration, many 

students double major in Latin American and Caribbean Studies and their disciplinary 

concentrations. 

A great way to learn about a region is to visit or live there. Students are 

encouraged to pursue part of their studies in Latin America or the Caribbean 

by spending a semester in an academic program approved by the Center for 

International Programs Abroad (CIPA). A maximum of sixteen credits of foreign 

study can be credited toward a LACS major, with the approval of the program’s 

Director or the Director of Undergraduate Studies. 

LACS undergraduates find that they are a vital part of a program with 

many opportunities. They interact frequently with Emory faculty and graduate 

students who are experts on the region, and they often get to meet with visiting 

scholars, artists, and politicians. The program regularly sponsors lectures, seminars, 

and films, and it also encourages student internships in the United States 

and abroad. To learn more about Latin American and Caribbean Studies go to 

www.lacsp.emory.edu or call 404.727.6562 

Program in Russian and East European Studies (REES) at ICIS 

The program in Russian and East European Studies seeks to stimulate and 

enhance education about the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Working 

with various departments of the College to augment the curriculum in the 

humanities and social sciences, REES offers a multidisciplinary student seminar 

and other interdisciplinary courses on Russia and other former Soviet societies. 

For students who desire further knowledge about these societies beyond the 

introductory level, the program—in conjunction with the Department of Russian 

and East Asian Languages and Cultures—offers a Russian Studies major with an 

option for concentration in Russian area studies and a Russian Studies minor. 

REES further supplements curricular offerings by providing a series of free public 

lectures, informal brown-bag talks, feature films, artistic performances, and 

exhibits. Several study abroad programs are run in conjunction with REES and 

REALC: Prague, Warsaw, St. Petersburg, and Moscow. Learn more about REES 

at www.rees.emory.edu.

region. A major in Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies combines the study 

of one or more of the languages of the region with the cultural, literary, historical, 

archaeological, and religious aspects of the area. This major prepares students 

for graduate study as well as for careers in government service and international 

affairs. Majors in Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies may elect 

to concentrate in specific subareas of the Middle East, such as Judaic Studies, 

Islamic Studies, South Asian Studies, or archaeology. The Department of Middle 

Eastern and South Asian Studies also offers minors in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, 

Persian, and Mediterranean archaeology. Learn more about the Department 

of Middle Eastern and South Asian Studies at www.mesas.emory.edu or visit

telephone: 404.727.2697; fax: 404.727.2133. 

Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures (REALC) 

The Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures (REALC) is 

an interdisciplinary department dedicated to the study of languages and cultures 

in the geographic continuum from Eastern Europe through Eastern Asia. Our 

three concentrations are on the Russian Federation, the largest country spatially 

on the globe; China, the most populous country; and Japan, the world’s secondlargest 

economy. The region covered by REALC plays an increasingly critical 

role in global dynamics, and the department’s goal is to prepare students for the 

complex realities of the twenty-first century. 

Departmental offerings bridge East and West, and include the study of the 

languages, linguistics, and literatures of the region; and the inter-relationship of 

literature to other arts, philosophy, religion, and the social sciences. We offer 

introductory through advanced classes in Russian, Chinese, and Japanese language 

as well as an array of courses taught in English to address the interests of 

a broader student audience. Learn more about REALC at www.realc.emory.edu.

LULLWATER PARK, located off Clifton Road, is the site of the residence of the 

president of the University and his family and serves as a park for the use of 

Emory students, faculty, and staff. The president encourages persons having an 

affiliation with Emory to use and enjoy the grounds at Lullwater that are not 

immediately adjacent to his private home. Lullwater’s wooded trails and scenic 

lake make it a favorite place for members of the Emory community. To preserve 

the estate as a natural area, a number of policies govern its use: 

1. Visitors to Lullwater are restricted to Emory University faculty, staff, 

and students. Emory University Public Safety officers may ask non- 

Emory persons to leave the premises. 

2. The estate is closed to all motorized vehicular traffic. 

3. Certain areas are restricted for academic purposes. They are enclosed 

by fences and are to be entered by authorized persons only. 

4. All persons visiting the grounds must respect the privacy of the president’s 

home, including the grounds around the home and the drive 

that leads to his residence. 

5. No boats of any type are permitted on the lake. 

6. Swimming or wading is not permitted in the lake or the streams. 

7. The estate is closed during hours of darkness. 

8. Fires or cooking is not permitted on the grounds. 

9. Children are permitted on the premises only when accompanied by 

adults.

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Window 

service is not available on Saturdays during the summer. 

Incoming students who will reside on campus automatically are assigned 

a post office box. Incoming mail is placed in boxes throughout the day, with 

delivery typically completed by 2 p.m. If a mail piece is too large to fit in a box 

or requires a signature, the piece is logged and a notification email is sent to the 

student’s LearnLink address. Picture identification is required to retrieve a mail 

piece. 

A valuable component of Mail Services is the processing of interoffice mail. 

Correspondence can be sent to campus or departmental boxes free of charge, 

provided that the pieces meet the requirements for handling. Please contact Mail 

Services about the specific requirements for your mailing. Interoffice mail can 

be deposited on campus within departmental offices, on the ground floor of the 

Administration Building, or in the slot in the Mail Services area. Do not place 

interoffice mail in the U.S. Postal Service collection boxes. 

All incoming letters and packages routed through the U.S. Postal Service 

should be addressed to your post office box number. Packages sent to you via 

UPS, FedEx, Airborne Express, or other parcel-delivery services are accepted by 

Mail Services but should be addressed to 605 Asbury Circle, with your name 

and residence hall on the outside of the package. 

Any questions or comments regarding Mail Services can be directed to the 

mail services manager at 404.712.6172.

The OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF THE CHAPEL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE is the center 

of religious services and programs for the Emory campus. The deans work 

with the other religious leaders appointed by the various denominations and 

faith traditions. 

Affiliated with the United Methodist Church, Emory takes the religious 



dimension of life seriously and provides ample opportunities for worship, study, 

service, and community life. 

University Worship, an interdenominational service, is held each Sunday in 

Cannon Chapel. Undergraduates serve as University Worship deacons, offering 

leadership and hospitality in the worship community. There are morning 

and evening celebrations of the Mass for Roman Catholics each Sunday, and a 

variety of Protestant services are offered during the week. Jewish organizations 

offer Shabbat and High Holy Day services and many other programs and activities. 

Muslim students meet regularly for prayer services and other events. Diwali 

is offered by the Hindu Student Council. Buddhist meditations and sittings are 

available. The Interreligious Council is composed of representatives and staff 

members from all the campus religious groups. Its goal is to foster interreligious 

understanding at Emory. 

In addition to sponsoring many separate programs and activities, the religious 

staff and organizations meet on a regular basis and jointly sponsor events 

during the year. Student organizations related to the dean of the Chapel and 

Religious Life, such as the Emory Chapter of Habitat for Humanity, are active 

in the quest for social justice and service. There are many opportunities for 

active involvement in community service. The dean of the Chapel and Religious 

Life annually sponsors Journey of Reconciliation trips to developing nations or 

within the United States that offer a cross-cultural experience. 

Members of the professional religious staff are available for personal conferences 

on matters of concern. Students should not hesitate to make individual 

appointments with them. For further information, call 404.727.6226 or visit

The OFFICE OF UNIVERSITY MEDIA RELATIONS, located at 1762 Clifton 

Road, Plaza 100D, coordinates the distribution of news releases about University 

activities and events to local, regional, and national media. Student organizations 

wishing to promote University-sanctioned activities and events should contact 

the office (404.727.6216) as soon as possible and no later than four weeks prior 

to an event, in order to meet the deadline schedules of area newspapers, radio, 

and television stations. (For promotion of health sciences center activities, contact 

the health sciences news office at 404.727.5686.) 

The Emory Report, a weekly tabloid, is distributed on Mondays free to faculty, 

staff, and students. The Emory Report is the official newspaper of record 


65


for the University and covers a wide range of events, issues, campus governance 

and policy, and scholarship and research. Its back-page calendar promotes oncampus 

activities and events sponsored by University organizations and affiliates. 

Event information should be entered on the Emory web calendar at www. 

events.cc.emory.edu to be listed in the Emory Report calendar. 

RESIDENCE HALLS on campus embody a sense of community for the establishment 

of lifetime friendships. The diversity of students who reside on campus is a 

source of cultural and educational enrichment that provides a multitude of benefits 

and experiences. 

Eleven halls constitute first-year student housing: Dobbs, Harris, McTyeire, 

Hopkins, Means, Smith, Thomas, New Turman, Longstreet, and Alabama. 

Upperclass residence halls are Turman North, East and South, Woodruff, 

Trimble, Clifton Tower, Thomson, Harris, Gilbert, the theme houses, and the 

Clairmont Campus apartments. All of the traditional halls feature laundry facilities, 

study areas, and lounges. Individual rooms include cable TV and high-speed 

computer data connections to the University network and the Internet. 

Computer labs are housed in Turman, Harris, Thomas, the Graduate 

Residential Center, the Student Activities and Academic Center, and Clairmont 

Apartments Tower. Each residence hall is assigned a residence hall director, resident 

advisers, and sophomore advisers (first-year student halls only)—specially 

trained leaders who provide guidance, assistance, and support for students. All 

halls are coed except Thomas Hall, which is for women only. 

Emory also offers Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) in our residence 

halls, some of which are themed. The themed LLCs include: First Year at 

Emory—Citizenship, Second Year at Emory, Spanish House, OEO (Outdoor 

Emory) House, BSA (Black Student Alliance) House, SHARE (Service House for 

Action and Reflection at Emory), SPICE (Student Program for International and

Communities at Emory, please visit www.emory.edu/HOUSING/LLC.

www.emory.edu/housing. 

STUDENT COUNSELING CENTER, 217 Cox Hall, provides a full range of counseling 

services to Emory students at no charge. 

It is expected that many students will experience some psychological and 

emotional difficulties during their stay at Emory. Given the stresses that accompany 

various intensive courses of study and those that are involved in developing 

peer relationships, most college students seek help, guidance, and support 



from various sources such as friends, advisers, and teachers. In some cases, other 

sources of help may be needed in resolving interpersonal, personal, or academic 

problems. 

The Student Counseling Center offers individual, couples, family, and group 

counseling for both personal and academic difficulties. The Center also functions 

to link students with other service providers should they be needed. When 

students feel they need help for any of these problems, they should come by Cox 

Hall and make an appointment or call 404.727.7450. The center is open from 

8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. 

The SURPLUS PROPERTY PROGRAM, under the auspices of the Campus 

Services Division, is designed with Emory students’ budgets in mind. Popular 

items include desks, tables, chairs, filing cabinets, printers, bookcases, lamps, 

and older computers and parts. For more information about this service, call 

Campus Services’ Customer Service at 404.727.7463.

All students are invited to attend, and any student may submit legislation to be 

discussed by the legislature. 

Much of the work of the legislature is conducted in the committees. The 

finance, governance, student life, and campus services committees investigate 

and recommend changes in areas affecting the quality of student life. The 

Speaker of the Legislature appoints all committee positions. 

The Student Life Committee of SGA is a forum before which students 

should bring their comments, concerns, and suggestions. No problem is too big 

or too small, and members of the committee read all concerns submitted. All 

those interested in attending a meeting should contact the chair, Elena Kanel, at 

ekanel@emory.edu. 

The Governance Committee reviews matters pertaining to all internal SGA 

issues, including the structure and revision of the SGA Constitution and other 

governing documents. The Governance Committee Chair is Wesley Pickard. He 

can be reached at apickar@emory.edu. 

The Finance Committee distributes the roughly $1.8 million received from 

the student activity fee to the divisional councils and chartered organizations. 

The Finance Committee also determines how to spend the interest earned on the 

student activity fee. This money is intended for long-term improvements to the 

University. Past projects include a first responder vehicle, park benches, recycling

bins, athletic equipment, drainage facilities for McDonough Field, and many

The Campus Services Committee is responsible for working with Emory’s 

contracted services on campus to ensure they provide the highest benefit to the 

students. Examples of contracted services are Pitney Bowes for Emory mail, 

Sodhexo for food services, and Efollet for the bookstore. Please contacted the 

Campus Services Chair, Alex Kappus, at akappus@learnlink.emory.edu. 

The judicial branch of student government is the Constitutional Council, 

which functions as the Supreme Court of the student body. Since the SGA is 

concerned with serving students’ needs and rights on campus, the Constitutional 

Council has the power to hear appeals from groups or individuals with regard to 

issues such as violations of student rights and improper procedures. 

Meredith Honeycutt, the SGA business manager, is responsible for overseeing 

more than 350 student organization accounts funded by the SGA with student 

activity fee monies. She also serves as an information source for SGA activities. 

She can be reached at 404.727.3513. 

Student input and willingness to participate can make a difference at Emory. 

