Welcome all new and returning students

This on-line handbook is a guide to student life at Carthage. It contains policies which govern the community in which you will be living and working as well as, information about student clubs and organizations. This handbook is a key to an orderly environment in which you can grow and succeed - in mind, body and spirit.

The College years typically provide some of the most vivid memories of our lives. I sincerely hope that the Carthage memories you are making now will enrich and inspire you for many years to come.

Those who participate in diverse activities derive the most from the college experience. The sheer fun and joy of life come from being active and engaged in one's surroundings. While you are at Carthage, I hope you will create many happy memories for yourself and your friends.

Please take a few moments to read through this handbook. Get to know your fellow students through clubs and organizations, and, of course, become familiar with the Community Code. Make Carthage your own.

Cordially,

F. Gregory Campbell President
