Dear Denison Student: Welcome to Denison!

I am excited to welcome you to campus.

Over the last nine years, I have fallen deeply in love with Denison. I believe a Denison education will unlock your potential to be the architect of your life. For that to happen, we are going to ask a lot from you, and we will give a lot back in return.

Denison is challenging by design. Our faculty are world class educators who will expect a lot from you, because we know you are smart and capable. We will ask you to be engaged and involved across campus. We will give you incredible opportunities to pursue existing interests, and we will ask you to try new things and develop new passions.

And we will ask you to engage each other. Our students are interesting, motivated, and come from a wide range of backgrounds. Part of the Denison experience is forming friendships and learning from people who see the world differently from you.

The next four years will be filled with experiences, opportunities, friendships, fun and challenges. Our goal is to give you a great four year experience defined by a life shaping liberal arts education that launches you quickly and successfully into your career and life!

Orientation is the start of that process.

As you prepare for orientation, I would offer three pieces of advice: ›

First, take full advantage of the orientation process. Every piece of the process has been carefully developed to help you get off to a great start.

›

Second, challenge yourself. Be willing to get outside your comfort zone. Take a class in an area that is new to you. Live with people who may come from a different background.

›

Third, Denison is defined by relationships. Get to know your professors.

Engage our staff. Form a wide circle of friends. Be open to meeting new people.

I am excited to get to know you and look forward to welcoming you to campus during August Orientation.

Sincerely, Adam S. Weinberg, President

Community Living Residential Communities and Housing commits to creating communities that are inclusive and supportive across students’ four years. From the moment you enroll until your graduation, you are part of Denison’s vibrant residential living program. We will help match you with a roommate, determine your housing assignment, and work closely with you as you transition to Denison and live among your peers and classmates! Residential Communities and Housing supports you in your new home away from home as you build friendships, navigate discomfort, and develop an understanding of the world from various points of view.

| First-Year Notebook

The first step in making Denison home is to apply for housing!

Your Housing Preference Form is part of Phase 3 of the checklist in your Admitted Student Portal, and is due no later than Wednesday, June 15, 2022. This form is located in your MyHousing Portal, which you navigate to via MyDenison (MyDenison > My Apps > MyHousing). Under Applications/Forms, new students will complete the 2026 Housing Preference Form. The Chronic Illness Verification Form is also due on this date, if applicable to you, and is found in your MyWellness Portal.

Contact Student Housing with questions about:

Community Advisors At Denison, we call student leaders living in the halls “Community Advisors.” You will meet your Community Advisor (CA) on Move-In Day, and they will be a part of your August Orientation experience. CAs build community by investing in relationships and leading programs. Your CA will help you troubleshoot concerns and learn about Denison. There are also professional staff members who work with each building and quad to support students and bring resources into the residence halls.

Events and Community CAs organize and promote programs and events that bring people together. When you attend these events, you’ll meet people with shared interests, learn new things, and connect with other members of your community.

Health & Wellness

Hoaglin Wellness Center The Ann & Thomas Hoaglin Wellness Center, opening in August 2022, embodies our vision for wellness—integrating physical health services, mental health services, and wellness education.

The Hoaglin Wellness Center is a hub on campus for wellness opportunities, activities, and conversations, with the goal of helping students to build the habits and skills to manage their wellness during their time at Denison and also in their lives beyond The Hill as well.

Medical Services Our Medical Team consists of physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses who provide Primary Care Services to all enrolled students. Our services include: › Appointments for acute and chronic illness › P reventative health services in the form of physicals (sports, work, school-related, pre-op) › W omen’s Health – including well-woman exams, STD screenings, birth control, and problem visits › Minor surgical procedures › Patient education › F acilitating referrals to specialists within the surrounding community There is no charge for an office visit with one of our team members. However, charges can be incurred if you receive medications, require laboratory services, or have procedures performed. We do provide an insurance-ready statement that the student can access through the My Wellness portal, under the Account Summary section. This statement can be submitted to your insurance for reimbursement.

In delivering services we recognize students as complex individuals with spiritual, cultural, financial, emotional, and physical needs. Our goal is to develop a plan of care that encompasses these needs to ultimately assist the student in achieving/maintaining an optimal state of health.

Counseling Services The Counseling Services team is a multidisciplinary team of counseling clinicians, a dietitian, and a psychiatrist. Counseling Services at the Hoaglin Wellness Center supports the holistic well-being and academic success of students, and contributes to a healthy and inclusive campus climate. Enrolled students are eligible to receive counseling services from the Wellness Center, including short-term individual therapy, single-session counseling, group counseling, and medication management.

Where the scope of care required exceeds the services within the Wellness Center, Denison endeavors to assist students in making referrals to outside providers.

Counseling Services invites all students to make an appointment to meet with one of our counseling clinicians and discuss their concerns. The clinician, in collaboration with the student, will determine if services within the Hoaglin Wellness Center will best serve the student’s needs or if a referral for services outside the center would be more appropriate.

