Welcome to the Online Student Handbook

This website contains comprehensive information about campus life, including resources, policies, emergency information, and links to useful publications and websites relating to living in the Tufts community. The material on this site applies to all undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Engineering and the School of Arts & Sciences.

This website has replaced the Pachyderm, which formerly was the print version of Tufts student handbook. We have tried to organize the site in a way that is user friendly. You can find what you are looking for through the top tabs and from the side menus. The site is also fully indexed in alphabetical order, accessible through the tab marked "Index" at the upper right. The site will be a work in progress with continuing updates – we welcome your suggestions for improvements and changes.

Most users will approach the material in this site for reference purposes, which is probably no different than the way the printed handbook was used. But the bottom line is still the same – students will be held responsible for compliance with the policies and regulations that are contained here. Thus, you are strongly urged to look through the topics and make sure you understand our community standards.

The links to other websites and publications contained in this site were checked for being active at the time this site went live in August 2011. Many of the “links” are not maintained by the Dean of Student Affairs Office or by Tufts and so we cannot verify that the material you click to from our website will be up-to-date. When something you are researching is important, please look for a revision date or check with the author to verify that you have current information.
