Electronic Communications with Students Policy


The online Student Handbook is produced as a resource for the students, faculty, staff, and administration of Dickinson College. Content is subject to change. Please contact the appropriate person or office to obtain the most current information.   

Dickinson College uses electronic mail (e-mail) as one means of conveying official notifications and communications to its students. Each student is provided with a Dickinson e-mail account for this purpose. You are responsible for receiving, reading, responding to, and complying with official e-mail communications from the college and college officials. These include, but are not limited to, communications from the President, Provost and Dean of the College, Vice President for Student Development, Dean of Students, Registrar, Financial Aid, Public Safety and other offices, as well as communications from your professors. If you do not have regular access to   e-mail, you must make arrangements with the college for alternative means of communication. You are also responsible for ensuring that there is enough space in your e-mail accounts to receive messages. For instructions on maintaining and cleaning out Dickinson e-mail accounts, visit the LIS Web site.
