Undergraduate Catalog Disclaimer

The Spring Arbor University catalog contains information about the University and policies relating to the academic requirements and records of each student. Current and future students should refer to the Student Handbook and policy handbooks for the University’s policies and procedures, which cannot be varied by an unauthorized employee of the University, either in writing or by an oral statement. The University reserves the right to change, add, or eliminate any university rule or regulation at any time including those relating to admission, instruction, and graduation. The University also reserves the right to withdraw, change, or add curriculum, cancel courses, alter course content, change the academic calendar, change instructors, and/or to impose, increase, or eliminate fees. All changes are effective at such times as the authorized authority determines and may apply not only to future students but also to those already enrolled in the University. Although the catalog establishes requirements that the student must fulfill to graduate and sets forth certain policies, it is not a comprehensive document of all curriculum and policies and does not serve as contract between the University, student, or anyone else.

Spring Arbor University is a Christian-based educational institution that does consider religion a criterion for various purposes in the administration and maintenance of the Spring Arbor University environment. Spring Arbor University does not exclude otherwise qualified applicants from participation in programs, activities, and/or benefits on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, age, or handicap.
