Student Handbook 2025-2026

The Student Handbook is a compendium of student policies. Each policy is governed by the applicable University office, department or division which has administrative authority over that policy. The policies contained in the Student Handbook may be amended during the course of the academic year, as deemed appropriate. If so, the full and updated policy takes precedence over this Handbook. Please refer to the most current materials and communication from the applicable University office, department or division, and/or the Villanova Policy Library, for any updates, additions or amendments.

Please note that portions of this Handbook use they/them/their as singular pronouns.

For questions regarding the Student Handbook or the Code of Student Conduct, please contact the Dean of Students Office in Dougherty Hall room 213 or at 610-519-4200.
