September 30, 2022

Dear Students,

As the semester begins, I write to remind you of a few important resources and policies that guide life on campus as you live and work at ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø.
 
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008, which reauthorized the Higher Education Act of 1965, asks ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø to make available to enrolled students a number of consumer notices and disclosures.  These disclosures provide information about some of the College’s policies and practices, including the topics listed below. You may find more information about these notices and disclosures on the College’s Consumer Information webpage at /consumer-information. Hedy Gerace (hgerace@brynmawr.edu) will provide paper copies of a disclosure if requested; you can also print copies from the webpage above.  

• Academics, including information regarding the College’s academic programs, facilities, faculty, accreditation, privacy of student records, transfer of credit policies, study abroad, textbooks, and copyright and file-sharing;
• Tuition, Costs, and Financial Aid, including the cost of attendance, withdrawal and refund policies, financial aid programs (eligibility requirements and criteria, forms, policies, procedures, standards for maintaining aid, disbursements, and repayments), exit counseling information, and financial aid policies;
• Student Life and Campus Safety, including resources for students with disabilities, the diversity of the student body, voter registration, vaccination policy, the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report and our Drug & Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP); and
• Student Success and Outcomes, including retention rates, graduation rates, and the postgraduate placement and education of our graduates.

²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø complies with the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Regulations by notifying annually all community members of the College’s Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP). These policies are contained within the student, faculty, and staff handbooks, respectively, as well as on our Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program (DAAPP) webpage (). The DAAPP includes ²ÝÁñ³ÉÈËÉçÇø’s policies regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs, with which each community member must be familiar and comply.  We have just completed our biennial review, which is also available on the DAAPP website.
 
I hope you find these resources helpful and I look forward to a healthy and safe year.

 With best wishes,

Kim Cassidy
President