In the past the SGA has addressed financial aid budget cuts, the parking crisis, 

campus safety, construction on campus, questions of multiculturalism and 

diversity, and the curriculum. Student government promotes a sense of community 

on the Emory campus and works actively to address students’ concerns. 

Students interested in getting involved should contact the SGA at 404.727.6179 

or Drawer AM or come by DUC 515E. The SGA keeps files on all chartered student 

organizations and has officers’ names and addresses.

of the Student Government Association. Funded by the University-wide student 

activity fee, the SPC provides entertainment for the entire University and 

fosters school spirit through a broad range of concerts, speakers, and events. 

Membership on the council is open to all interested graduate and undergraduate 

students. The personnel involved with SPC range from those interested in music 

and comedy events to those interested in graphic design, music production, and 

marketing. The group consists of roughly forty members who dedicate their time 

to improving the University through fun and innovative programming. Although 

these students are entrusted with the direct responsibility of programming, ideas 

and plans are welcomed and solicited from all divisions of the campus. SPC’s 

weekly meetings, held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. in 355 Dobbs University Center, 

are open to the entire student body. 

SPC events for the upcoming school year include Homecoming Weekend, 

Fall Band Party, Dooley’s Week, and Spring Band Party. SPC will also host various

The legislature has four standing subcommittees: Programming, Student 

Concerns, Administrative, and Budget. Like full legislative meetings, these committee 

meetings are open to the entire Emory community. Legislative meetings 

are held every Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Faculty Dining Room. 

In addition to its legislative functions, the Council sponsors Dooley’s Dates,

The AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL (AME) CONNECTION seeks to provide 

educational support, networking, spiritual well-being, and a sense of community 

to students who are members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The 

AME Connection’s purpose is to encourage Christian witness at Candler School 

of Theology. To achieve this mission, the AME Connection provides opportunities 

for Christian fellowship in an environment that encourages growth and discipleship; 

stimulates students, faculty, and staff to analyze their values and ethical 

beliefs from a Christian perspective; provides a connecting link between local 

African Methodist Episcopal churches and students; and develops ways of working 

together ecumenically with other campus organizations. 

CANDLER AFRICAN THEOLOGICAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION (CATSA) is 

concerned with promoting and facilitating the study of African theologies and 

cultures. In collaboration with groups such as the Candler Black Student Caucus 

and Candler International Student Association, CATSA seeks to foster fellowship 

and encourage interaction among African and Black (i.e. African Diasporan) 

students, faculty, and staff—both with and within Candler’s diverse community. 



CATSA is also dedicated to raising funds to help African students in need of 

financial help. CATSA celebrates the cultural and religious differences among all 

persons; however, CATSA seeks to address the needs particular to those differences. 

CATSA believes that the liberation of Africa is bound with the welfare of 

the world. 

CANDLER BAPTIST COMMUNITY (CBC) gathers regularly for fellowship and 

support. The CBC consists of students from several Baptist denominations and 

encourages dialogue among all who share in the Baptist heritage. Periodic luncheons 

provide an opportunity for conversation and sharing. The purpose of 

CBC is fourfold: (1) to provide support for Baptist students preparing for ministry, 

(2) to provide opportunities for networking and job placement in cooperation 

with the Baptist Studies Program, (3) to raise awareness of issues that affect 

the Baptist students at Candler, and (4) to promote theological education that is 

enriched and enlivened through ecumenical dialogue and relationships. For more 

information, contact David Key, director of the Baptist Studies Program.

African and African American students and as a context for the study of issues 

facing African/African American ministry. Through interest groups such as Sista 

Circle and Brother Man, the CBSC seeks to foster better communication among 

all persons through dialogue that promotes respect and understanding of cultural 

and religious differences and the needs relevant to those differences. The Voices 

of Imani provide the Candler community with a magnificent blend of gospel and 

contemporary music. The CBSC is open to all. 

CANDLER CHILDREN’S INITIATIVE is concerned with the state of the world’s 

children and works to promote awareness, justice, and mercy for those who 

truly are among the least. It is our desire to enable the faith community to move 

beyond the overwhelming nature of the statistics into actions that will effect 

change on both the personal and institutional levels. We are excited about the 

potential that lies within the Candler community and hope you will join us in 

our efforts of mercy and justice for all God’s children. 

CANDLER COORDINATING COUNCIL (C3) is the student governing body for 

all chartered organizations at Candler. Its purpose is to coordinate activities and 

budget monies for all organizations, as well as to legislate policies on campus. 

The group is composed of representatives elected by student organizations and 

other various student constituencies. 

CANDLER EVANGELICAL SOCIETY (CES) is a transdenominational organization 

whose purpose is to minister to, support, educate, and reach out to the 


111


larger Candler community. CES believes the Bible shapes, expresses, and evokes 

a transformative faith, which is supreme faith in, and patterned after, Jesus 

Christ—especially God’s redemptive activity in Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. 

CES seeks to explore the richness of the Christian heritage, paying special 

attention to traditions of the evangelical faith culture. Participants in CES seek 

to grow spiritually and theologically through an open and appreciative encounter 

with the broad range of theological positions and concerns found within the 

Candler community. 

CANDLER INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION (CISA) represents the 

variety of international students within Candler School of Theology. A representative 

from each country forms the executive committee of the association. CISA 

raises awareness of international concerns; provides a forum for discussion; 

enables students to share their gifts and talents; and supports them in their academic 

pursuits through workshops, worship services, community conversations, 

international lunches, and other special events. CISA welcomes everyone to be a 

part of its community. 

CANDLER WOMEN provides community, support, and advocacy for women. 

Candler Women also plans and participates in worship services for women, 

Women’s History Month, and Women’s Week activities, and promotes the

with other Candler groups that minister to the whole Candler community and/or 

support issues of reconciliation and justice. Membership is open to the Candler 

community. 

EMORY KOREAN GRADUATE STUDENT ASSOCIATION contributes to the 

Candler and Emory communities by enriching the multicultural, social, and academic 

experiences of students. Networking and shared communal interests in 

Korean and Korean American ethnicity are supported through this organization. 

THE ORDER OF SAINT LUKE (OSL) is an ecumenical religious order in the 

United Methodist Church whose members vow to live the sacramental life and 

to promote liturgical scholarship, education, and practice. Along with the Office 

of Worship, the OSL leads Morning Prayer and provides leadership for worship 

services. In conjunction with the Office of Student Programming, the OSL plans 

special activities that relate to sacraments and liturgy. OSL meets twice a month 

to worship together and help in the spiritual formation of members and friends. 

SACRED WORTH is organized to support diverse expressions of human love 

and sexuality and is committed to acts of justice, education, conversation, and 

celebration with Candler, Emory University, and the larger community. It hopes 

to be a prophetic voice challenging institutional practices and personal attitudes 

that limit diversity of human sexuality. It welcomes all people, regardless of race, 

112 

2007–2008 CAMPUS LIFE HANDBOOK


color, national origin, sexual or gender orientation, age, or disability. It supports 

the full recognition of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and heterosexual 

persons who feel called to lay or ordained ministry. Sacred Worth seeks to make 

the community a safer, more loving, and respectful place for all people. 

The SOCIAL CONCERNS NETWORK seeks to support, coordinate, and nurture 

social actions and activism that emerge from faith commitments. It promotes the 

living out of theology in an effort to question and transform political, economic, 

and social structures active in society and the world. Recent activities include 

participation in protests, letter-writing campaigns, prayer and worship services, 

a workshop exploring how to nurture a green university, and direct activism on 

campus. Group discussions have focused on diverse topics ranging from homeless 

youth to political involvement in the recent presidential election to unionization. 

In general, the people of SCN strive to support justice issues within the 

Candler community wherever they emerge. 

SPIRITUAL FORMATION is the intentional act of listening and responding to 

God through every area of our lives. Although theological studies provide information 

about our faith, the responsibility for nurturing our souls is ours alone. 

Spiritual Formation seeks to allow Candler students to integrate their studies 

and spiritual lives through short- and long-term small-group options, retreats, 

spiritual direction, and other optional programs and events. 

The YOUNG ADULT SEMINARIANS NETWORK is a network of United 

Methodist seminarians ages 35 and under and those concerned with the issues of 

those 35 and under who seek to support one another in their faith journeys, be

UNIVERSITY POLICIES 

EMORY UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT 

Emory University’s mission is to create, preserve, teach, and apply knowledge in 

the service of humanity. 

To fulfill this mission, the University supports the full range of scholarship, 

from undergraduate to advanced graduate and professional instruction, and 

from basic research to its application in public service. While being a comprehensive 

research university, Emory limits its academic scope to those fields in 

which, by virtue of its history and location, it can excel. Hence, its academic 

programs focus on the arts and sciences, business, law, theology, and the health 

professions. These disciplines are unified by their devotion to liberal learning; 

by cooperative interdisciplinary programs; and by the common pursuit of intellectual 

distinction. 

The Emory community is open to all who meet its high standards of intelligence, 

competence, and integrity. It welcomes a diversity of ethnic, cultural, 

socioeconomic, religious, national, and international backgrounds, believing that 

the intellectual and social energy that results from such diversity is a primary 

asset of the University. 

In keeping with the demand that teaching, learning, research, and service be 

measured by high standards of integrity and excellence, and believing that each 

person and every level of scholarly activity should be valued on its own merits, 

the University aims to imbue scholarship at Emory with: 

• a commitment to humane teaching and mentorship and a respectful 

interaction among faculty, students, and staff; 

• open disciplinary boundaries that encourage integrative teaching, 

research, and scholarship; 

• a commitment to use knowledge to improve human well-being; and 

• a global perspective on the human condition. 

The University, founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church, cherishes its historical 

affiliation with the United Methodist Church. While Emory’s programs are 

today entirely nonsectarian except for those at the Candler School of Theology,

VI. UNIVERSITY POLICIES 

safety of students. 

Undergraduate students needing medical assistance during an alcohol or 

other drug-related emergency will not face formal judicial action by the Office 

of Student Conduct for the mere possession or use of alcohol or drugs. The 

recipients of medical attention will avoid formal judicial action through the 

undergraduate nonacademic conduct process if they participate in a referral with 

the Office of the Senior Vice President for Campus Life within five days of the 

incident and comply with any recommendations prescribed by this office. 

Additionally, undergraduate student(s) or a student organization seeking 

medical assistance for another person during an alcohol or other drug-related 

emergency will not face formal judicial action by the Office of Student Conduct 

for the mere possession or use of alcohol or drugs. In order to acquire medical 

amnesty, these individuals or representatives from organizations may need 

to meet with a representative from the Office of the Senior Vice President for 

Campus Life within five days of the incident and comply with any recommendations 

prescribed by this office. 

Medical amnesty applies only to alcohol or other drug-related medical emergencies 

but does not apply to other prohibited conduct such as assault, property 

damage, or distribution of illicit substances. In cases where an individual or 

organization fails to seek emergency medical assistance when it is clearly indicated, 

formal judicial action will be taken against the individual(s) or organization. 

POLICY STATEMENT ON THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND RELEASE OF 

INFORMATION ABOUT STUDENTS 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain 

rights with respect to their federal education records. They are: 

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education record. 

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records 

to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation 

of the student’s privacy or other rights. 

3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information 

contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent 

that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. 

4. The right to file with the U.S. Department of Education a complaint 

concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the 

requirements of FERPA. 

5. The right to obtain a copy of the University’s student records policy. 

Students may obtain a copy of the policy from the Registrar’s office. 

Information concerning the types and locations of education records 

maintained by the University and the officials responsible for those 

records is available from the Registrar’s office. 

Emory University, like other institutions of higher education, accumulates and 


117


maintains records concerning the characteristics, activities, and accomplishments 

of its students. Because the University recognizes the student’s right of privacy, 

a policy regarding the confidentiality of the information which becomes a part 

of the student’s permanent records and governing the conditions of its disclosure 

has been formulated and adopted. This policy reflects a reasonable balance 

between the obligation of the University for the protection of the right and privacy 

of the student and its responsibility to society. 

Emory University is committed to protecting students from improper disclosure 

of private information. In order to do so, the University must make every 

endeavor to keep the student’s record confidential. All members of the faculty, 

administration, and clerical staff must respect confidential information about 

students that they acquire in the course of their work. At the same time the 

University must be flexible enough in its policies not to hinder the student, the 

institution, or the community in their legitimate pursuits. 

Each of the record-keeping administrative units within the University may 

develop its own additional specific procedures in accordance with the general 

policy stated here. 

I. General Guidelines 

The following guidelines relative to student records represent Emory University 

policy: 

A. All procedures and policies dealing with records shall be formulated 

with due regard for the student’s rights for privacy, freedom of association 

and expression, and intellectual liberty and freedom to learn. 

B. Only those records shall be kept which are necessary in order to meet 

the University’s or student’s goals. 

C. Duplication of record keeping shall be minimized. 

D. All persons who handle student records shall be instructed concerning 

the confidential nature of such information and their professional and 

legal responsibilities regarding these records. 

