Connecticut College - Student Life

Student Life

• The Honor Code is signed by all students upon matriculation. It allows a strong student voice in shared governance through the Student Government Association, and the luxury of self-scheduled, unproctored exams. Because of the Honor Code, students are treated by faculty, staff, and the administration as mature adults. A student-run judicial board, now known as the Honor Council, adjudicates alleged infractions of the Honor Code.

• Through a gift by an alumnus, Connecticut College students may take music lessons during the semester at no charge.

• Connecticut College has seven a cappella groups: three women's groups (the ConnChords, The Shwiffs and Miss Connduct), one men's group (the Co Co Beaux), and three coed groups (Conn Artists, Vox Cameli, and Williams Street Mix).

• WCNI (90.9 FM), the college radio station, broadcasts a variety of music including polka, blues, and celtic music shows. A 2,000 watt transmitter installed in 2003 reaches much of Connecticut, parts of Rhode Island, and parts of southwest Massachusetts.
• The College Voice, Connecticut College's only student newspaper, is an editorially independent print and online publication. Students print weekly, and handle all aspects of production: reporting, editing, ad sales, management, photography, layout, multimedia and design. They also run a variety of guides and blogs, like the New London local dining guide and the summer student intern blog The Summer Voice.
