2024-2025 University Student Handbook

Dear Students,

Thank you for accessing the 2024-2025 Student Handbook. It is important that every student is aware of their resources, rights and responsibilities as a member of our community. In the Student Handbook, you will find extensive resources for your success on campus and tips on how to navigate as a Widener student.

If you are searching for information and cannot find it using the Student Handbook, you can search on the main Widener website – Widener.edu – or feel free to stop by or phone the Student Engagement and Transformation Office in the University Center for information. 

Please accept my best wishes for a successful academic year. Go Pride!

Sincerely,

Fred McCall, PhD

Vice President, Student Engagement and Transformation &

Dean of Students