E. Information from University files which is not of public record shall not 

be available to unauthorized persons without the written consent of the 

student involved. 

F. The University will comply with and abide by all federal and state 

laws which apply directly to the University and the Confidentiality and 

Release of Information About Students—in particular, the federal Family 

Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). 

G. The University Registrar and the Oxford College Registrar are the official 

custodians of academic records at Emory University and Oxford 

College respectively and therefore are the only officials who may issue 

an official transcript of academic record. 

H. Records shall be released to comply with a subpoena or court order 

only with the consent and advice of the University’s legal counsel. 

I. A record shall be maintained, kept with the record of each student, of 



the release of any information contained in a student’s files to individuals 

or agencies outside the University; including the name of the requesting 

individual or agency, date, and purpose of the request. This record 

of access shall be available to the student. 

J. All University policies governing the maintenance and release of 

student records are public and are available to students, faculty and 

administration. 

II. Disclosure of Records 

A. Disclosure to the Student 

1. The student has the right, on request to the proper official, to 

know of the existence and content of all materials that are in his/ 

her official records as kept by the University and/or school of the 

University. The exception to this policy is that letters of recommendation 

or other personally signed confidential documents placed in 

the student’s file before January 1, 1975, will not be made available 

to the student. If a student wishes to obtain confidential recommendations 

to be used for admissions and academic advising purposes 

only (for transfer, graduate, or professional school application), the 

student may exercise a waiver of right of access to these specific 

recommendations. 

2. A student is entitled to an official transcript of his/her academic 

record. A transcript issued to a student will be stamped “Issued to 

Student.” 

3. A student has the right to inspect and review his/her permanent 

academic record card and all official records, files, and data directly 

related to him/her including all material that is incorporated into 

each student’s cumulative record folder and intended for school use 

or to be available to parties outside the school or University. The 

student is entitled to an explanation of any information recorded 

in these files. When the original is shown, examination should be 

permitted only under conditions that will prevent its alteration or 

mutilation. The request for the specific record to be examined or 

reviewed by the student shall be in writing and the University shall 

comply with this request within a reasonable period of time, but in 

no case more than forty-five days after the request has been made. 

The right to inspect and review educational records includes the 

right to obtain copies of the records when failure to provide copies 

would effectively prevent a student from exercising the right to 

inspect and review the educational records. When copies of records 

are provided a fee to cover cost is charged. A schedule of such fees 

is available from the office charged with keeping the records in 

question. 

4. Documents submitted by or for the student in support of his/her 


119


application for admission or for transfer credit will not be returned 

to the student, nor sent elsewhere at his/her request. For example, 

a transcript from another college, or a high school record will not 

be sent to a third institution. The student should request another 

transcript from the original institution. In exceptional cases, however, 

where another transcript is unobtainable or can be secured 

only with the greatest difficulty (as is sometimes true with foreign 

records) copies may be prepared and released to prevent hardship 

to the student. The student must present a signed request. Usually, 

the copy, marked as a certified copy of what is in the student’s file, 

is released. 

B. Disclosure to Faculty and Administrative Officers of the University 

1. Faculty and administrative officers of the University who have a 

legitimate interest in the material and demonstrate a need to know 

for purposes reasonably related to the performance of their official 

duties will be permitted to look over the records of any student. 

2. The contents of the official folder of a student should not be sent 

outside the Office of the Registrar or other records office except in 

circumstances specifically authorized by the Registrar or the custodian 

of the other records. A permanent record card should never 

leave the Office of the Registrar since copies can readily be 

prepared. 

C. Disclosure to Parents, Educational Institutions and Agencies 

1. Transcripts, grade reports, and other educational records will not be 

released to parents or guardians of students without prior written 

approval from the student. The exception to this policy is that the 

University may choose to release information about a student to the 

parents of that student if the student is a dependent student of such 

parents, as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 

1954. 

2. Requests from research organizations of educational institutions 

making statistical studies may be honored without prior approval 

of the student provided no information revealing the student’s identity 

is used. Requests from a philanthropic organization supporting 

a student will be honored only with written approval from the 

student. 

3. No personally identifiable records or files will be released to officials 

of other colleges or universities in which the student intends to 

enroll, unless the student receives notification and, if desired, a copy 

of the records released. 

D. Disclosure to Government Agencies 

The University may release student record information without the 

student’s consent to: 

1. Authorized representatives of the Comptroller General of the United 



States, the Secretary of the Department of Education and State educational 

authorities, which may require records in connection with 

the audit and evaluation of federally supported education programs 

or in connection with the enforcement of, or compliance with, the 

federal legal requirements which relate to these programs, and 

2. State and local officials or authorities to whom such information is 

specifically required to be reported or disclosed pursuant to State 

statute adopted prior to November 19, 1974. 

Concerning release of further information, it should be noted 

that government investigative agencies as such have no inherent 

legal right of access to student files and records. When additional 

information is requested, it normally should be released only on 

written authorization from the student. If such authorization is not 

given, the information should be released only on court order or 

subpoena. If a court order or subpoena is served, the University will 

make a reasonable effort to notify the student whose record is being 

subpoenaed prior to compliance therewith and that subpoena or 

court order will be referred to the University’s legal counsel. 

E. Disclosure to Other Individuals and Organizations 

Information furnished to other individuals and organizations should be 

limited to the items listed below under “directory information” unless 

the request is accompanied by an information or transcript release 

signed by the student, specifying records to be released, the reasons for 

such release, and to whom the records are to be released. Each student 

has the right to refuse to permit the disclosure of directory information 

pertaining to him/her by completing the appropriate form obtained 

from the Registrar’s Office during registration periods. 

F. Disclosure In Response to Telephone Inquiries 

1. Only those items determined by the University to be “directory 

information” may be released in response to telephone inquiries. 

Such items include: 

a. whether or not the student is currently enrolled; 

b. the school or division in which the student is or was enrolled 

and his/her class year; 

c. dates of enrollment including full-time or part-time status; 

d. degree or degrees earned (if any), date of degree, major area of 

concentration, and academic honors received; 

e. awards of merit and participation in officially recognized activities 

and sports; 

f. addresses and telephone numbers; and 

g. electronic mail address. 

2. Urgent requests for student information based on an apparent 

emergency will be handled by the Registrar or other appropriate 

University officer. It should be noted that these offices, however, 


121


will not knowingly serve as the source of information for landlords, 

collection agencies, sales personnel, etc. 

G. Student Directory 

At the beginning of each academic year, Emory University publishes a 

Student Directory. This directory is allowed general distribution. The 

information contained in the directory is considered to be a matter of 

public record. (See specific items in F-1 above.) This being the case, each 

student has the right to direct that his/her address and telephone number 

be omitted. 

H. Disclosure by Other Offices of the Institution 

1. The foregoing guidelines are applicable to handling any requests for 

academic information about students or former students received 

by any member of the faculty, administration, or clerical staff. The 

guidelines are intended to protect the individual’s rights to privacy 

and the confidentiality of his/her academic records throughout the 

University. 

2. All University personnel should be alert to refer promptly to the 

Office of the Registrar or other appropriate offices request for transcripts, 

certifications, or other information which that office typically 

provides. 

3. Material in a student’s placement file will be released for the purpose 

of prospective employment only on written request of the 

student. Whenever there is a need for the University to issue a 

transcript of the students’s educational record in connection with 

employment, it must be specifically requested of the Office of the 

Registrar by the student. 

I. Withholding Information 

There may be conditions such as financial obligations, violations of 

non-academic regulations, etc., under which the University will withhold 

transcripts, certifications, or other information about a student. In 

such instances, the student and the Office of the Registrar must be notified 

in writing before the “hold” is initiated. This notification must state 

the reason for such hold and the conditions to be met before release can 

be made. 

III. Disclosure of Special Types of Records 

Separate and specific safeguards against unauthorized access have been developed 

for medical, disciplinary, financial, therapeutic, and counseling records 

based on their unique characteristics and high level of sensitivity. Each of the 

record-keeping administrative units involved in the maintenance of these records 

has developed its own procedures in accord with the general policy stated here. 

A. Medical Records 

Medical records are kept only in the Student Health Services centers of 

Emory University and Oxford College. The Student Health Services cen- 



ters release health records only with a signed authorization from the student. 

Requests for information regarding the health of a student should 

be referred to the Director of the Student Health Services center. 

B. Disciplinary Records 

Records of disciplinary action taken by the University are kept in the 

offices of the deans. The reason for disciplinary suspension is never a 

part of the academic transcript of any student. Disciplinary records are 

not released for use outside the University unless authorized in writing 

by the student or required by law. The student has the right to inspect 

and review his/her disciplinary records. 

C. Counseling and Testing Records 

Records of the counseling or testing services are released only on written 

request of the student, except where such disclosure is required by law. 

Requests for information regarding the counseling or testing records of 

a student should be referred to the director of that service. 

D. Financial Records 

Loans, scholarships, grant applications, financial awards, and student 

employment records are separate from other academic and student personnel 

records. Information concerning loans, grants, scholarship, and 

employment may be released to faculty and administrative staff if such 

information is judged to be needed in the performance of their respective 

responsibilities. Financial information will not be released to any 

other source outside the University except to federal and state assistance 

programs unless the student requests specifically, and in writing, that 

his/her financial record (or any part of it) may be released. The financial 

records of the parent of the student or any information contained 

therein are not available to the student. 

IV. Hearing 

The student shall have the right to request that the University amend his/her 

records and, if that request is denied, the student shall have the right to a hearing 

to challenge the content of the student’s official University records, to ensure 

that the records are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the 

privacy or other rights of students and to provide an opportunity for the correction 

or deletion of any inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate 

data contained therein. If the University declines to amend the record following 

the hearing, the student shall have the right to place a statement in his or her 

records commenting on the information in the record and stating his/her reasons 

for disagreeing with the University’s decision not to amend it. 

V. Maintenance and Retention of Student Records 

Procedures should be established within all offices responsible for maintaining 

student records for the regular and periodic review of all information for the 

purposes of ensuring its accuracy and continued usefulness and elimination of 


123


unnecessary and unverified data. If a student record is to be maintained two 

conditions must be met: (1) its accuracy should be verified by appropriate means 

and (2) its continuing usefulness should be clearly demonstrated. 

Only records that survive these two criteria should be maintained by the 

institution and then only for a specified period of time. Due consideration 

should be given to the needs of the archivists as well as to the rights of the individual 

student in determining the long-term retention of student information. 

All persons, agencies, or organizations outside the University judged as 

having a legitimate need to know that are given access to the records of a specific 

student must sign a form which will be kept permanently with the file of 

the student, but only for inspection by the student, indicating specifically the 

legitimate educational or other interest that such person has in seeking this 

information. 

Retention Recommendations: 

Each office of the University responsible for keeping student records should 

develop a recommended schedule of retention for all records. These retention 

schedules should be coordinated and must be consistent. 

The required schedules of retention, as well as any necessary additional specific 

policies--developed in accordance with the above general University policy- 

-adopted by schools or departments of the University, will become a part of this 

document and shall also be a matter of public record. 

VI. Definitions 

A. Student 

As referred to in both the Family Educational Rights and Privacy 

Act of 1974 (FERPA) and the University’s Policy Statement on the 

Confidentiality and Release of Information About Students, “student” 

includes “any person with respect to whom an educational agency or 

institution maintains educational records or personally identifiable 

information, but does not include a person who has not been in attendance 

at such agency or institution.” This therefore excludes applicants 

who have been admitted and did not enroll and applicants who were 

denied admission. 

B. Educational Records 

Emory University policy statement on the Confidentiality and Release of 

Information About Students and FERPA as amended considers as falling 

outside the definition of Educational Records, and thus does not open 

to inspection by students, the following materials: 

1. records about students made by instructors and/or administrators 

for their own use and not shown to others; 

2. employment records for students who are University employees 

unless the student was employed as a result of his/her status as a 

student; 



3. records about University students “created or maintained by a physician, 

psychiatrist, psychologist, or other recognized professional or 

paraprofessional” acting or assisting in such capacity for treatment 

purposes and which are available only to persons providing such 

treatment. 

C. Hearing 

As applies to the University’s policy statement section IV - Hearing: A 

student may challenge a grade only on the grounds that it was inaccurately 

recorded, not that it was lower than the instructor ought to have 

awarded. Thus, the “Right to Challenge Hearings” excludes challenging 

grades on the basis of the grade being other than expected. 

D. Access to Student Records Without Student’s Consent 

FERPA, and hence the University, lists the following as those who may 

have access to a student’s record without the student’s consent: 

1. state and local officials to whom state law in effect on November 

19, 1974, required information to be reported; 

2. organizations like ETS and CEEB in connection with “developing, 

validating or administering predictive tests, administering student 

aid programs, and improving instruction”; 

3. “accrediting organizations in order to carry out their accrediting 

function”; 

4. parents of a student who is dependent for income tax purposes 

(dependent student as defined in Section 152 of the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1954); 

5. “appropriate persons” in the case of health and safety emergencies. 

