Policies for Residential Students

Students living in the residence halls are expected to know and abide by the college's policies. The College has the authority to periodically update and revise policies. Students will be informed of all changes via College e-mail.

The Compass

The Compass is Cornell College's student policy handbook. Among other things, The Compass outlines residential policies, academic policies, financial policies, and general student policies.  Policies in The Compass apply to all students (residential students, commuters and off-campus students).  You can read The Compass for complete details.

Residency Requirement

While not related to student conduct, another important policy within Residence Life is the student residency requirement.