Services We Provide › › › › › › › › ›

Initial assessment appointments Short-term individual counseling Same Day/Urgent counseling Consultation Group counseling/Support groups Workshops Outreach programming Referral services Couples counseling (if both individuals are eligible for services)

Services Outside Our Scope The Counseling Center provides short-term therapy to students. Some students will have mental health needs that extend beyond what our counseling center can provide, and they will be directed to services off-campus. Some of the issues that are commonly addressed through referral to services outside of Counseling Services for longer-term or more intensive counseling include: › Learning disability, neuropsychological, or ADHD assessment › Presence of impairing eating disorder › A history of multiple hospitalizations, chronic suicidality and/ or self-injury behaviors; history of repeated suicide attempts › Evidence or risk of progressive deterioration in mental or emotional functioning, requiring intensive intervention › Presence of impairing drug and/or alcohol problems › Court-mandated assessment or treatment requirements

Financial Aid

Finances Student Accounts Each student has a Student Account where tuition, course fees, housing, meals, insurance, loans, grants, scholarships, miscellaneous charges, and payments are applied.

Statements Electronic statements are produced on the first working day of each month; Student Accounts does not mail statements. Students can view their monthly statement by logging into their Self-Service account on MyDenison.

While statements are produced each month, the two major billings are July (Fall Semester) and December (Spring Semester). Each month an email will be sent to let you know a statement is available to view. The email will be sent to your Denison email address and to any Proxy whom you granted direct access to your statement. Other account-related emails (i.e. requests for action or past-due notices) may be sent as well.

The Office of Financial Aid works hard through the summer months to ensure a smooth financial transition to your time at Denison.

It is important to check your email regularly and respond promptly to requests and provide documentation that is needed to finalize your financial aid. The following information is key to understanding your financial aid, where to find information, and next steps in the process.

Method of Correspondence

Proxy Access Students can grant parents and others direct access to statements in their Self-Service account on MyDenison. This is called a PROXY.

Set up instructions

The Office of Financial Aid will use your Denison email address for communications from the office. The office recommends that you check your email regularly for most current requests, information, and updates.

Learn how to set up a proxy in Self-Service by visiting https://denison.edu/ forms/parent-proxy-grant-parentsother-guests-access. It is important that students grant direct access prior to June 15 to ensure the proxy receives the Fall Statement Notification and other helpful information.

Payments Students are asked to complete the Financial Responsibility Agreement in Phase 1 of their Enrollment Checklist. In signing this document, students are accepting responsibility for timely payment of bills and fees. Failure to act in accordance of the Financial Responsibility Agreement could result in the inability to register for courses, select housing, or being administratively withdrawn from the university.

Student Accounts accepts payment by check, money order, cash, and electronic transfer. You may also pay online by credit card (a convenience fee applies). Payments from outside the US can be made through FlyWire at https://payment.flywire.com/pay/payment. Monthly payment plan options are available through Nelnet Campus Commerce.

Learn more

The fall semester bill will be in MyDenison Self-Service and emailed to students and their proxies on July 6. The due date for the fall semester bill is July 27.

Next Steps – Student Loans If you plan to borrow any of your offered Federal Direct Loan funds (Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized), you must complete the following two steps before the funds can be disbursed to your student account: › STEP 1: Accept, reduce, or decline the offered Federal Direct Loans › STEP 2: Go to www.studentaid.gov (Federal Student Aid - U.S. Department of Education site). Using your FSA ID (the ID used on the FAFSA), complete the items below Entrance Counseling: This information session, required for all first-time borrowers, explains your rights and responsibilities as a student borrower and provides information about how to manage your student loans, both during and after college. The session typically takes approximately thirty minutes to complete.

Loan Agreement (Master Promissory Note/MPN) for Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans: The MPN is a legal document in which the borrower promises to repay the loan and any accrued interest and fees to the U.S. Department of Education. The MPN can cover multiple academic years. You will need to provide the name, address, and phone number of two personal references who are not family members.

Next Steps – Other Financing Options › OPTION 1: Parent PLUS Loan Request If it has been determined that you are a Dependent student on your FAFSA, parent(s) can apply for a Direct Parent PLUS Loan using their FSA ID (the same ID they used on the FAFSA).

A parent applying for a PLUS loan is required to complete the approval (credit check). If a PLUS Loan is approved through a credit appeal or with an endorser, PLUS Credit Counseling is also required as well as a new MPN. https://denison.edu/campus/ finances/federal-loans › OPTION 2: Private/Alternative Student Loans These types of loans, not provided by the federal government, are based on the good credit history of the student and/or a co-signer. You may borrow from any lender of your choosing. Be mindful of interest rates and fees. https://denison.edu/ campus/finances/private-education-loans › OPTION 3: Monthly Payment Plan with Nelnet Campus Commerce Semester payment plans are available with a $50 non-refundable per semester enrollment fee. The number of months depends on when you enroll. https://denison.edu/campus/finances/semesterpayment-plans

Finances Finances Student Health Insurance All full-time students must have insurance coverage. The Denison University Student Insurance Plan is required for students not covered under their family’s health/hospitalization plan, an individual health plan, or Medicaid. Even if you have coverage under another plan, it is strongly urged that international students and intercollegiate athletics, club sport, intramural, and off-campus study participants carry the Denison University Student Health Insurance Plan.

Each student must enroll in or waive the Student Health Insurance Plan. Enrollment is automatic for all students unless the waiver is completed. To enroll in or waive this insurance, please complete the form through Wellfleet at wellfleetstudent.com.