Regarding the release of information for health or safety emergencies, 

the regulations of the Department of Education state that 

educational institutions may release information from educational 

records if the knowledge of such information is necessary to protect 

the health or safety of a student or other persons. Factors that 

should be taken into account in determining whether records may 

be released under this section include the following: 

a. the seriousness of the threat to the health or safety of the 

student; 

b. the need for such records to meet the emergency; 

c. whether the person to whom such records are released is in a 

position to deal with the emergency; and 

d. the extent to which time is of the essence in dealing with the 

emergency. 

In certain cases, a representative of the Senior Vice President and 

Dean for Campus Life will notify a parent/guardian of a student’s 

violation of Emory University’s Conduct policy regarding inappropriate 

possession and/or use of alcohol and other drugs. This will 

be done in cases in which the health and/or safety of the student 


125


may be of concern to the University. Furthermore, “in determining 

whether a bona fide emergency exists, institutional officials should 

be aware that the exception is to be construed narrowly.” Other 

than in the exceptions stated in this policy, the University may not 

release “personally identifiable information in educational records” 

or allow anyone access to those records, unless the student has 

given his/her written consent “specifying records to be released, the 

reasons for such release, and to whom” with a copy of the released 

records to be furnished to the student if so requested. 

E. Subpoena or Court Order 

If the University is responding to a court order or subpoena, it is under 

no requirement to give the student a copy of the materials furnished, 

but it must make a reasonable effort to notify the student of all such 

orders or subpoenas in advance of compliance therewith. 

F. University Employees 

The University’s own employees, “if within the category determined by 

the University itself to have a legitimate educational interest in the file, 

need not execute any explanatory statement, nor must a record of their 

access be kept when indeed they are accessing a student’s record.” In 

effect, only “outsiders” who request or obtain file access must explain 

their reasons. 

VII. Complaints 

Students have the right to file written complaints with the Office of the Secretary 

of the U.S. Department of Education concerning the University’s alleged failure 

to comply with FERPA or the regulations promulgated thereunder. 

Revised 04-04-2006 

DISCRIMINATORY HARASSMENT 

Please note: This is excerpted from the Equal Opportunity and Discriminatory 

Policy. For the full policy, go to www.emory.edu/EEO. Inquiries regarding the 

policy should be directed to the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP) 

at 110 Administration Building, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, Phone: 404.727.6016; 

fax: 404.727.2666; TDD: 404.712.2049 

In keeping with its commitment to maintaining an environment that is free 

of unlawful discrimination and in keeping with its legal obligations, Emory 

maintains a policy prohibiting unlawful harassment (and discouraging conduct 

that, while not unlawful, could reasonably be considered harassment as defined 

below). Discriminatory harassment of any kind is not appropriate at Emory, 

whether it is sexual harassment or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, 

ethnic or national origin, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, veteran’s 

status, or any factor that is a prohibited consideration under applicable law. 



At the same time, Emory recognizes the centrality of academic freedom and the 

University’s determination to protect the full and frank discussion of ideas. Thus, 

discriminatory harassment does not refer to the use of materials about or discussion 

of race, color, religion, ethnic or national origin, gender, age, disability, sexual 

orientation, etc. for scholarly purposes appropriate to the academic context, 

such as class discussions, academic conferences, or meetings. 

RESIDENCE LIFE & HOUSING STANDARDS AND POLICIES 

All policies may be amended or changed at any time at the discretion of the 

Office of Residence Life & Housing. 

Purpose 

The purpose of the residential community at Emory University is to enhance the 

academic environment and provide students with a well maintained, safe, and 

positive living experience. You have the right to expect an environment that is 

conducive to study, sleep, and socialization. 

Many diverse individuals comprise the residential community at Emory. As 

a result of this shared environment, it is necessary for the University to have policies 

and procedures in place that serve as standards for all residents’ behaviors. 

These policies are not meant to hinder the student but to protect individual and 

community rights. 

Residence Hall Standards and Policies 

1. Residence hall staff and custodial and maintenance personnel may enter 

assigned rooms at reasonable hours for purposes of inspection, maintenance, 

or to repair rooms and furnishings, or for reasons of health and safety. 

Students should be aware that room inspections will take place at winter 

break, as well as pre-announced mid-semester periods. 

2. Search of residence hall rooms may be made by authorized University officials, 

including residence hall staff, in emergencies when life or property 

appear to be in danger or to investigate suspected violations of state or federal 

law or University policy where reasonable cause has been established. 

3. The Office of Residence Life & Housing has the right to levy and collect 

fines for unauthorized use or alterations of rooms, equipment, or buildings; 

for special cleaning necessitated by improper care or use of rooms, common 

areas/spaces, and equipment; and for noncompliance with registration or 

check-out procedures. 

4. The executive director of Residence Life & Housing, or his or her designee, 

reserves the right to require single occupants living in double rooms to move 

together in order to open double rooms for others. 

5. The University furnishes each student living in University housing with a 

bed, chest of drawers, a closet (or wardrobe), a desk, and a chair. Students 

may provide draperies or other decorations. The University does not provide 


127


linens or pillows. Custodial service is provided for residence hall areas other 

than students’ rooms (and within apartments). Students are responsible for 

keeping their rooms orderly and sanitary and for cooperating in the upkeep 

of common areas. Residents living in apartment-style living are responsible 

for cleaning and maintaining sanitary conditions in their bathrooms and 

kitchen areas. The Office of Residence Life & Housing reserves the right 

to levy and collect fines for unsanitary conditions or severe neglect in the 

upkeep of a room; it also reserves the right to levy and collect group bills for 

common area damages. 

6. The University reserves the right to disallow furniture and fixtures which 

residents add to the rooms if it is determined that those items present a 

health or safety hazard. All University and student property must remain 

within your room/apartment, and items found in common areas/hallways 

will be considered abandoned—and thus, may be discarded. 

7. The University does not provide facilities for students to store personal 

belongings. Students are encouraged to only bring to campus what they will 

need until there is an opportunity to return home. Though there may be 

some common area closets in some residential facilities, the University cannot 

take responsibility for personal items that are lost, stolen, or damaged. 

8. On-campus housing for admitted students who are less than 18 years old is 

subject to the approval of both the executive director of Residence Life & 

Housing and the director of admission. The University is concerned about 

providing all students with a safe and secure residential environment and 

experience. The University’s residential facilities, however, were not designed 

with students under the age of 18 in mind. The University will not provide 

custodial care for minors who reside in the University’s residential facilities 

and does not have the resources to provide individual monitoring for these 

students. Students who are not 18 at the time of matriculation are expected 

to comply with all of the University’s policies and procedures as they apply 

to the residential community and otherwise. 

General Resident Student Policies 

It is an expectation that once students sign their respective Housing Agreement, 

they understand the rules and regulations of living in campus housing—regardless 

of whether residency is within a traditional hall, suite, apartment, Greek/ 

theme housing or on the Clairmont Campus. Throughout the year, publications, 

brochures, electronic mail messages, and flyers are distributed, sent, or posted 

in an attempt to convey information to residents. Information also is provided 

through the use of floor meetings and interaction between hall staff and 

residents. 

You are ultimately responsible for knowing about, and are held accountable 

for, the information listed below as well as information noted in the Emory 

Campus Life Handbook. Residence hall staff do not give verbal or written warnings 

for violations of rules, policies, or procedures outside of what may already 



be stated in Residence Life & Housing publications or what has been previously 

stated within the halls. When residents violate policies, the University is obligated 

to take action. For more information, please refer to the Undergraduate Code 

of Conduct or contact the Office of Student Conduct (404.727.7190). 

Abandoned Possessions 

It is important that you remove all personal possessions, furnishings, trash, 

and discarded items at the time you depart your room/apartment. Property left 

behind in your room will be considered abandoned and will become the property 

of the University. You will be charged for the removal of any abandoned 

items from your former room/apartment. 

Alcohol 

Emory University abides by Georgia State law concerning the sale, possession, 

and use of alcohol. Students under the age of 21 who purchase or knowingly 

possess an alcoholic beverage violate state law and University policy. Any person 

who furnishes an alcoholic beverage to a person who is under 21 years of 

age is also in violation. Alcohol is not allowed in common areas (such as lobbies, 

lounges, study rooms, hallways) of the residence halls. Common containers 

(such as kegs and punch bowls) are not permitted in the residence halls or food 

service areas of the residence halls. Public intoxication, consumption, or display 

of liquors, wines, or beers in residential facilities is prohibited. Furthermore, 

unbecoming behavior or any conduct violation committed by a student under 

the influence of alcohol is prohibited. 

Residents under the age of 21: 

• Are not permitted to be under the influence of alcohol while in the residence 

halls. 

• Are not permitted to be in possession of or store alcohol in the residence 

halls, consistent with state law. 

• Are not permitted to possess any container that may have once contained 

alcohol (cans, bottles, or bongs) in the residence halls, regardless 

of their decorative purpose. 

• Are subject to judicial action if they are present in the room when any 

of the aforementioned violations take place. 

Additionally, it is unlawful to use identification fraudulently or to allow another 

person to use one’s own identification fraudulently to obtain alcoholic beverages. 

The use of alcoholic beverages as a prize in any type of contest is prohibited. 

Beer slides, drinking contests, and drinking contest paraphernalia (i.e. funnels, 

beer pong tables, and ice slides) are also prohibited within residential facilities 

and contiguous areas. 

Alterations 

No permanent alterations can be made to a room or apartment. This includes 

painting the walls. All shelves, beds, tarps, etc., must be free-standing and may 


129


not be affixed to walls, balconies, or other permanent fixtures. Ceiling fans, dimmer 

switches, and other electrical alterations are prohibited. Prior approval by 

the Office of Residence Life & Housing is required to make any modifications 

to a room/apartment. When approved, such modifications become the property 

of Emory University and must remain when the resident departs their room/ 

apartment. 

Balconies 

For your safety, the following items may not be hung, draped, or otherwise 

affixed to your balconies: 

• Flags 

• Tarps 

• Hammocks 

• Other tapestry or large decorative items 

Throwing any items (including fireworks) off of balconies is also prohibited. 

This behavior is considered a conduct violation and may result in the termination 

of your Housing/ Lease Agreement. Balconies include any platforms overlooking 

an area below, whether they be outside an apartment or in a breezeway. 

Bicycles, Motorcycles, and Scooters 

We strongly suggest that you register your bicycle with the Emory Police 

Department and keep it locked when not in use. Bicycles may not be stored in 

stairwells, hallways, secured on railings adjacent to ramps/building entrance 

locations, or other common areas of residence halls. Those found in the stairwells 

will be removed for safety reasons and placed in storage. Bicycles should 

be parked on the available bicycle racks. When left at the end of the year, bicycles 

are considered abandoned and will be removed and disposed of in a charitable 

manner. 

Vehicles with combustion engines may not be stored in or around the residence 

halls. Motorcycles and scooters should be parked in their designated 

parking spaces. Vehicles found in violation of this policy will be removed by the 

University, and all costs associated will be charged to the responsible party’s student 

account. 

Candles and Incense 

Candles, incense, and other combustible materials are prohibited in the residence 

halls, regardless of decorative purposes. Students who desire exemption for religious 

practices must receive approval in writing from the appropriate area director 

prior to use or possession in the residence halls. 

Children 

In those residential areas that permit family residency, parents or guardians are 

expected to ensure supervision of their children at all times and will be held 

accountable for their children’s actions. Children should not be allowed to play 



in areas that could be dangerous to their welfare. Children under 12 must be 

supervised by an adult in all common spaces, including the student programming 

rooms, computer labs, exercise facilities, laundry rooms, lobbies, the Penthouse, 

music practice rooms, and the grounds of the Student Activity and Academic 

Center. Failure to properly supervise children will be considered a lease violation 

and can affect residential eligibility. 

Cooking 

With the exception of the apartment-style residence halls listed below, residents 

may not cook in their rooms. Because of the fire hazards, sanitation problems, 

and power consumption involved, cooking is restricted to common kitchens 

provided in each residence hall. Only the following appliances are permitted 

in your room: blenders, coffee makers, popcorn poppers, and small hot pots 

(no exposed coils). Except for Micro-Fridges, microwaves are only permitted 

in apartment and studio style residence halls listed above. All items must be 

Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved. Residence hall staff will confiscate and 

place in storage anything present in your room that violates this policy. 

Cooking is permitted in the kitchen facilities of the following residence halls: 

Clifton Tower, Turman South, and Clairmont Campus. Residents may use kitchen 

appliances approved by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) at their own risk 

and expense. Residence Life staff reserve the right to confiscate any item present 

in your room or apartment that violates this policy. 

