2026 – 2027 Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook Page 2 in any program, service, or activity offered by NSU, or if their physical presence is to be permitted on campus or university properties will be referred to the NSU Student Behavioral Concerns Committee for determination as to the student’s participation and progress in a particular program. NSU reserves the right to place conditions upon or require the withdrawal of a student from enrollment, university housing, or participation in any program, service, or activity offered by NSU, and/or to prohibit the student’s physical presence on university campuses and properties when the student’s continuation or presence therein, in the university’s judgment, may compromise to the health or safety of the student or others. Policies and procedures associated with the Student Behavioral Concerns Committee can be found on the NSU Student Conduct website at nova.edu/studentconduct/Student%20Behavioral%20Concerns%20 Committee%20Policies.html. In lieu of, or in addition to, disciplinary action, NSU also reserves the right to impose fines, take legal action, rescind housing privileges, revoke study abroad privileges, withhold student records, revoke other privileges, and impose other measures as it deems appropriate based on the circumstances. Students should also be aware that disciplinary action may impact eligibility for scholarships or other institutional financial aid. Students may also be subject to disciplinary proceedings for acts committed before their admission and/or enrollment at NSU. Reservation of Power NSU’s Student Handbooks and Academic Catalogs are not intended to form a contract or be part of a contractual agreement between NSU and the student, but rather provide guidance for academic and conduct standards and information as to the university policies and procedures. Handbooks and catalogs are deemed in effect upon publishing online and will remain in effect until superseded by either a new handbook/catalog or by a modified version, which is available at nova.edu/student-handbook and at nova.edu/academics/course-catalog.html. From time to time, it may be advisable for the university to alter or amend its procedures, policies, and/or the modality of instruction. NSU reserves the right to make such changes at any time. Reasonable notice may be furnished to the university community of any substantive change but is not required. It is the responsibility of each student to stay informed about any changes by reviewing them as published on the NSU website at https://www.nova.edu/student-affairs/studenthandbooks.html. The most current versions of the NSU Student Handbook and Academic Catalogs are published online and they supersede all previous online or printed versions of handbooks and catalogs. The currently published versions of each will control in the event of any ambiguity or conflicting policy with what may have been stated in an earlier version of the same. University policies are maintained in PolicyStat and will control in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity with policies in this handbook or a catalog. Furthermore, the colleges, schools, departments, and academic programs may establish additional or more restrictive policies consistent with this handbook. Where such policies differ, the policy of the applicable college, school, department, or academic program will control, provided that it does not conflict with any applicable university policy maintained in PolicyStat. Flexibility in Policies University policies are intended to describe some of the expectations of members of the university community, as well as outline the university’s community policies and programs. They are intended to be used as guidelines and do not create an express or implied contract which cannot be changed or modified. Circumstances not specifically addressed in university policies will be handled on a case-by- case basis by the appropriate official selected by the university. As the need may arise, the university reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, modify, revise, supplement, rescind, suspend, terminate, or change its policies, procedures, programs, activities, and services, in whole or in part, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