Students will log into the Wellfleet site to complete the form using their MyDenison login. The July billing statement for your first semester will include the charge for this insurance plan unless it is waived.

If a student has a state-sponsored insurance plan, please note many of these plans do not provide benefits outside of your state of residence (unless you are receiving emergency care within an emergency department of a hospital). Please check with your plan to verify.

If a student would like to submit documentation of their medical visit and charges to their personal insurance plan, the student must ask for a “Detailed Walkout Statement.” This insurance-ready statement for insurance reimbursement is generated at the time of the office visit.

A student may request a copy of these statements at Health Services or at the Student Account Office. Denison does not submit statements directly to students’ individual insurance companies.

See the Student Insurance Plan

Outside Scholarships If you are receiving scholarships from outside sources, you will need to notify the Office of Financial Aid about these awards.

You may provide a copy of the award letter or send an email to finaid@denison.edu with details on the scholarship. Outside scholarships will not appear as a credit on the bill until the scholarship checks are received from the various organizations.

Disbursement Requirements Financial aid will disburse toward the institutional bill when the following requirements have been met:

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

How To Find a Job Beginning in the middle of July, student job postings will be posted to MyDenison under Campus Resources > Administration > Student Employment. This page will provide a list of all positions currently available. Many offices do not post jobs until closer to the beginning of the semester, so keep checking the website for new listings.

Prior to Working If you plan to work, you should come to campus prepared to complete paperwork with Human Resources. Students must complete a federal Form I-9 upon employment being offered, and prior to any work being performed. To complete the I-9, students are asked to bring to campus the following documents. ALL DOCUMENTS MUST BE ORIGINALS. Copies cannot be accepted. Additional acceptable documents can be found on MyDenison. › A current unexpired U.S. passport

OR › A current unexpired Driver’s License/State ID AND a Social Security Card (not laminated)

Academic Advising The Dean of Transfer Students coordinates academic and co-curricular programs and services for transfer students to help them be successful and productive in the Denison environment. The Dean of Transfer Students is here to promote students’ progress towards timely completion of their degrees and achievement of their academic and professional goals. The Dean also assists students in transferring credits to Denison and oversees orientation for entering transfer students.

| First-Year Notebook

Academic Advisors The Dean of Transfer Students is responsible for assigning Academic Advisors to entering transfer students and works with both students and faculty on academic advising concerns. All faculty at Denison serve as Academic Advisors, and as such are an important resource for everything from scheduling classes, navigating a major, or preparing for a career after graduation. Academic Advisors assist students as they assemble their course work and co-curricular activities into a coherent liberal arts education tailored to their own needs and interests. You will be asked to complete an Advising and Academic Interests form within your Admitted Student Portal at connect.denison.edu. This information will be solely used for advisory purposes and will be shared only with those people assigned by the college to assist you with academic planning.

Student Support The Dean of Transfer Students maintains a collaborative relationship with several offices of the college, including the Academic Resource Center (ARC), Residential Communities & Housing, and the Wellness Center. The Academic Dean of First-Year Students and the Director of Orientation and First-Year Experience are available throughout the year to meet with students on a wide range of issues, including academic performance, personal adjustment concerns, and other issues related to navigating college life.

Transfer Advising Circle All entering transfers are strongly encouraged to participate in the Transfer Advising Circle during the fall semester. This is a once a week, one-hour meeting that provides students with a chance to reconnect with each other and discuss how their transition to Denison is going. Since this Circle is facilitated by the Dean of Transfer Students and the Co-Coordinators of Transfer Orientation, it is also a time for them to answer questions and share information about programs and opportunities of particular interest to transfer students.

Transferring in Classes or Other Credits?

A Denison education features small, interactive, discussion-based classes taught by professors who are both dedicated teachers and leading scholars in their respective fields. As such, Denison applies the same standards towards courses that students bring with them from outside Denison. While you and your family should consult https://denison.edu/academics/registrar for the official transfer credit policy, a summary and some helpful suggestions are provided here.

Types of Transfer Credit Upon department approval, the following options may also transfer to Denison. › Advanced Placement › British System ‘A’ Level Examination › International Baccalaureate (IB) › College Credits Earned While in High School

› 1) Divisional Requirements of the college (two courses from each): Fine Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences, and one course from the Interdivisional area. In fulfilling those divisional requirements, you must choose courses from nine different disciplines. Therefore, nine different academic departments must be represented in those nine required courses.

In most cases, anyone in the office can assist you with any questions you might have about academic matters or services that the Registrar’s Office provides.

› 2) Completion of the following competency areas - Quantitative Reasoning (1), Oral Communication (1), Power and Justice (1), and Writing (2).

Whenever possible, please direct your questions and requests for services as follows:

› 3) The foreign language requirement.

› Sandra Cook: Degree audits, academic requirements and policies, reporting - cooks@denison.edu

Academic Resource Center The mission of the Academic Resource Center (ARC) is to enrich and enhance the educational experience of all Denison students and support faculty and student interactions.

We help students move upward and forward with their academic goal setting. Some of ARC’s specific programming includes free peer tutoring, academic skill-building workshops, and accessibility services for students with disabilities.

In-person, phone and/or video conference appointments can be arranged.

Academic Resource Questions?

