Preface
Plain Text Version
The Medical University of South Carolina Student Handbook is published by the Office of Student Programs and distributed to all new students. The Handbook provides basic information about student services, facilities, campus activities and organizations, the MUSC Student Government Association, and University policies and procedures. It is to be used in conjunction with your college's handbook and the 2007-2008 Bulletin of the Medical University of South Carolina at http://www.musc.edu/bulletin.

Although the Handbook is filled with useful information, it cannot take the place of talking with someone in person or on the telephone when you need assistance. The “Quick Reference” section should direct you to the right resource, or you may call the Office of Student Programs, 792-2693.

Many thanks to everyone who helped us compile accurate information as of June 2007. Your comments and ideas on content and format are welcome. Please contact the Office of Student Programs, 792-2693.