Decorations 

Residents are encouraged to personalize their rooms, while still following the 

guidelines below. 

a. Residents may not paint any piece of University furniture or surface in their 

rooms. 

b. Light fixtures and sprinkler heads should never be used to hang things, as 

they are not mounted to hold additional weight. 

c. Decorations for your room consisting of sheets, nets, or large pieces of 

material hung or draped from the ceilings/walls are prohibited. Large pieces 

of material are considered a fire hazard, especially when draped across the 

ceiling. 

d. An easily removable adhesive must be used to hang posters, prints, and 

pictures. Be sure to test the adhesive on a small, hidden area of your 

room before using. You will be charged at the end of the year for any 

damage caused by adhesive removal and/or failure to remove the adhesive 

product. 

e. Alcohol and drug paraphernalia and candles or other incendiary devices 

may not be present in any residence hall, regardless of decorative purpose. 

f. No alterations are to be made to the furniture, fixtures, or surfaces provided 

by the University and no construction or alteration of any type may take 

place within a room without the express written consent of the Office of 


131


Residence Life & Housing. 

g. No live/cut trees are permitted in any residential facility. Artificial trees 

should not block access to fire safety equipment or exits, and should be 

treated with fire protection. 

h. Only UL approved lights are permitted. Halogen floor and desk lamps are 

prohibited. Do not overload outlets or hang lights near flammable materials. 

Be sure to unplug decorative lights at the end of the day. No candles or open 

flames. Lights may not be hung from sprinkler heads or on the exterior of 

the apartment door. 

h. Furnishings are not to be used for any function other than their intended 

purpose. University equipment, furniture, or furnishing may not be removed 

or disassembled. Students will be charged for replacement or repair costs. 

Discrimination and Harassment/Acts of Intolerance 

It is the policy of Emory University that all employees and students should be 

able to enjoy and work in an educational environment free from discriminatory 

harassment. Harassment of any person or groups of persons on the basis of race, 

color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender 

expression, age, handicap, or veteran’s status is a form of discrimination specifically 

prohibited in the Emory University community. Any employee, student, student 

organization, or person privileged to work or study in the Emory University 

community who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to 

and including permanent exclusion from the University. 

Discriminatory harassment includes conduct (oral, written, graphic, or physical) 

directed against any person because of their race, color, national origin, religion, 

sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, handicap, 

or veteran’s status and that has the purpose or reasonably foreseeable effect of 

creating an offensive, demeaning, intimidating, or hostile environment for that 

person or group of persons. Such conduct includes but is not limited to, objectionable 

epithets, demeaning depiction or treatment, and threatening or actual 

abuse or harm. 

In conjunction with the University’s discriminatory harassment policy, the 

Office of Residence Life and Student Conduct have drafted an Act of Intolerance 

(AOI) Policy. An AOI is defined as any act (oral, written, graphic, or physical) 

directed against any person or group as a result of their personage including but 

not limited to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender 

identity, gender expression, age, ability, or veteran’s status, that has the affect 

of creating an offensive, demeaning, intimidating or hostile environment for that 

person in particular or others who may see, hear, or otherwise witness the act. 

Furthermore, students’ use of epithets or names in a derogatory manner will be 

constituted as an “AOI.” The Office of Residence Life and Student Conduct 

have the sole right to determine what is considered an AOI. 



Drugs 

The use, possession, sale, or distribution of paraphernalia, narcotics or illegal 

drugs (e.g., marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine) is strictly prohibited on the campus and 

in the residential facilities of Emory University. The unauthorized use of, possession, 

sale, or distribution of drugs sometimes prescribed for medical purposes 

(e.g., antidepressants, amphetamines, barbiturates, and tranquilizers) is also 

strictly prohibited. Pipes, bongs, hookahs, and the like are not permitted. The 

Office of Residence Life reserves the right to confiscate such items, regardless of 

their decorative purpose. 

Electrical Appliances 

In order to insure maximum health and safety standards in all residential facilities, 

several categories of electrical appliances have been established. They are: 

• Appliances that may not be used or stored in residence halls. These 

include toasters, toaster ovens, convection ovens, electric skillets, waffle 

or crepe pans, crock pots, hot plates, hamburger makers, George 

Foreman Grills (or similar devices), space heaters, electric blankets, or 

halogen lamps. 

• Appliances that may be used and stored in student rooms. These include 

clocks, televisions, musical appliances, electric razors, air purifiers, hair 

dryers, blenders, coffee makers, irons, hot air popcorn poppers, and 

fans. All items must be Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approved. 

• Refrigerators that meet University standards (maximum 10 amps/3 

cubic feet) are permitted. Additionally, only one refrigerator/Micro- 

Fridge may be used within individual student rooms. 

• The University no longer permits the use of halogen lamps, string lights, 

and plug-in air fresheners in any residential facilities. 

• Overhead, or room, lights may not be covered with any material. 

• Though neon lights are permitted within the residential facilities, they 

may not be placed in windows or be seen from the exterior of the 

building. 

• Black (or dark) overhead light bulbs are prohibited in student rooms, 

lounges, houses, and hallways. 

• Any unapproved, or hazardous, appliance found within any residential 

facility may be confiscated by a member of the residence hall staff. 

Electrical Extensions Policy 

In the interest of fire and life safety, and upon the recommendation of national 

and local fire officials, the use or possession of extension cords, multiple plugs, 

multiple plug converters, or air fresheners with an additional plug adaptor are 

prohibited within all University residential facilities. Residents are permitted to 

use Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) approved power strips with circuit breakers. 

Extension cords, multiple plugs, multiple plug converters, or air fresheners with 

an additional plug adaptor found by staff will be confiscated. 


133


Explosives and Weapons 

Possession of any firearms, pellet guns, paint ball guns, knives, target rifles, fireworks, 

nunchaku, and other items that are considered to be dangerous is strictly 

prohibited. Any item of this nature found in a student room will be confiscated 

by hall staff and the occupants of the room will be referred to the conduct process 

for disciplinary action. 

Fireplaces 

Use of fireplaces in any residence hall is prohibited. 

Fire Safety 

Fire alarms and equipment are located on each floor. In addition, each room 

contains smoke detectors. If your smoke detector needs resetting, please report 

this to your RA or RHD. Evacuation procedures in residence halls are located 

on the back of your room door. At Clairmont Campus, they are located in 

the breezeways on the exterior of your apartment. Please read these carefully. 

The University will not tolerate students’ starting fires in or near the residence 

halls. Tampering with fire alarm mechanisms (including smoke detectors) or 

extinguishers or refusing to vacate the building during a fire alarm will result in 

strong disciplinary action, possible termination of the housing agreement, and/or 

suspension from the University. 

Fire Evacuation Policy 

For proper procedure: 

• Activate the fire alarm. 

• Call Emory Police, 911 from on campus or 404.727.6111 via cell telephone 

and report your name. Report the name of the building, location 

of fire (wing, floor, and room), nature of fire (laundry equipment, 

mattress). Stay on the line for questions if it is safe to do so. The police 

communications officer will contact the local fire department. 

• Close all doors leading to the area (do not lock them). 

• Meet the students from your area as arranged in advance. 

• Wait for further instructions from your hall director, resident advisor, or 

safety personnel. 

Flammable Materials Policy 

Flammable materials such as lighter fluid, grill brickets, propane, kerosene, 

gasoline, oil-based paint, tiki torches, and paint thinner are not allowed in any 

residential facility. Anything that could either start or rapidly accelerate a fire 

is restricted from the hall. If you have questions about whether something is 

allowed, please contact your hall staff. While we do not require any furniture 

you bring to be fire-retardant, you should do everything to keep your room as 

risk-free as possible. 



Furniture 

Removal of University furniture from student rooms is prohibited. No alterations 

are to be made to University furniture and all furniture must be returned to the 

original configuration upon check-out from the room. Additional furnishings 

brought into the room must be freestanding and clear of all existing fixtures, furniture, 

or walls. Removal of common area furnishings or equipment from their 

proper locations constitutes theft of University property. 

Grills/Outdoor Grilling 

Residents may only grill on external grills already installed on campus by Emory. 

Grilling is not allowed in any other locations. Please be respectful of nearby residents 

when using the grills. 

Halogen Lamps and Other Lighting 

Halogen floor and desk lamps, and other hazardous lights (such as tube lighting), 

are not permitted in the residence halls for fire safety reasons. Any hazardous 

light found in a room may be confiscated by the residence hall staff. 

Insurance 

The University is not responsible for damage, loss, or theft of property in any 

residential facility (or for personal injury). Students are encouraged to obtain 

insurance through their parent’s or guardian’s insurance company or purchase 

individual renter’s insurance to cover possible losses. 

Keys/Locks 

Keys (entrance and room) are the property of the University and must be surrendered 

on termination of the residence. Keys which are not returned at the 

designated time, through authorized check-out procedures, will be considered 

lost keys. Lost room keys will result in an automatic lock change ($60 or 

more, depending on location). A charge of $25 will be assessed for replacing 

an entrance key. Keys should be carried at all times and shall not be loaned or 

duplicated. Hall staffs are not responsible for students’ lock-outs. (See lock out 

policy). Auxiliary locks may not be installed nor may residents tamper with an 

existing lock. Repeated requests for hall staff to unlock a resident’s door may 

result in an automatic lock change. 

Graduate residents are issued one apartment entrance key, one building 

entrance key, and one mailbox key. Undergraduate residents are issued one 

room/apartment entrance key and one building entrance key. 

Lock Out Policy 

If a resident is locked out of his or her room, the following protocol is to be followed: 

• If a resident is locked out of his or her room on Central Campus 

between the hours of 8 a.m.–8 p.m. s/he will be allowed access to the 


135


room without charge. Resident should locate available staff member to 

gain access to room. Staff members are not expected to be in the building 

between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. 

• If a resident is locked out of his her room between the hours of 8 p.m.– 

12 midnight, they should find the “RA on-call.” If a resident asks an 

RA who is not on call to gain access to a room then the RA should refer 

the resident to the “RA on-call.” 

• If a resident is locked out of his/her room between the hours of 12 

midnight–8 a.m., the resident must seek the “RA on-call” to gain entry 

into his/her room. A charge of $10 will be assessed to his/her student 

account for each lock-out at the end of each month. 

• For students who are repeatedly locked out of their rooms, a $10 fee 

will be assessed for each lock-out after s/he is locked out more than 

three times in a semester. This will apply to all lock-outs, regardless of 

time-of-day. 

It is required that the Residence Life staff member seek some form of credible 

evidence (e.g. EmoryCard) from the resident to confirm that s/he is gaining 

access to the proper room. In addition, upon entering the room it is advised that 

the staff member will request that the resident display the room and entrance 

keys to ensure the keys are not lost or missing. 

Lofts/Raised Beds 

Lofts/raised beds are permitted if each resident adheres to the guidelines in the 

Raised Beds Guidelines and Agreement form. Lofts and raised beds may be built 

only after an agreement has been signed. Forms can be obtained from your RA 

or RHD. The “flipping” of beds also is not permitted. 

The following set of guidelines is designed as a guide for building raised 

beds in a residence hall room. Any variation from these guidelines should be discussed 

with the appropriate area director or complex director. Lofts/raised beds 

are NOT permitted at Clairmont Campus. 

Raised Bed Construction Specifications: 

a. The top of the mattress shall be no closer than 36" from the ceiling. The 

bottom of the top bed must be 4'8" from the floor. There must be at least 

24" clearance to HVAC units. 

b. Total usable surface area parallel with the floor shall be no greater than that 

necessary to adequately support the University provided bed(s). 

c. Bed(s) shall be supported under all four corners of each frame. 

d. If beds are to be one (or part of one) above the other, a clearance of at least 

36" must be maintained between the bottom of the upper bed and the top 

of the mattress on the bottom bed. 

e. The sleeping area cannot be structurally enclosed in any manner that might 

restrict exit from the room (windows and doors). 

f. The design must be free standing and may not be attached to or lean against 



the wall or other objects for support. 

g. Special care should be taken to provide adequate protection for the floor, 

walls, or ceiling which may be in contact with the construction. 

h. All wooden building material shall be 2"x6" or larger (or of comparable 

strength) except for the braces, which may be as small as 2"x4". All metal 

construction must be of 2" angle iron or larger. 

i. All connections to vertical supports shall be made with two bolts each of at 

least 1/2" diameter (not nailed, glued, or welded). 

j. Cross braces must be installed at each end and on one side to ensure structural 

support. 

k. Lofts may not be constructed out of PVC pipe or using cinderblock and/or 

University furniture. 

l. A safety rail on a loft is recommended to prevent injuries from falls. 

Inspection Specifications for Raised Beds 

a. The residence hall director must inspect the structure and grant written permission 

to the residents for the raised bed to remain in the room. Inspection 

will be done by the RHD according to the specifications set forth herein 

and/or on the inspection form. 

b. Any modifications to the raised bed must be made within 24 hours after the 

initial inspection in order to comply with specifications or the structure must 

be removed within the same time period. 

c. Failure to have inspection complete may result in having the raised bed 

removed by a University staff member. Subsequent charges will be assessed. 