ARC staff are available for individual appointments or small workshops about the following topics: › › › › › › › › ›

Transitioning to Denison and Tips for Academic Success Time Management Critical Thinking and Reading Communicating with Faculty Note-taking Skills Test Anxiety Managing Stress Study Strategies The Writing Process

ARC professionals also provide support to faculty and staff on individual student concerns, accessibility/disability resources, and academic issues.

ARC Peer Tutoring ARC oversees the Academic Resource Center Tutoring Program. The mission of the ARC Tutoring Program is to help all students become independent learners by promoting active learning, critical thinking, and access to other campus resources. This program is designed for you to commit to weekly one-on-one sessions with your tutor. Tutoring does not replace working with faculty, and it is strongly recommended that you meet with your professors before requesting a tutor.

Tutors are available in most academic subjects on a first-come, first-serve basis at no charge. Tutors are experienced students, recommended by faculty, hired and trained by the ARC staff.

Separate from the ARC Tutoring program, some academic departments offer drop-in tutoring on a limited basis.

Accessibility/Disability Services Accessibility is an essential feature of the Denison campus and we strive to create an inclusive community for our students.

We strive to ensure that students with disabilities are provided the tools they need to access all aspects of student life inside and outside of the classroom.

The ARC coordinates a wide range of services, reasonable accommodations, and auxiliary services for students with disabilities. If you are an incoming student seeking reasonable academic accommodations or auxiliary services for a disability, you need to upload a copy of the most recent medical report or evaluation documenting the nature and severity of the disability using the Accommodate portal found on the Accessibility/Disability Services website. Information about a disability uploaded to the Wellness portal must be shared separately with ARC out of respect for confidentiality of the student’s information. Please be aware that any materials submitted with a change to your required health forms will not be forwarded to ARC. When submitting documentation, please note that: › 1 . Documentation must be current (ideally within the past three years) and must be signed by the appropriate licensed professional (e.g. physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, learning specialist, etc). › 2 . Documentation must include the date the test(s) was administered and the specific battery of tests, including the results used in making the diagnosis(es). Specific reasonable accommodations and auxiliary services will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The ARC staff will determine reasonable accommodations by utilizing required documentation, information from the online accessibility intake form, individual student consultation, and if needed, consultation with a licensed professional. Each semester, students must request faculty notification of their accommodations by completing a Faculty Notification Form. More information is provided on the ARC website.

Center for Global Programs The Center for Global Programs is home to the Off-Campus Study, International Student Support, and Multilingual Learning staff. We assist more than 300 students each year with their study away programs as well as assist and mentor more than 400 international students on Denison’s campus.

Off-Campus Study (OCS) From traditional semester study abroad, short-term programs, and Denison seminars, to internship programs in the U.S. and abroad, you are able to take advantage of a wide range of opportunities to enhance your education and thoughtfully engage with the world. The Center for Global Programs will guide you through the process of dovetailing off-campus study with your broader educational goals. To learn more about the process, visit: https://globaltools.denison.edu

Why do students study off-campus?

Students who engage in an academic program outside of Denison’s campus enjoy the opportunity to explore their academic and personal interests through a different lens. In addition, participants gain international experience and crosscultural communication skills that employers are looking for, giving them a leg up when seeking employment post-graduation.

Who studies off-campus at Denison?

Students who study off-campus come from a full range of majors, interests, personal and financial backgrounds, and involvement at Denison. Some majors (Global Commerce, Global Health, International Studies, and Politics and Public Affairs) even have a required off-campus component built into their curriculum. Over 50% of the student body participates in OCS at some point, with the majority doing so during their junior year.

Academic Life |

37

Academic Life Where can students study off-campus?

OCS maintains a list of 250+ Denison-approved programs in over 70 countries. You can study abroad or domestically, in a large city, or a small town, in English or in a foreign language.

You may view the current list of Denison-accepted programs for off-campus study here: https://globaltools.denison.edu.

Students typically start the application process in the fall of their sophomore year. They first apply through Denison and, once approved, apply directly to their program provider.

Read more about our application process here: https://denison.edu/academics/study-abroad/how-it-works.

How much does it cost to study off-campus?

All students participating in an approved off-campus program remain registered at Denison and they are charged the current Denison tuition, room, and The Hill meal plan for the semester abroad. Students may apply all awarded financial aid [merit and need-based aid] to the cost of the off-campus study program, except work-study. Students are also charged a nonrefundable off-campus program administrative fee. Financial support may be available for other costs required for the program, e.g., passport, a visa, immunizations. Please ask the Center for Global Programs staff for more information.

Can students study off-campus and still graduate in four years?

Yes! The OCS Office begins working with students early in their Denison careers to plan for off-campus study, and guides students through the process of having their off-campus study coursework approved in advance of their participation. Students also work closely with their academic advisor, department chairs, and the Registrar’s Office to make certain their term away from campus allows them to stay on track for graduation.

International Student Support (ISS) International Student Support offers students who have been educated abroad the tools, guidance, and instruction to engage and perform at their optimal level in the U.S. academic domain. To that end, we provide a comprehensive orientation program for entering students, one-on-one advising on the academic, social, and personal challenges associated with living and learning in an unfamiliar culture, and continuing education on the immigration regulations, requirements, and expectations pertinent to the non-immigrant student visa. For information about the arrival process and orientation for students coming from abroad, please visit page 21 or the My ISS Portal (my.iss.denison.edu) and click on “New International Students.”

