The content of this document is provided for the information of the student.

Any such changes may be implemented without prior notice, without obligation, and, unless specified, are effective when made.

All students are reminded to read carefully the sections of the catalogue pertaining to them. Lack of awareness of policies or requirements will not serve as a justifiable excuse at a later date.

Edgewood College’s liability to any student for any reason and upon any cause of action related to the statements made in this catalogue of the policies or procedures set forth herein, shall be limited to the amount of tuition actually paid to Edgewood College by the student making the claim in the year which any action giving rise to the claim occurs.

The State of Wisconsin passed the Wisconsin Caregiver Background Check Law in 1998. This law requires a criminal background check on all people who are involved in the care of certain vulnerable groups, i.e., children, the elderly and other compromised populations. The intent of the law is to protect clients from being harmed. Therefore, Edgewood College requires background checks of employees, volunteers and students in clinical field experience placements. Students should become aware of these practices and confer with their advisors regarding their particular situations.

Edgewood College’s crime statistics report and campus safety policies are available at the Dean of Students Office.

The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act was signed into law November 8, 1990. This federal legislation requires colleges and universities whose students receive federal financial aid to disclose and report graduation/persistence rates for full-time undergraduate students. Edgewood is in compliance with Title I, Sections 103 and 104 of the Student Right to Know Act (P.L. 101-545 as amended by P.L. 102-26); students may obtain information on graduation rates by contacting the college’s Office of Institutional Research.