Please contact the residence hall director, complex director or area director if 

you have questions. Obtain clarification about the policy before constructing 

and assembling a raised bed (IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE). 

Raised beds may not be placed in student rooms in any University residence 

hall unless all students who reside in that room execute the appropriate Release, 

Assumption of Risk, Covenant Not to Sue, and Waiver. If any resident is under 

18 years of age, his or her parent or guardian must also sign the document. 

Lounge Use/Reservation Policy 

Designated residence hall lounges are available for use by recognized campus 

groups and organizations, as well as individual student functions during the academic 

year. The following information outlines the process for reserving space. 

Residential staff always has first priority in the use of any designated lounge 

space within the residential facilities. 

Lounges located on the Central Campus may be reserved through the Office 

of Residence Life & Housing located in Alabama Hall while the Clairmont 

Community Office handles reservations on the Clairmont Campus (in conjunction 

with staff at the Student Athletic and Academic Center). 

Completion of a Lounge Reservation form must be completed three business 

days prior to the desired scheduled event. 


137


The sponsoring organization/person assumes responsibility for all participants 

at their functions and should any damage or cleaning need to occur after 

the event, all charges will be assessed to this group or individual. 

Pets 

Due to health and safety hazards and sanitation problems, pets are not allowed 

in the residence halls. Residents are not permitted to keep dogs or cats as guests 

even for brief periods of time. Full-time, professional Residence Life & Housing 

staff members are permitted to have pets provided that they receive approval 

from the Office of Residence Life & Housing. Fish are permitted with the mutual 

consent of roommates. The maximum allowed capacity of a fish tank is two gallons. 

If discovered, pets will be removed and residents will be assessed a cleaning 

charge. Feeding stray animals is prohibited. Please teach children not to approach 

stray animals to avoid possible exposure to rabies or other diseases. 

Posting Policy 

All items posted in residence halls should be placed on the bulletin boards provided. 

The staff in the Office of Residence Life at Alabama Hall must approve 

posters, flyers, etc., before distribution or posting in the residence halls. 

Quiet Hours and Courtesy Hours 

In order to provide an environment that is conducive to sleeping and studying, 

quiet hours will be maintained Sunday to Thursday from midnight till 8 a.m., 

and Friday and Saturday 1 a.m. till 8 a.m. These times will be extended during 

exam periods. The staff retains the right to uphold and implement these policies. 

All residents are required to respect their neighbors by maintaining twenty-four 

hour courtesy hours. Residents violating this policy will be referred to the conduct 

process for disciplinary action. 

Personal amplification systems including stereos and radios may not at any 

time be played loudly, be placed in facility windows, or be used with the intention 

of entertaining individuals outside the resident’s room. 

Room Entry 

While the University makes every reasonable attempt to respect students’ privacy, 

it reserves the right to enter a room and, if deemed necessary, to conduct a search 

of a room. Typically, University personnel will limit room entry to the following 

instances: 

A. Administrative Searches: Administrative searches are those conducted due to 

suspicion that a University rule or regulation has been violated and that evidence 

of a violation will likely be found in a particular place. Authorization 

is given by the associate dean of Campus Life (or designee). The student 

whose room/belongings are in question shall be present whenever possible; 

however, administrative searches may take place without a room’s 

occupant(s) being present. At the conclusion of a search the student will 



be notified of the outcome and the names and titles of all persons conducting 

the search. Administrative searches are not done in conjunction 

with nor under the direction or on behalf of the Emory University Police. 

Administrative searches are not generally conducted for the purpose of 

criminal prosecution. If it is believed that potential criminal violations exist, 

either before or during a search, the Emory University Police will be contacted 

and a criminal search warrant may be obtained. 

B. Facility Work: to provide custodial and/or maintenance work. 

C. Inventory and Courtesy Checks: to conduct an inventory of University 

property. 

D. Personal Emergencies: to respond to an indication of danger to life, health, 

or property. 

E. Policy Violation: to respond when there is reasonable cause to believe that a 

violation of University or Housing policy is occurring. 

Room Usage 

Any resident who occupies a room with a vacancy must be prepared to receive 

a roommate at any time during the academic year. Inappropriate use of vacant 

space will be addressed by the Residence Life staff. Attempts to maintain or 

create a vacancy in a room or apartment by discouraging new residents from 

moving in, or encouraging current residents to move out will not be tolerated. 

Such violations of residence hall policy will be addressed by the appropriate area 

director. Residence Life & Housing reserves the right to place any resident in 

any unassigned bed at any time. 

Safety and Security 

Students are expected to take an active role in maintaining safety and security 

on campus. Failure to do so jeopardizes the safety of everyone concerned. 

Therefore, the following practices must be observed: 

A. objects may not be dropped or thrown from windows nor may screens or 

windows be removed; 

B. students are not permitted on roofs, banisters, or on any other structure that 

is not designed for common traffic; 

C. only designated entrance/exit doors are to be used; 

D. doors are to be returned to a secured (locked) position after use; 

E. windows and doors should always be locked when students leave their 

rooms or when asleep; 

F. students must carry their EmoryCard and keys at all times; 

G. University-owned keys are never to be loaned out or duplicated; 

H. anyone or anything that appear suspicious should be reported to the Emory 

University Police immediately; and 

I. students should always use caution when traveling on or around campus, 

especially after dark. Call EPD for an escort at 404.727.PARK. 


139


Smoking 

As of summer 2005, smoking is prohibited in all residential housing facilities, 

including all living areas, common area spaces, hallways, lounges, lobbies, stairwells, 

laundries, vending areas, balconies, breezeways, connectors, courtyards, 

and porches. Smokers are expected to smoke outside only and remain at a reasonable 

distance (at least 25 feet) from building entrances while smoking, such 

that second-hand smoke does not interfere with access or the rights of others. 

All smoking materials should be disposed of appropriately in provided 

containers. 

Solicitation 

Groups who wish to sell tickets or goods must receive prior approval from the 

Office of Residence Life. Approved solicitation usually is limited to an area in 

the lobby of the residence hall and requires a written notice verifying permission 

from the Office of Residence Life. Students and student groups are not exempt 

from this policy. No commercial business (including regular day care and 

Internet sales) may be conducted on the premises. If you encounter persons soliciting 

in your hall, please report them to a RA or the Emory Police immediately. 

Residence Life reserves the sole right to approve or deny any collection boxes for 

philanthropic activities. Any unapproved boxes will be removed and their contents 

will be discarded. 

Sports and Games 

Sports in the residence halls are prohibited due to the potential danger to individuals 

and property, including safety equipment, such as sprinklers or fire 

extinguishers. 

Stairways, Hallways, and Breezeways 

For reasons of fire safety and security, stairways and common hallways must be 

kept free of combustible items and all other objects that would contribute to the 

intensity of a fire or prevent free and clear access to or egress from the apartments. 

This includes plants, boxes, bicycles, shelves, toys, and other items. Do 

not use stairwells or hallways for storage of any kind. Nonflammable door decorations 

are permitted; however, holiday lights are not permitted on the exteriors 

of doors. 

Theft/Loss 

The University does not assume any responsibility for articles lost or stolen from 

rooms. Residents need to take precautions to ensure, to the best of their ability, 

that theft does not occur. The University cannot assume responsibility for 

personal property stored in, delivered or shipped to a residence hall. Report any 

theft or loss to your RA, RHD, and to the Emory Police. Remember to inquire 

about homeowners’ insurance coverage or obtain renter’s insurance for your 

property. 



Trash and Recycling 

Improperly disposed of trash is a nuisance for other residents and custodial staff. 

All trash and recycling materials should be disposed of in properly marked containers. 

Residents should dispose of their trash and recycling on a regular basis 

to avoid creating a health hazard. Large items (such as boxes, rugs, or other 

heavy/bulky items) should be removed to the exterior dumpsters located near 

each residential facility. 

Vacating Residence Halls 

Residents must vacate their residence hall room according to the posted schedule; 

it is expected that students vacate no later than twenty-four hours after their 

last final exam. At least a $50 fine will be assessed to residents not checked out 

by the posted time and date. Please contact your RHD if you have questions 

about vacating your room. 

Vandalism and Pranks 

Residents should take proper care of their building and its furnishings. 

Vandalism will bring strong disciplinary action. Students witnessing an act of 

vandalism or who know the identity of the responsible person(s) should notify 

a Residence Life staff member immediately. The University reserves the right 

to assess residents collectively or individually for damage to their building or 

its furnishings. Pranks that result in disturbances or distress to others, or cause 

damage to University or personal property (or those that foreseeably could have 

caused such disturbance or distress) are prohibited. Examples include water 

fights, shaving cream fights, penny locking, removal of peepholes, etc. 

Visitation and Guests 

Visitors must abide by the rules and regulations of the University. You are 

responsible for the conduct of your visitors. Visitation refers to the privilege of 

having visitors to your room and residential area. The rights of other residents, 

especially your roommate, take precedence over this privilege. Visitors are not 

permitted to take up residence in rooms to which they are not assigned. Students 

must exercise good judgment when having a gathering in their room to not disrupt 

the community. The residence hall staff reserves the right to intervene. 

A visitor is defined as any person not assigned to live in a given room and/or 

residential area, whether they are residential students, commuting students, or 

other guests. Each residential area has a standard twenty-four hour visitation 

policy, meaning that with roommate consent, a resident may have other persons 

in their room at any time. Long-term visitors (three nights or longer) are prohibited. 

Residents of a floor may vote to establish restrictive visitation hours with a 

majority vote by the floor. 

Waterbeds 

Waterbeds are prohibited in all University Housing. 


141


SEXUAL MISCONDUCT 

The tenets of Emory University’s Undergraduate Code of Conduct (honor, 

responsibility, trustworthiness, and respect) are essential components of healthy 

interpersonal relationships. When relationships become intimate, these principles 

become paramount. Sexual intimacy requires mutual participation in an environment 

of affirmative consent. Sexual misconduct against anyone by anyone, male 

or female (whether acquaintance or stranger), is unacceptable. Emory University 

will not tolerate sexual misconduct in its community. 

Emory University has developed this policy based on five fundamental principles: 

• Members of the University community are expected to maintain ethical 

standards of trustworthiness and respect for others. 

• Sexual misconduct encompasses a range of behaviors, from inappropriate 

touching to rape. 

• The use of alcohol and/or other drugs may blur the distinction between 

consent and manipulation. 

• Real or perceived power differentials between individuals may create an 

unintentional atmosphere of coercion. 

• Educational and preventative measures are necessary components of the 

University’s commitment to reduce sexual misconduct in its community 

The University will take seriously every complaint of sexual misconduct reported 

to the Office of Student Conduct. A careful and thorough investigation will be 

conducted to ensure that all parties involved receive appropriate support and fair 

treatment. 

Sexual misconduct defined: Sexual misconduct is defined as any act of a sexual 

nature perpetrated against an individual without consent or when an individual 

is unable to give consent. Sexual misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the 

unwanted touching or attempted touching of a person’s breasts/chest, buttocks, 

inner thighs, groin, or genitalia, either directly or indirectly; and/or rape, forcible 

sodomy, or sexual penetration (however slight) of another person’s oral, anal or 

genital opening with any object. Sexual misconduct also includes sexual exploitation, 

defined as taking non-consensual, unjust sexual advantage of another 

for one’s benefit or the benefit of another party. These acts may or may not be 

accompanied by the use of coercion, intimidation, or advantage gained by the 

use of alcohol and/or other drugs. 

Consent defined: Because sexual misconduct is defined as sexual activity that is 

undertaken without consent, it is imperative that each participant obtains and 

gives consent to each instance of sexual activity. Consent is an affirmative decision 

to engage in mutually acceptable sexual activity, and consent is given by 

clear actions or words. It is an informed decision made freely and actively by 

all parties. Consent may not be inferred from silence, passivity, or lack of active 

resistance alone. Furthermore, a current or previous dating or sexual relationship 

is not sufficient to constitute consent, and consent to one form of sexual activity 



does not imply consent to other forms of sexual activity. Being intoxicated does 

not diminish one’s responsibility to obtain consent. 

Conduct will be considered “without consent” if no clear consent, verbal or 

nonverbal, is given. In some situations an individual’s consent to sexual activity 

may be invalidated because of circumstances or the behavior of another. 

Examples of such situations include, but are not limited to, incompetence, 

impairment from alcohol and/or other drugs, fear, unconsciousness, intimidation, 

coercion, confinement, isolation, or mental or physical impairment. 

Incompetence results when an individual is at a level of impairment such that 

she/he cannot appreciate the nature of giving consent to participate in sexual 

activity. 

The use of alcohol and/or other drugs: The use of alcohol and/or other drugs 

can have unintended consequences. Alcohol or other drugs can lower inhibitions 

and create an atmosphere of confusion over whether consent is freely and 

validly given. The perspective of a reasonable person will be the basis for determining 

whether one should have known about the impact of the use of alcohol 

and/or drugs on another’s ability to give consent. Being intoxicated or high is 

never an excuse for sexual misconduct. 