Multilingual Learning The Multilingual Learning staff supports the academic success and achievement of all Denisonians living and working in more than one language through one-on-one tutoring/consulting sessions, group workshops, and the creation of online resources.

If English is not your main language of use, our staff can assist you with your writing, reading, note-taking, and presentation skills. In addition, a Writing 101 (W101) course will be offered by our Multilingual Coordinator to students in their first year enrolled at Denison. This course is designed to assist multilingual students in the development of their college writing skills across various subject areas. More information about this W101 course will be shared during June Orientation.

Writing Center The Writing Center is a free service for all Denison students taking any course.

It offers feedback and instruction during any stage of the writing process, during any stage of a student’s career at Denison.

You are welcome to bring a rough draft to the Center, or just ideas and questions.

The Writing Center staff will work with you to strengthen your writing.

Why should you go to the Writing Center?

Writing is complicated. Even professional writers, including professors, know the value of getting feedback on their work. You are fortunate to have a place to go when you need feedback on any part of the writing process: brainstorming and planning, organizing and developing, revising for style and clarity, and editing. Equally important, it’s free!

What happens in the Writing Center?

When you visit the Writing Center, a consultant will ask a few questions to get to know something about you and the writing required. For example, the consultant will want to know about the writing assignment, what you hope to achieve in that text, and what you are working to improve on. Then, you and the consultant will work together to discuss your current assignment and strategize concrete steps to improve it as well as for others in the future, helping you to become a more effective writer. This all takes time, so you should leave enough to do your best work.

Who works in the Writing Center?

Denison students staff the Center. Some of them hope to become professional writers. Some hope to become teachers.

Some are natural and social scientists. Some have goals not directly connected to writing or the teaching of it. Most consultants, though, find that helping students with their writing strengthens the consultants’ own writing. Through staff meetings, workshops, and practice, consultants are trained to address the needs of Denison student writers.

Who should I work with in the Writing Center?

The optimum situation is that you create a good working relationship with at least one consultant. The teamwork that relationship creates will enhance your skills over time. Also, with your permission, your professor can be notified of visits to the Writing Center, helping the teacher to understand your efforts.

Ultimately, writing consultants will help you learn to be a better proofreader, editor, and reviser of your own writing.

Where do I go and when?

The center is in the Atrium level of the Library (A022), and is open Sunday-Thursday, 4-9 pm, and Tuesday and Thursday, 11:30 am-1:30 pm. The center is also open during the week in the evening for brief, walk-in consultations. To make a 30-minute appointment, consult the center’s website on MyDenison at MyDenison > Campus Resources > Writing Center > Schedule an Appointment.

Dining & Meal Plans Denison Dining’s mission is to create food that is alive with flavor and nutrition, prepared from scratch using authentic ingredients.

They do this in a socially responsible manner for the well-being of our guests, communities, and the environment. Denison Dining is committed to listening when you have suggestions, comments, or concerns. Please feel free to reach out when you have questions.

Your Student ID Card Your student ID is your passport to student services - not the least of which is dining services. You must have your ID on you each time you enter the dining halls. Your card will be scanned each time you come to Curtis, Huffman, or Slayter. If you have misplaced your ID please go to the Student Housing office to have your ID replaced.

Declining Dollars Declining Dollars is a declining balance account tied to your meal plan and may be used at any Dining Service location to purchase meals at Curtis and Huffman, as well as items from Slayter Market and Slayter 3rd floor (known as the Nest) based on the available balance. For a list of meal plans, guidelines and/or service hours, please refer to https://denison.cafebonappetit.com.

| First-Year Notebook

Denison Dollars Denison Dollars are a pre-paid, declining balance account that can be used on campus at all Dining Service locations, the Bookstore, or vending machines if the unit is equipped with a card reader. For information on how to add funds to your Denison Dollars account, visit denison.edu/campus/ finances/denison-dollars. To use your Denison Dollars, simply present your student ID to a cashier. Account balances can be checked at any cash register. Any unspent funds at the end of the semester will be carried over to the next semester. Provided there are no outstanding debts to the University, unspent funds may be refunded at the end of the academic year or at graduation upon written request to Student Accounts.

Special Dietary Requirements

Sustainability

Dining Services has many solutions for special dietary needs.

On a daily basis, they offer gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options to students. To meet the needs of those students who may have additional restrictions or concerns, the Executive Chef, Dylan Brandt, or General Manager Adam Poling are available to meet with you and/or your family one-on-one and design a solution to accommodate the specific needs of that student. Additionally, all of the management team is qualified to answer any nutritional or dietary restriction questions, and the staff is trained to seek out a manager if a student has any additional questions.

For Denison Dining, sustainability in food service means flavorful food that’s healthy and economically viable for all, produced through practices that respect farmers, workers, and animals; nourish the community; and replenish our shared natural resources for future generations. Denison Dining is committed to sourcing a minimum of 20% of their food from small, local, and owner-operated farms and businesses like One Line Coffee, Bird’s Haven Farm, Sunbeam Family Farm, OCHS fruit farm, and many more in the Granville area. All of the fryer oil on campus, after being filtered and reused, is used by a local farmer as biodiesel, and all three locations practice trayless dining and composting to further reduce the amount of waste going to the landfill. Other commitments include purchasing only certified humane cage-free shell eggs, tomatoes from Florida only if growers have signed the Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ Fair Food Agreement, turkey and chicken raised without antibiotics as a routine food additive, and ground beef that is humanely raised without antibiotics, added growth hormones, or animal byproducts. To learn more, go to https://bamco.com/sourcing.

