General Regulations for Students
Health Services
On the Hattiesburg campus, students have access to immediate care clinics and two hospital emergency rooms that extend 24-hour care. The clinics and emergency rooms are provided on a fee-for-service basis.
Medical service for students on the Tradition campus is provided by an arrangement with UrgiCare on a fee-for-service basis.
Information about health insurance is available to students in Hattiesburg in the office of student assistance, and in the administrative dean’s office on the Tradition campus.
Identification Cards
Every student should secure an identification card (ID) from the office of student life on the Hattiesburg campus and the Office of Student Services on the Tradition campus. Students must present their copy of the registration form in order to be issued an ID card. The ID card is the student’s official university identification and should be carried at all times. University officials, including faculty, staff, and security officers may ask students to present a valid WCU student ID at any time. Failure to present one’s ID will result in severe disciplinary action. Full-time students use the card for admission to school-sponsored activities, as a voting permit during student body elections, for securing a copy of the Crusader, and for library privileges. Part-time students have library privileges through the use of their ID card.
Misuse of ID cards subjects the user to disciplinary action.
A fee of $10.00 is charged for the replacement of ID cards. Only one free ID card will be issued to a student during a five year period.
Student life office hours are 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 8:00– 4:30 Friday; 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. the first week of each trimester.
Vehicle Registration
Registration of motor vehicles is a part of the academic registration procedure at the beginning of each year for all students who are permitted to bring cars on the campus. Students who bring unregistered vehicles on campus after any registration period must register them immediately after arrival on the campus. All university employees and students shall register their vehicles and secure a registration decal from the student life office. Failure to register a vehicle, to use the proper decal, or to observe all traffic regulations will constitute a violation and subject the violator to certain penalties.
Campus Safety and Security
Campus security personnel on the Hattiesburg campus are available 24 hours a day. Security personnel at Tradition are located at the campus security station. Any crime or suspicious activity should be reported promptly to campus security: Hattiesburg (601) 318-6300; Tradition (228) 223-1807.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Every student is expected to display proper conduct. Violations of the student code of conduct will be dealt with according to the policies and procedures outlined in The Translation. The university reserves the right to require at any time the withdrawal of a student whose conduct or academic work does not meet university standards. Students have the right to appeal decisions through appropriate channels as outlined in The Translation.
Students With Disabilities
Every reasonable effort will be made to meet the special needs of students who qualify under Section 504 and ADA disability criteria. Eligibility for special accommodations will be available to students who are officially enrolled at William Carey University, who meet all university program requirements, and who meet the definition of disability as defined by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The definition of disability includes any person who “has a physical, emotional, or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of life’ s major activities; has a record of disability, or is regarded as having a disability” (P. L. 101-336).
To obtain service or for more information, contact the office of student support or refer to the policies and procedures outlined in The Translation.