Any person wishing to report a possible violation of this policy may 

contact Public Safety (404.727.6111); a University Housing staff member 

(404.727.4359); a Campus Life staff member (404.727.4364); or the office of 

the dean of any school or college of the University. Mental health/medical assistance 

is available from the Counseling Center (404.727.7450), Student Health 

(404.727.7551), and the DeKalb Rape Crisis Center (404.377.1428). 

INVOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES 

Emory University considers the safety and welfare of its students, faculty, and 

staff a top priority. When a student engages in behavior that violates Emory’s 

rules of conduct, the behavior will be addressed as a disciplinary matter under 

the applicable Student Conduct Code. The Student Conduct Code defines prohibited 

conduct and outlines a process for conducting disciplinary proceedings. 

This Involuntary Withdrawal Policy and Procedure is not a disciplinary 

code, policy, or process. It is not intended to apply to situations in which a 

student engages in behavior that violates the University’s rules of conduct. It is 

intended to apply when a student’s observed conduct, actions, and/or statements 

indicate a direct threat to the student’s own health and/or safety, or a direct 

threat to the health and/or safety of others. There may be situations in which 

both this Involuntary Withdrawal Policy and the Student Conduct Code may 

apply. In all cases, the dean of the student’s school or college shall have final 

authority regarding the decision, enactment, enforcement, and management of 

the involuntary withdrawal of a student. 


143


Criteria 

A student may be withdrawn involuntarily from Emory if the University determines 

that the student represents a direct threat to the health and safety of himself/herself 

or others by (1) engaging or threatening to engage in behavior which 

poses a high probability of substantial harm to himself/herself or others; or (2) 

engaging or threatening to engage in behavior which would cause significant 

property damage, would directly and substantially impede the lawful activities of 

others, or would interfere with the educational process and the orderly operation 

of the University. 

Procedure 

When the senior associate dean of Undergraduate Education, or his/her designee, 

based on a student’s conduct, actions, or statements, has reasonable cause to 

believe that the student meets one or more of the criteria for involuntary withdrawal, 

he or she may initiate an assessment of the student’s ability safely to participate 

in the University’s program. 

The senior associate dean initiates this assessment by first meeting with the 

student to (1) review available information concerning the behavior and/or incidents 

which have caused concern, (2) provide the student with a copy of this 

Involuntary Withdrawal Policy and Procedure and discuss its contents with the 

student, (3) provide the student an opportunity to explain his/her behavior, and 

(4) discuss options available to the student, including counseling, voluntary withdrawal 

and evaluation for involuntary withdrawal. If the student agrees to withdraw 

voluntarily from the University and waives any right to any further procedures 

available under this policy, the student will be given a grade of W for all 

courses, will be advised in writing of any conditions that must be satisfied prior 

to re-enrollment, and may be referred for appropriate mental health or other 

health services. If the student refuses to withdraw voluntarily from the University, 

and the senior associate dean continues to have reasonable cause to believe the 

student meets one or more of the criteria for involuntary withdrawal, the senior 

associate dean may require the student to be evaluated by an appropriate mental 

health professional. 

Evaluation 

The senior associate dean may refer the student for a mandatory evaluation by 

an appropriate mental health professional or other appropriate professional. The 

professional may be selected by the University, so long as there is no cost to the 

student for the evaluation. A written copy of the involuntary referral shall be 

provided to the student. 

The evaluation must be completed within five school days after the date the 

referral letter is provided to the student. Prior to the evaluation, the student will 

be required to sign a written authorization authorizing the exchange of relevant 

information among the mental health professional(s) (or other professional) 

and the University. Upon completion of the evaluation, copies of the evaluation 



report will be provided to the senior associate dean and the student. 

The professional making the evaluation shall make an individualized and 

objective assessment of the student’s ability safely to participate in Emory’s 

program, based on a reasonable professional judgment relying on the most current 

professional knowledge and/or the best available objective evidence. This 

assessment shall include a determination of the nature, duration, and severity of 

the risk posed by the student to the health or safety of himself/herself or others; 

the probability that the potentially threatening injury will actually occur; and 

whether reasonable modifications of policies, practices, or procedures will sufficiently 

mitigate the risk. The professional will, with appropriate authorization, 

share his/her recommendation with the senior associate dean, who will take this 

recommendation into consideration in determining whether the student should 

be involuntarily withdrawn from Emory. A copy of the professional’s recommendation 

will be provided to the student, unless, in the opinion of the professional, 

it would be damaging to the student to do so. 

If the evaluation results in a determination that the student’s continued 

attendance presents no significant risk to the health or safety of the student or 

others, and no significant threat to property, to the lawful activities of others, or 

to the educational processes and orderly operations of the University, no further 

action shall be taken to withdraw the student from the University. 

If the evaluation results in a determination that the continued attendance 

of the student presents a significant risk to the health or safety of the student or 

others, such that there is a high probability of substantial harm, or a significant 

threat to property, to the lawful activities of others, or to the educational processes 

and orderly operations of the University, the student may be involuntarily 

withdrawn from the University. In such an event, the student shall be informed 

in writing by the senior associate dean of the involuntary withdrawal, of his/her 

right to an informal hearing, of his/her right to appeal the decision of the hearing 

officer, and of any conditions necessary for re-enrollment. In most cases, a 

student who is involuntarily withdrawn will be given a grade of W in all courses 

in which the student is currently enrolled. 

Informal Hearing 

A student who has been involuntarily withdrawn may request an informal hearing 

before a hearing officer appointed by the senior associate dean by submitting 

a written request to be heard within two business days from receipt of the notice 

of involuntary withdrawal. A hearing will be set as soon as possible. The student 

shall remain involuntarily suspended pending completion of the hearing. 

The hearing shall be informal and non-adversarial. During the hearing, the 

student may present relevant information and may be advised by an Emory faculty 

or staff member or a health professional of his/her choice. The role of the 

advisor is limited to providing advice to the student. 

At the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer shall decide whether to 

uphold the involuntary withdrawal or whether to reconsider, and the student 


145


shall be provided written notice of the hearing officer’s decision as soon as 

possible. 

Appeal to the Dean 

The student may appeal the hearing officer’s decision to the dean, who shall 

review all information presented and make a final decision as to whether or not 

to uphold the involuntary withdrawal. 

Emergency Suspension 

The University may take emergency action to suspend a student pending a final 

decision on whether the student will be involuntarily withdrawn, in situations 

in which (a) there is imminent danger of serious physical harm to the student 

or others, (b) there is imminent danger of significant property damage, (c) the 

student is unable or unwilling to meet with the senior associate dean, (d) the 

student refuses to complete the mandatory evaluation, or (e) the senior associate 

dean determines such other exceptional circumstances exist that suspension 

is warranted. In the event emergency action is taken to suspend the student on 

an interim basis, the student shall be given notice of the emergency suspension 

and an initial opportunity to address the circumstances on which the emergency 

suspension is based. 

Conditions for Re-enrollment 

Because this Involuntary Withdrawal Policy applies to cases in which there is a 

concern about the safety of the student or others, the dean or his/her designee 

may require a student who has been involuntarily withdrawn under this Policy 

to be re-evaluated before he/she is readmitted in order to assure that he/she presents 

no direct threat to himself/herself or others. 

CAMPUS LIFE STUDENT ORGANIZATION SPEAKERS POLICY 

Approved March 7, 1995 

Emory University, as a staunch upholder of academic freedom, supports and 

encourages the exchange of ideas within the University community, including 

ideas that may be unpopular or controversial. At the same time, the University 

encourages civility and has the obligation to address issues of safety and disruptive 

conduct. 

Because student-sponsored speaker events* are the shared responsibility of 

the University and the inviting student organization, the University will make 

every effort to meet reasonable needs for security and facilities. The inviting 

student organization has the obligation to advise the Emory Police Department 

of any security or safety issues it anticipates at the speaker event. In such cases, 

notice must be provided to the Emory Police Department as soon as possible, 

but no less than one week in advance of the event. 

The University is committed to providing a forum for divergent points of 



view at speaker events but is obligated to address issues of campus safety. The 

University president, or his/her designee(s), reserve(s) the right to modify the 

circumstances or withdraw the invitation to speak in those cases where he/she 

foresees a reasonable risk of violence or substantial disruption of the operation 

of the University. 

* A student-sponsored event is any event at which a student organization chartered 

by the Student Government Association or any other student-controlled 

group invites a speaker who is not a member of the University to speak on the 

property of the University. 

Campus Life Student Organization Speakers Policy Guidelines 

On many occasions, inviting members of the general public to a program 

involving an invited speaker is beneficial for the entire Emory community. 

(“General public” is defined as people who do not attend or are not employed 

by Emory University.) We would like you to consider the following as you plan 

your program: 

A. Whom will you invite? 

B. Is there likely to be considerable interest from the general public? 

C. How will the invitation, poster, Wheel advertisement, etc., specify who 

is and who is not invited? Remember that any form of announcement 

you make is subject to rapid dissemination via email. Some groups or 

individuals may be opposed to your speaker or his/her topic and may 

attend even if uninvited. 

D. How will you accommodate uninvited guests? 

1. How will the Emory Police Department be asked to assist? (They 

should be contacted early in the process of planning any event 

likely to prove controversial.) 

2. How will the organization leadership respond to uninvited guests 

or hecklers? 

3. If you anticipate a large public interest, how will you manage a 

fair and efficient system of ticket distribution? 

E. How, for the purposes of safety and visibility of all guests, will you 

handle use of placards, posters, banners, etc? For example, will you ask 

guests to leave them outside, place them at the back of the room, or put 

them on the floor during the presentation? 

F. How will you make it clear that your program is principally for the 

Emory community and is likely to be paid for from student activity 

fees? The primary purpose of the occasion should be its educational 

value to this community. 

What If the Speaker or Topic Is Controversial? 

The University places a very high value on freedom of speech and on the opportunity 

for intellectual stimulation that can be a product of controversial content. 


147


The University also recognizes its responsibility to care about the well being of 

the entire Emory community. If you are bringing a speaker who may be controversial, 

please consider the following: 

A. Make contact with the Unity Task Force Executive Board, National 

Coalition Building Institute (NCBI), or the Center for Ethics to let them 

know that the speaker with whom you are contracting may be controversial. 

The Office of Student Activities can assist you in getting in 

touch with these organizations. 

B. Work closely with your organizational adviser, the Office of Student 

Activities or the Office of Multicultural Programs and Services to seek 

guidance on managing your program. 

C. If you are not sure if your program will be controversial, discuss it with 

one of the above-mentioned staff for advice. 

D. Consider announcing the format for the program prior to the speaker 

introduction. Tell the audience what they can expect, such as how questions 

will be handled and if follow-up questions will be allowed. 

E. Will you make explicit your expectations about the kind of behavior 

appropriate to the occasion? 

Issues of Student Conduct 

If you would like to read a statement about civility at the occasion, the Office of 

Student Activities and the Office of Multicultural Programs and Services would 

be happy to assist you in drafting one specifically for your program. Here is an 

example of such a statement: 

Emory University is committed to creating public spaces and campus conversations 

within the University where we can talk with passion, but with 

a serious effort to understand one another, our commonalties, and our differences 

on issues that affect the common good on this campus and in the 

larger society. We invite you to learn the discipline of civil conversation. 

Civility calls us to move beyond caricatures, stereotypes, and demonization 

of those with whom we differ. Civility calls us to be respectful of other opinions, 

viewpoints, and beliefs. I would now like to present our guest speaker. 

The Undergraduate Code of Conduct calls upon students to demonstrate respect, 

consideration for others, and accountability for the safety and well-being of 

themselves and others. Actions such as interfering with University-sponsored 

activities and behaving in an indecent or disorderly manner could constitute violations 

of the Code and result in sanctions. 

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES FOR EMPLOYEE AND STUDENT COMPLAINTS OF 

DISCRIMINATION 

I. INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT 

1. Each member of the faculty, staff or student body of Emory University 



is free to seek answers to any question and to seek adjustment of any 

grievance arising out of alleged discrimination on the basis of race, 

color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability 

or veteran/Reserve/National Guard status without being restrained or 

subjected to interference, coercion, or reprisal because of, or as a result 

of, having filed a grievance or having made an inquiry or allegation of 

discrimination. 

2. Supervisors, faculty, and administrative officials are expected to see that 

allegations of discrimination receive prompt, impartial, and sympathetic 

treatment and that the person or persons making the allegation(s) are 

not restrained or subjected to interference, coercion, or reprisal because 

of, or as a result of, having made allegations(s) of discrimination. 