Understanding the Meal Plans Declining Dollars

Denison Dollars

All plans have a specific amount of Declining Dollars for the student to use. As the student uses Declining Dollars for purchases, the balance declines like a debit card. Declining Dollars not used during Fall semester will roll to the student’s Spring semester meal plan. Unused Declining Dollars are forfeited at the end of the academic year.

Meal plans can be supplemented at any time with Denison Dollars, which are purchased online or through Student Accounts. Any unused Denison Dollars will carry over from semester to semester and year to year. Provided there are no outstanding debts to the college, any unspent Denison Dollars can be refunded at the end of any academic year upon written request to Student Accounts.

Students use their Declining Dollars to purchase meals at various venues on campus. Each meal has an associated price. This price is discounted at Curtis, Huffman, and the Nest when purchased using a meal plan.

How do I change my meal plan?

Declining Dollar totals and individual meal prices will be shared during June Orientation.

The “Unlimited Access” Plan Big Red - This plan allows the student to access Curtis and Huffman dining halls an unlimited number of times each semester. In addition, up to 30 times each semester, the student can opt to have their evening meal at Slayter by choosing from a select number of Big Red Bundle Special Meal Option menu items. Dining hall and Big Red Bundle Special Meal Option accesses do not affect the Declining Dollars balance for BIG RED plan participants (accesses are non-transferrable, and cannot be used for guests). The plan also includes $150 Declining Dollars which will allow the student some additional flexibility throughout the semester.

Students are enrolled in the meal plan they chose during the housing selection registration. Students not enrolled at Denison during the prior semester are placed on The Hill.

Students may make changes to their meal plan choice through the first two weeks of the semester using an online process through their mydenison portal (for questions about the online process contact Student Housing Operations & Planning). Changes may be made online up to four times during those two weeks. However, please note that changes made on or after registration day will have financial implications, as students are charged an appropriate daily amount for each plan, and these vary.

Declining Balance Plans Each of the declining-balance meal plans have a specific amount of Declining Dollars the student uses to purchase all their oncampus meals. These plans provide the most flexibility. However, they also require the student to plan and monitor their spending (the Dining Plan Spending Guide will help with planning).

The Hill - (Default First-Year Plan) - The plan includes Declining Dollars. Students should average about 16 meals per week using this plan.

Olmsted - The plan includes Declining Dollars. Students should average about 14 meals per week using this plan.

West Loop - This plan combines the flexibility of the declining balance concept with the more traditional dining hall experience.

The plan includes Declining Dollars and 10 meal swipes per week.

Dining hall meal swipes do not affect the Declining Dollars balance.

Students should average about 14 meals per week using this plan.

West College - The plan includes Declining Dollars. Students should average about 12 meals per week using this plan.

Student Vehicle Registration and Student Parking

48

| First-Year Notebook

All students are allowed to have cars on campus.

Students electing to bring their car with them should register them with the Office of Campus Safety. In August, students will receive an email regarding how to register their vehicle along with the rules and regulations. The registration for first-year student vehicles is $125. Students are required to park in student-designated locations.

Tips for Success ›

In case of an emergency, call 911.

›

Carry your ID Card – doors to residence hall rooms will lock behind a student. To avoid waiting for someone to assist you with accessing your room, always carry your student ID with you.

›

There is safety in numbers. If you decide to walk on or off-campus at night go as a group and come back as a group. If you would prefer a safety escort call 740-587-6623.

›

What expectations do your families have around safety and decisions around alcohol? Talk with them before coming to campus to understand their feelings on the topic.

›

Park your car in your assigned area to avoid tickets or being towed.

›

Install the Rave Guardian Mobile Safety app to your cell phone.

›

Don’t be afraid to speak up when something doesn’t feel right, tell someone who can help! To anonymously report a concern, go to MyDenison and click the helping hands symbol at the top right of the page.

Emergency Alert System Denison maintains an Emergency Alert System to help keep the campus community safe. It operates through the Rave Guardian Mobile Safety app which all students should download and become familiar with prior to coming to campus.

The Expectations of Denisonians Upholding community expectations and supporting students in values-based decision-making are core tenants to the Office of Community Values and Student Conduct. Conflict and exploring one’s values set in decision making are healthy experiences of living and learning in a community. The Office of Community Values and Student Conduct offers several ways to address student conflict and behavioral misconduct, ranging in structure, levels of participation, and outcomes. The student conduct process is educational and internal to the University. In addition to facilitating the student conduct process, the Office of Community Values and Student Conduct offers resources, workshops, and coaching to help individuals and groups navigate conflict and decision-making in healthy ways.

How do I know the rules and policies for Denison students?

Does Denison have a Medical Assistance or “Good Samaritan” policy?

The Code of Student Conduct is a good place to start; it links to many of the policies and other expectations that govern you as a Denisonian. You can find the code on MyDenison or on the University website.

Yes! The Medical Assistance policy grants amnesty to students who seek assistance when they or another student are at risk of harm from alcohol or other drugs, when the intoxicated student calls, or if another student calls on the student’s behalf.

