Scope and Contents

The collection contains student handbooks and datebooks for Harper College. The handbooks serve as a guide to the college with information on student services, academic requirements, college policies, campus facilities, the academic calendar and other topics related to student life. The datebooks are calendars with campus events listed accompanied by a directory of campus offices, information on student services, and helpful information designed for students. After the merger of the two publications in 1992, the handbook/datebook contains the regulations and policies governing student life at Harper College as well as the resources and activities available to students beyond the classroom.

Biographical / Historical

The handbooks began publication in 1967 with the opening of Harper College. The datebooks began publication in the fall of 1989 and were a separate publication from the handbook. In the fall of 1992, the two publications were merged into one document, the handbook/datebook. During the academic year 2003-2004, the handbook was added to the College’s catalog and ceased separate publication.
