We encourage you to take advantage of the many services and programs offered by faculty, staff, and student organizations that are designed to enhance your overall college experience. It is the responsibility of the entire community to maintain an environment that is conducive to the mission and purpose of Young Harris College.

  • Campus Information - a detailed list of the many programs and services offered by the College to help students succeed academically and socially.
  • Student Life Policies - an outline of important policies and procedures relevant to student life, including the following subsections: General College Policies and Procedures, Policies For Student Organizations, Residence Life and the Sexual Misconduct Policy. These policies and procedures are in addition to the academic expectations and responsibilities of students, and each student is responsible for knowing, observing and adhering to all student life policies and procedures.
  • YHC Student Code of Conduct - an outline of the institution’s expectations and student rights and responsibilities; it creates a standard by which students are expected to conduct themselves that is consistent with the educational goals of the College.
