Student Handbook 2024-2025

Welcome to the site of UMW’s Student Handbook.

At the University of Mary Washington, education extends beyond the classroom. Our student-centered community encourages intellectual curiosity, fosters creativity, and promotes an inclusive environment that values diversity. As you immerse yourself in this dynamic academic setting, the Student Handbook will provide links to policies, procedures, and resources to support your academic success and personal well-being.

Within these pages, you will find essential information, including specifics on our ASPIRE values, Code of Conduct, Title IX regulations, and the Honor Code, as well as resources to help you make the most of your time at the University. From academic advising and financial aid to student organizations and community engagement opportunities, the Student Handbook provides you with the knowledge and tools to thrive.

All students at the University of Mary Washington are bound by the regulations linked within the Student Handbook. The University reserves the right to make changes at any time to the procedures and regulations contained within the handbook. Substantive changes during the year will be communicated to students via official UMW channels.

We look forward to witnessing your growth, achievements, and contributions to the UMW community.
