Message from the Dean
The mission of the School of Continuing Studies is to serve the educational needs of adults living and working in the greater Richmond community. It is also one of the five academic units that make up the University of Richmond and, as such, it strives to meet the highest academic standards possible. In short, our goal is to offer quality programs and services in ways that acknowledge the unique circumstances and needs of adults.

Because we recognize that you are busy adults trying to juggle your studies with work, family and other demands, we designed this handbook to make you aware of the generous resources the University makes available to all of its students. These services complement our quality educational programs and we encourage you to take advantage of all that is available to you on the campus. Our hope is that this document will provide you with the information that will allow you to be the most effective student you can be.

The faculty, staff, and students of the School of Continuing Studies would like to acknowledge the efforts of Jane Lively in gathering, editing, and writing much of the material contained in this handbook.
