3. The Dress Code View Table of Contents (click here)

While the vast majority of our students do adhere to an acceptable form of dress, it is important for us at the University to aid all students by giving guidance, via the dress code, thus preparing them for the professional world. The principles found in the Hampton University "Dress Code" are based on the theory that learning to use socially acceptable manners and to select attire that is appropriate to specific occasions and activities are critical factors in the total educational process.

Hampton University makes no excuses for its high expectations of students in and outside of the classroom. Our providing an education for life includes more than merely preparing students to conform to acceptable standards; it also means cultivating young men and women to become leaders who will set the standards for others to follow.

Please read the guidelines carefully and make whatever changes needed to remain in compliance.

The Dress Code is based on the theory that learning to use socially acceptable manners and selecting attire appropriate to specific occasions and activities are critical factors in the total educational process. Understanding and employing these behaviors not only improves the quality of one's life, but also contributes to optimum morale, as well as embellishes the overall campus image. They also play a major role in instilling a sense of integrity and an appreciation for values and ethics.

The continuous demonstration of appropriate manners and dress insures that Hampton University students meet the very minimum standards of quality achievement in the social, physical, moral and educational aspects of their lives - essential areas of development necessary for propelling students toward successful careers.

Students will be denied admission to various functions if their manner of dress is inappropriate. On this premise students at Hampton University are expected to dress neatly at all times. The following are examples of appropriate dress for various occasions:

  1. Classroom, Cafeteria, Student Center and University offices - neat, modest, casual or dressy attire.
  2. Formal programs in Ogden Hall, the Convocation Center, the Little Theater and the Memorial Chapel - business or dressy attire.
  3. Interviews - business attire.
  4. Social/Recreational activities, Residence hall lounges (during visitation hours) - modest, casual or dressy attire.
  5. Balls, Galas, and Cabarets - formal, semi-formal and dressy respectively.

3.1 Examples of Inappropriate Dress and/or Appearance

  1. Do-rags, stocking caps, skullcaps and bandanas (prohibited at all times on the campus of Hampton University except in the privacy of the student's living quarters).
  2. Head coverings and hoods for men in any building.
  3. Baseball caps and hoods for women in any building. This policy item does not apply to headgear considered as a part of religious or cultural dress.
  4. Bare feet.
  5. Shorts that reveal buttocks.
  6. Shorts, all types of jeans at programs dictating professional or formal attire, such as Musical Arts, Fall Convocation, Founder's Day, and Commencement.
  7. Clothing with derogatory, offensive and/or lewd messages either in words or pictures.
  8. Men's undershirts of any color worn outside of the private living quarters of the residence halls.
  9. Sports jerseys without a conventional tee-shirt underneath.
  10. Men and Women's pants that show underwear.

3.2 Procedures for Cultural or Religious Head Coverings

  1. Students seeking approval to wear headgear as an expression or religious or cultural dress may make a written request for a review through the Office of the Chaplain.
  2. The Chaplain will forward his recommendation to the Vice President for Student Affairs for final approval.
  3. Students that are approved will then have their new ID card picture taken by University Police with the headgear being worn.

All administrative, faculty and support staff members will be expected to monitor student behavior applicable to this dress code and report any such disregard or violations to the Offices of the Dean of Men, or Dean of Women for the attention of the Vice President for Student Affairs.

11. Computer Literacy Requirement View Table of Contents (click here)

CSC 120, Intro to Computers, is a university requirement. If CSC 120 is part of your curriculum, then you take it as indicated. If CSC 120 is not part of your curriculum, then you must take it during your freshman year. Please see your advisor.

We have 3 sections open during the summer 2012 pre-college session; during the fall 2012 semester, we will offer 25 instructor-led sections, 8 on-line sections, and one element K section. This course is designed to develop and train students in the areas of software application and computer concepts. The specific software applications taught, MS Office 2007, include MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, and MS Access.

All students must complete CSC 120, or demonstrate computer proficiency, before they graduate. The University recognizes that a number of students may already be proficient in Microsoft Office 2007. In addition, these same students may already possess a working knowledge of computer concepts.