3. Any person having a grievance relating to pre-employment, employment, 

or post-employment matters at Emory University and any 

applicant for student status, any presently enrolled student, or former 

student having a grievance relating to his or her status as a student of 

Emory University may initially inform the Office of Equal Opportunity 

Programs of the nature of the complaint for the purpose of discussing 

the availability of, and the meaning of, the grievance procedure or, in 

the case of students, may also discuss the matter with the senior vice 

president and dean for Campus Life or the dean of the college in which 

the student is enrolled. 

4. Any person having a grievance relating to prohibited discrimination may 

use either of the procedures set out below for resolution. Conventional 

complaints, not involving illegal discrimination, filed by employees will 

be dealt with under existing procedures for conventional grievances and 

not under these procedures. Grievants for the purpose of these procedures 

shall include all employees and students of the University whether 

full-time or part-time. In addition to all current employees, applicants 

and former employees who believe that employment decisions have been 

made adversely to them on the basis of prohibited discriminatory criteria 

shall also have access to these procedures. 

5. The University respects the individual’s right to choose one of the procedures 

set forth below. In addition, if a grievant elects to file an administrative 

charge with a governmental agency or file a lawsuit regarding the 

same matter that is the subject of his or her grievance, the University, 

after conferring with the grievant and respondent(s) if any, will make a 

decision as to whether to: (a) continue with the handling of this grievance 

process separately from the University’s participation in the ongoing 

external process; (b) coordinate handling of this grievance process 

with the University’s participation in the ongoing external process; or

6. Complaints of discrimination that allege discriminatory harassment 

will be handled in accordance with the attached Policy Statement on 

Discriminatory Harassment and Formal Procedures for Handling 

Complaints of Discriminatory Harassment. 

II. REGULAR PROCEDURE 

The employee grievant is encouraged to discuss the matter with his or her 

immediate supervisor and/or his or her department head (“respondent”) and the 

student grievant is urged to discuss the matter with the academic or administrative 

staff involved (“respondent”) or such respondent’s supervisor. If this does 

not produce a satisfactory resolution, the employee grievant is free to discuss 

the matter with an employee adviser in the Employee Relations department of 

Human Resources or, in the case of students, the designated staff member in 

Campus Life who will attempt to mediate any difference that cannot be resolved 

between the grievant and respondent. The employee or student grievant may 

at any time discuss the matter with the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs, 

which will attempt to mediate an appropriate resolution between the affected 

parties. 

The grievant may, at any time during the utilization of the informal procedure, 

move into the formal procedure without prejudice to his or her rights. 

III. FORMAL PROCEDURE 

A. General 

All references to president, vice president for Equal Opportunity Programs 

and other specific University officials include his/her designee. 

Where a grievant desires to make a formal internal grievance complaint, 

the grievant will inform the vice president for Equal Opportunity Programs 

of the facts constituting the basis of the grievant’s complaint. Initially, the 

complaint may be oral or written and shall be made within 180 days of the 

occurrence giving rise to the grievance; otherwise, the complaint will not be 

received. All formal oral grievances will be reduced to a written summary by 

the complainant or the vice president for Equal Opportunity Programs. All 

formal complaints will be signed by the grievant to initiate the formal procedure. 

The grievant may have a lay advocate of his or her own choosing, 

other than an attorney, present at any time during the formal procedure. 

Upon receipt of a formal complaint, the Office of Equal Opportunity 

Programs will investigate the circumstances involved in the allegations and 

render a decision as to whether the facts support the allegations. Should the 

facts not support the allegations, the complaint will be dismissed. Should 

the facts support the allegations, the vice president for Equal Opportunity 

Programs will oversee the implementation of an appropriate resolution. 

In light of the facts appearing, the vice president for Equal Opportunity 

Programs may mediate the matter in an attempt to achieve a remedy that is 

satisfactory to both the grievant and the respondent. Although it is expected 



that this process will take no more than thirty calendar days from the filing 

of the complaint, the lack of availability of witnesses, participants in the 

process, pertinent documents, or similar reasons may necessitate extending 

this time limit up to ninety days, and this period may be further extended 

with the consent of the grievant and the respondent. 

Where the vice president for Equal Opportunity Programs has determined 

that the facts support the allegations, but no resolution has been 

agreed to, the respondent, the grievant or the vice president for Equal 

Opportunity Programs may request the President of the University to convene 

the Appeal Panel, as hereinafter defined. The panel will be formed not 

more than fifteen days after receipt by the president of a request for convening 

the Appeal Panel. 

B. The Panel 

The Appeal Panel is to be composed of five persons selected from those eligible 

to serve in accordance with the following procedure: 

Persons eligible to serve: 

Members of the University Equal Opportunity Advisory Committee, 

the Affirmative Action Committees of the schools and divisions of the 

University, elected members of the University Senate, members of the 

Employee Council, and Principal Administrative Officers of the University 

are eligible to serve except the deans of the schools, vice presidents of the 

University, the Vice President for Equal Opportunity Programs and the 

Vice President for Human Resources. In cases where students are involved, 

students will be eligible to serve. In addition, persons on the list provided 

by the Vice President for Equal Opportunity Programs in accordance with 

Section 2 below shall be eligible to serve. 

Selection of panel members from those eligible to serve: 

Two members shall be appointed by the President; two members shall 

be appointed by the grievant; and one member shall be selected by agreement 

of the other four panel members. If the four panel members are unable 

to agree on a fifth member, the chairperson of the University Senate shall 

appoint a fifth member. This member shall serve as chairperson of the panel. 

The grievant and the President must select members from those identified 

as eligible to serve except if the grievant is not satisfied that those available 

for his or her selection are able to hear the complaint without prejudice. In 

such case, he or she shall inform the Vice President for Equal Opportunity 

Programs of the nature of his or her dissatisfaction and may request a 

list of alternative names to be supplied by the Vice President for Equal 

Opportunity Programs from which selection shall be made. Only one such 

alternate list shall be supplied. The decision of the Vice President for Equal 

Opportunity Programs as to the composition of the list shall be final. 

All members eligible to serve may be excused from service in only the 

following circumstances: 


151


a. Either the president or the grievant may request removal of any panel 

member otherwise qualified on the grounds that the panel member is 

familiar with the case or knows any of the parties involved personally 

and may have formed an opinion on the merits of the case. In the event 

of successful challenge by either side (determined as hereinafter provided), 

substitution will be made with appropriate party. 

b. Any panel member may excuse him/herself from participation after 

selection is made on the following grounds: illness, unavoidable family 

or work commitments, familiarity with the case or with the parties 

involved, or previous service on a panel within one calendar year. 

The vice president for Equal Opportunity Programs will determine 

the validity for any challenge or excuse. Pursuant to the University commitment 

to affirmative action and equal opportunity, time away from 

primary responsibilities will be provided to all panelists in order to 

allow service on the panel. 

C. Panel Procedures 

The Appeal Panel will establish its own procedures for the conduct of the 

hearing. 

The Appeal Panel chairperson shall convene the panel within ten days 

of appointment and the panel will determine which witnesses to hear and 

what evidence it will consider from that which is presented by the grievant, 

the respondent, the vice president for Equal Opportunity Programs, and 

any other party to whom the Appeal Panel gives its permission, by majority 

vote, to participate. The hearing shall be held within a reasonable time and 

shall be closed. At the hearing, either party may have present any lay advocate 

the party may select other than an attorney. The advocate will be present 

for the purpose of advising the grievant but will not participate in the 

proceedings. The University will provide the grievant with reasonable access 

to the University records pertinent to the allegations made, consistent with 

applicable law. The reasonableness and pertinence of the request for records 

will be determined by the University administration. 

Within ten days of the hearing the Appeal Panel will issue written findings 

of facts and recommendations to the president of the University or 

designee. 

D. Final Determination 

1. The president may request further investigation and clarification from 

the Appeal Panel or the vice president for Equal Opportunity Programs 

or any third party deemed appropriate by the president prior to determining 

the appropriate remedy. The final decision will be communicated 

to the Appeal Panel and interested parties within thirty days of 

receipt of the findings of the Appeal Panel. 

2. At no time shall resorting to this procedure be construed to prohibit the 



grievant from opting to abandon his or her formal grievance in favor of 

handling the grievance under the informal procedure. 

DRUG POLICY 

The use, possession, sale, or distribution of paraphernalia (e.g, bongs, pipes), 

narcotics, or illegal drugs (e.g., marijuana, LSD, cocaine) is strictly prohibited 

on the campus and in the residence halls of Emory University. The unauthorized 

use, possession, sale, or distribution of prescription drugs (e.g., amphetamines, 

barbiturates, and tranquilizers) is also strictly prohibited. 

These substances pose physical dangers to students and will not be tolerated. 

Students who possess or distribute controlled substances or paraphernalia 

will be referred to campus, state, and/or federal authorities. 

All students are also required to abide by the University’s Drug and Alcohol 

Abuse Policy, which sets forth faculty, staff, and student responsibilities regarding 

drug and alcohol abuse. This policy is distributed to students on an annual 

basis. 

FIREARMS POLICY 

Possession on campus or institutional property of any firearms or incendiary 

or explosive devices is not permitted, except by persons authorized by the 

University.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY POLICIES AND GUIDELINES 

The following summary presents a broad overview of policies and guidelines for 

use of electronic systems at Emory. If you are a system administrator or if you 


153


have access to University data outside your personal account, additional policies 

apply. In addition, you are responsible for complying with any additional policies 

in your school. AAIT strongly urges all users to view the full text of these 

policies and guidelines at it.emory.edu/policies. 

Information Technology Use Policy 

You may not use computers or electronic systems for any use that would: 

• impede teaching and research, 

• hinder the functioning of the University, 

• violate an applicable license or contract, 

• damage community relations or relations with institutions with whom 

we share responsibility. 

Also: 

• do not send chain letters, 

• do not send the same message to a large number of electronic mailing 

lists, news groups, or conferences, 

• do not send a message to an electronic mailing list, news group, or 

conference that is not related to the topic or purpose of the list, news 

group, or conference. 

In addition, students may not use the Emory network to provide Internet access 

or computer logon accounts to anyone outside the Emory community. 

Violation of this policy may result in suspension of privileges to access the 

information technology involved, initiation of University disciplinary procedures, 

or in extreme cases, prosecution under federal or state law. 

Policy on Copying and Using Computer Software 

Emory University licenses the use of its computer software from a variety 

of outside companies. Emory University does not own this software or its related 

documentation and, unless authorized by the software developer, 

neither the University nor its employees and students have the right to 

reproduce it. 

Emory University employees and students learning of any misuse of software 

or related documentation within the University shall notify their supervisor or, 

in the case of students, the appropriate faculty member or University official. 

Copyright violation is subject to disciplinary action by the University and/or civil 

or criminal liability. 

Information Access Policy 

Employees, contract employees, students, or other agents who as either data providers 

or data users intentionally and without proper authorization (1) access or 

disclose confidential University information, or (2) modify or destroy University 

information are in direct violation of the Emory University Information Access 

Policy. Such violations may lead to disciplinary action by the University up to 



and including dismissal from the University. Under certain circumstances, such 

violations may give rise to civil and/or criminal liability. This policy applies to 

information kept on mainframes, servers, or personal workstations. 

Ethical Use of Electronic Systems 

Passwords 

Users should not disclose their passwords to anyone else, nor should they 

use someone else’s password. Users are responsible for all activity in their 

account. Users should not attempt to circumvent passwords, access codes, or 

information protection schemes or uncover security loopholes or attempt to 

break authentication procedures or encryption protocols. 

Anonymous Activity 

Users may not impersonate other individuals in electronic communication 

or knowingly use an invalid electronic ID such as an invalid electronic mail 

return address. 

Illegal Activity 

Users should not use electronic systems in the course of any illegal activity. 

Users should be aware of computer activities that are illegal under Georgia 

law. 

Communication Tampering 

It is unethical and may be criminal to attempt to monitor other people’s 

communications without their permission. ResNet services and wiring may 

not be extended or retransmitted. 

Copying and Copyrights 

For information to which the individual or the University does not hold the 

copyright, written permission from the copyright holder is required prior to 

duplication. Academic dishonesty or plagiarism in a student assignment is 

unethical. Suspected occurrences are referred to the Honor Council of the 

student’s school or college. 

Harassment 

Electronic system usage or information that is perceived by its recipient as 

sexual or discriminatory harassment as defined by University policy may 

be considered a violation. The display of offensive material in any publicly 

accessible area is likely to violate University harassment policy. Public display 

includes publicly accessible computer screens and printers. 

Wasting Resources 

It is unethical to deliberately perform any act which will impair the operation of 

any electronic system or deny access by legitimate users to any electronic system. 


155


This includes the willful wasting of resources and sending of “junk mail” and 

“mail bombs.” Users must abide by resource guidelines and take action to be in 

compliance when asked to do so. 

A. It is unethical to use electronic systems for: 

1. solicitation not related to official University business, or 

2. commercial gain or placing a third party in a position of 

commercial advantage. 

B. General University policy prohibits non-University use of University 

facilities.