In exchange for amnesty, students receive substance education, and the situation is not reported on a student’s disciplinary history.

How do you decide how to resolve conflicts and behavioral misconduct?

The Office of Community Values and Student Conduct resolves conflict and behavioral misconduct in several different ways.

They heavily consider the allegations of the reported behavior, as they assess the severity, frequency, and community impact of behaviors. Informally resolved-matters are not released as part of students’ University disciplinary history, while formal processes appear as part of a students’ disciplinary history.

My internship requires a copy of my disciplinary record or an additional form. Can you help?

You can request a Disciplinary History Memo by emailing OCVCR staff, or bring them the forms from the programs and graduate schools that require disciplinary information. They’ll provide a waiver for you to consent to what information you’d like to be shared, and with whom. Whether your history is clear or there is something to report, they’ll provide you with guidance.

Social Life & Traditions We’ve got our own DNA. Things that make Denison…Denison.

Some of these traditions and campus favorites have been around for a long time — some are newer — and each one represents what makes our community unique and our campus fun. CLIC supports a myriad of events, programs, and traditions throughout the year. Each year, you can look forward to a range of experiences including live music & concerts, carnival rides & inflatables, comedians, off-campus experiences, food trucks, and maybe even a drag queen or two!

Many of these opportunities are sponsored by the University Programming Council (UPC). Each year, UPC brings us: › Week of Welcome - fun, late-night social events

to welcome our newest Denisonians

› Denison Day - dating back to 1909, D-Day is one of Denison’s

oldest traditions! D-Day is an all-day celebration of student performers and a big name headlining artist

› Gala - a themed extravaganza of food, entertainment,

and dancing in the Slayter Union

› WinterFest - Stay warm with hot cocoa, ice skating,

ice sculptures, and fun games

› Aestavalia - Dance, sing, and play as we celebrate

the start of Spring

Want more? Check out the Bandersnatch on East Quad open five nights a week for studying and entertainment. The Bandersnatch is a popular late-night destination. It is a studentrun business that hosts open mic nights, comedians, musicians, and acapella groups. It’s also home to the snagel (don’t worry, you’ll find out what it is and it’s delicious)!

One way Denison “educates our students to become…active citizens of a democratic society” is through service and civic engagement. Denison has received national accolades as a civically-engaged campus, with students logging more than 400,000 service hours annually! In addition to service, Denison students care deeply about voter education and registration.

In the 2020 Presidential Election, 99.6% of eligible Denison students were registered to vote - the highest in the nation!

The Denison Community Association (DCA) is our student-led umbrella organization, which includes 10+ service committees.

DCA Committees volunteer weekly to make a difference in the local community. DCA strives to engage in a variety of social issues areas that are relevant to needs in our local community, including: affordable housing, civic engagement, education & youth development, food security, health & well-being, and human rights advocacy.

Students with Federal Work-Study can apply to the America Reads program. The America Reads Program provides Denison students a campus employment opportunity for service and mentorship experience focused on advancing young literacy in local communities.

Annual Denison traditions to look forward to: › › › › › › › › ›

Service Opportunities

For a list of upcoming campus events and programs:

Denison also sponsors several large-scale service projects including: 9/11 Day of Service, Make a Difference Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, and Service Saturdays. These events are open to all students looking to volunteer but may not have time to make a weekly commitment.

In addition to local opportunities, CLIC sends students across the country on week-long service experiences through partnerships with BreakAway and Habitat for Humanity. Look for information about our alternative break service experiences for both Fall Break and Spring Break.

Leadership Development

Student Government

CLIC aims to equip Denison students with leadership skills so they can create positive change not only during their time at Denison but beyond. Leadership education and development is central to CLIC’s work, which involves collaborative relationships that lead to collective action grounded in our shared values and working together to affect change.

First-year students can participate in DU Lead, which is an opportunity for emerging leaders to reflect on how they intend to “Make their Mark” during their first year at Denison and beyond. DU Lead is a three-day, off-campus leadership retreat. DU Lead participants will engage with Denison staff, peer mentors, and like-minded first-year students.

The Denison Campus Governance Association (DCGA) is your student body government. Along with CLIC, DCGA supports Denison’s 160+ campus organizations and works to improve the student experience. DCGA is a great way to become involved as a leader on Denison’s campus. Senators are elected either by their class or by their cultural community to actively participate and vote during weekly Senate meetings. DCGA Senators also represent students on four standing committees: Policy, Finance, Rules and Public Relations. DCGA is a student-led outlet to initiate, voice, and support positive change at Denison.

As you can see, many opportunities await you when you arrive at Denison. Your co-curricular involvement is a chance to connect with the Denison community and to participate in meaningful experiences on and off campus.

CLIC is excited to help you get involved at Denison. We’ll see you at Week of Welcome and the Involvement Fair!

This past year, DCGA has: › Funded the renovation of the Black Student Union space › P rovided student input and feedback on the design and role of the new Ann and Thomas Hoaglin Wellness Center › A dded food availability on South Quad and initiated the processing of adding a permanent dining option on this portion of campus

DCGA also works on annual projects such as: › Fostering school spirit and tradition › Allocating annual budgets to support Denison’s 160+ campus organizations › Working with administrators towards the betterment of our campus › Listening to their peers and advocating for change based on student feedback

Fraternity & Sorority Life Denison’s fraternity and sorority community strives to be a model of excellence through individuals and chapters that perpetually strive for congruence with the shared principles of fraternity. Scholarship, leadership, civic responsibility, and friendship are the community values that guide fraternity and sorority life.

