Academic life at Springfield College is governed by a series of policies and regulations that ensure consistency and permit fairness to all students. These policies are under the auspices of the Office of Academic Affairs and are managed by the Office of the Registrar. Questions regarding an academic policy should be directed to the Office of the Registrar. The Office of the Registrar is located on the First Floor in the Administration Building and is also responsible for preparing class schedules and room assignments, assisting in the student enrollment process, compiling and maintaining grade reports and records, maintaining and issuing student transcripts, and certifying and/or verifying both enrollment and degree statuses for various stakeholders.
Academic policies and course descriptions are subject to change and enrolled students are bound by the language within the current academic year’s catalog. As such, students should always review this language within the most current catalog so they are making decisions and/or taking actions from up-to-date information.
Separately, students are bound to the degree requirements listed within the catalog from the year in which they entered the College for the duration of their program. Students who did not enter the College this academic year can use the online repository of Springfield College Catalogs to review their degree requirements in the appropriate catalog.