In order to meet the needs of these students, there is a means where by students can opt to test out of CSC 120. In order to take part in this option, a student must demonstrate proficiency in the areas mentioned above, beyond a basic knowledge. HU has partnered with the online software tutorial, Element K, to provide students with an opportunity to assess their proficiency level.

The Element K tutorial is not designed to teach the exam, nor provide a quick means of leaning the applications. It is simply a tool students may use to assess their proficiency level. The University and the Department of Computer Science strongly encourage all students wishing to test out of CSC 120 to use these tutorials before they take the Exit Exam.

A suggested means to measure proficiency is to complete all the lessons in each level for each application and take the follow up assessment at the end of each lesson. If you score above 80% in all lessons, you are a good candidate for the Exit Exam. In order to receive an Element K account and subsequently take the Exit Exam, you must enroll in the CSC 120-EK section and submit unofficial transcripts from HU to Ms. Hayden during the semester you wish to test. For the fall 2012 semester, the CRN number is 22306.

As mentioned earlier, if this course is already a part of the curriculum for your major, you take the course as indicated in your curriculum outline. If not, you must take the course, or test out, during your freshman year. If you successfully test out of the course, you will receive a letter grade indicating your level of performance. If you have any additional questions, please contact Angela Hayden by calling 757.727.5552, or by sending a message to angela.hayden@hamptonu.edu.

13. Registration and Schedule Planning View Table of Contents (click here)

Note:

Although advisors attempt to provide students with the best available information, the student ultimately selects the courses and constructs his or her program to his or her own satisfaction. It is the student's responsibility to see that program requirements are met and that the proper course for the intended major are taken in the proper sequence.

Now that you've been admitted to Hampton University, it is time to start thinking about the classes you will take this fall. Because we want you to start your college career off right, this information packet will guide you through the process of selecting and registering for courses. Early registration is encouraged since some classes will close due to the number of students attempting to register.

Registration is the process of setting up a class schedule and reserving a place for you in each of those classes. The attached Curriculum Guide identifies the courses that are required for your major during your first year at Hampton University. You must register for one section for each of the course designated for the first year at Hampton University. You MAY NOT deviate from the courses that are outlined for you. By doing this, you could delay your progress in your selected degree program.

Plan your schedule carefully. A Schedule Planning Worksheet is enclosed for your use. Record information about each section in which you would like to register.

  • Make sure you have the proper Course Reference Number (CRN) for each of your courses. This is a five-digit (5) number and is required to identify the department, course and section you are selecting when registering. Each course will have a unique five-digit CRN. Course Reference Numbers change with each semester.
  • Make sure there are no time conflicts among the classes you select. Check the days and times on which selections are offered.
  • Prepare a list of alternate sections for each course by listing the alternate CRNs, in case your first choice(s) is not available.

13.1 Registration Process

Once you have selected courses and planned your schedule, it is time to register for those courses. Hampton University uses an automated system called HUNet for registration. HUNet allows students to register for classes and to adjust their schedule by using a computer with internet access.

You will need two numbers to identify yourself - your HUID number and your Personal Information Number (PIN). Please keep both of these numbers confidential - the combination of the two will allow access to your personal records, and knowledge of these two numbers could allow unauthorized persons to add or delete classes in your schedule. The web system will ask for these two numbers each time you log-on.

A guide for accessing the HUNet web system is enclosed. Please remember your PIN. If you need technical assistance logging-in, please contact the Registrar Office by email registrar@hamptonu.edu. Once connected, you must check for holds and, then register for courses.

  1. Check for Holds. All holds must be cleared before any registration activity can occur. Holds arise from your failure to meet academic requirements; submit important paperwork, like your immunization record or physical exam report; or from a need for you to make arrangements regarding your financial matters. If you have holds on your account, you will be prevented from registering.
  2. Register for Courses. To register for a course, use the 5-digit Course Reference Number (CRN) listed beside each course section. The system will prompt you for each entry and will respond to tell if you have been registered in the class. Any special conditions will also be noted at the time you request the class. If the class is closed, you will be given assistance in finding another section. Be sure to write down alternative choices of class sections before you access the system.

Once you have registered for one section of every first semester course listed on your Curriculum Guide, you have successfully completed the registration process! You are halfway through enrolling at Hampton University for the fall.