The Denison fraternity and sorority community includes 34% of students, within 21 greek-lettered organizations and 4 governing councils. The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), Panhellenic Council (NPC), and the Interfraternity Council (IFC) pride themselves on individuality, while also recognizing their common values and principles.

The process for joining a fraternity or sorority is called “membership intake” or “recruitment.” At Denison, we have a deferred recruitment and membership intake process hosted each spring for first-year students. This allows first-year students to adjust to Denison, focus on their academics, and learn about the variety of involvement opportunities prior to joining during the Spring semester.

Students must have earned 12 credit hours and a 2.50 cumulative GPA to participate in a membership intake or recruitment process. Credits from AP or summer courses do not count for first-year students to join in the Fall semester.

The Mitchell Recreation Center houses Livingston Gymnasium, Trumbull Aquatics Center, Mitchell Fieldhouse, The Crown Fitness Center, and the Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse.

He was the lead donor for both the Mitchell Fieldhouse and the renovation and expansion of the center.

Livingston Gymnasium Livingston Gymnasium is home to the Big Red Men’s and Women’s basketball teams as well as the women’s volleyball team. The gym underwent a major renovation during the summer of 2015 with a complete floor replacement. The facility is named for alumnus and longtime Athletic Director, Walter J.

Scott was one of Denison’s first NCAA postgraduate scholars as a Big Red football standout. Hours for open swim are listed on the next page.

Mitchell Fieldhouse The Mitchell Fieldhouse is an 81,000 square foot indoor track and tennis facility. New flooring for the track and tennis courts was just installed in the fall of 2019.

Crown Fitness Center The Crown Fitness Center is an 8,000 square foot facility that is available for use to any Denison student, faculty, or staff member. The center offers more than 100 pieces of fitness equipment including treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, rowers, climbers, a rotating climbing wall, strength equipment, and free weights. The Crown Fitness Center was named after 1985 Denison graduate and trustee Janet Crown.

Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse, also known as the “Rec Gym,” features three hardwood courts and a jogging track. The space is primarily used as a recreation gym for club sports, intramural sports and drop-in recreation, and also serves as a practice facility for varsity sports.

“ I am continually amazed at Denison University’s commitment to bringing live music to its campus. I have treasured each visit to Denison and have marveled at the warmth and the welcome from students. I very much admire the inspired artistic vision represented by the Vail Series and congratulate its founders.”

First-year students engage Red Frame Lab in many different ways.

Some of our Red StartUp entrepreneurs starting a new business are first-years. Others come in to talk about a new idea, student organization, or event design. Some will come for our speakers on Arts and Entrepreneurship or Designing Your Life workshops. Still others will visit through their Advising Circle, and the bold ones among you sign up for our Red Frame Consulting program. So yeah, Red Frame Lab is for you, too!

Red Frame Lab is a flexible space with two breakout rooms.

Our space is open and available for small group meetings, hanging out, studying, or even enjoying a work-free zone. We have access to a beautiful balcony with tables and seating overlooking A-Quad.

Red Frame Lab is equipped with dry-erase boards, sticky notes, markers, a Jamboard, craft and art supplies, a Cricut for t-shirts and sticker design, stress relief games and activities, magazines and books on entrepreneurial and design thinking topics—and candy on a pretty regular basis. Just drop by or schedule a conversation.

Travel Tips Denison’s 900-acre hillside campus is in Granville, Ohio, just 27 miles east of Columbus, the state capital.

Traveling to Granville John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) is served by most of the major airlines. Cars may be rented at the airport from most national car rental companies. Taxis are available at the airport or you may contact Yellow Cab of Columbus 614-444-4444 in advance. Greyhound serves downtown Columbus.

Should your travel plans necessitate arrival in the Granville area earlier than Move-In Day on Thursday, August 25th please make your own arrangements for overnight accommodations and travel to campus. Area accommodations are listed on the next page.

Please note that Denison does not provide transportation from CMH or the Greyhound Station to campus on First-Year Move-In Day.

Directions to Campus from Columbus airport Port Columbus International Airport is about 22 miles from campus and is served by most major airlines. From the airport, drive toward Interstate 270 and follow 270 North to Ohio Route 161 East. Take Route 161 East to the Granville area (approximately 25 miles), then exit onto Ohio Route 661 North.

Route 661 takes you to the center of Granville. At the traffic light, continue north on North Main Street one block to the main campus entrance.

Driving to Campus When coming from the east, west and south, the best approach is from Interstate 70. Granville is 10 miles north of I-70 (Exit 126) on Ohio Route 37 West. When Route 37 turns off on the divided highway outside of Granville, continue straight ahead on Ohio Route 661 into Granville. Route 661 takes you to the center of Granville. At the traffic light, continue north on North Main Street one block to the main campus entrance.

If coming from the north, you should exit Interstate 71 at Bellville and take Ohio Route 13 south into Mt. Vernon. From there, Ohio Route 661 south will bring you the 23 miles to the North Gate entrance of Denison.
