INTRODUCTION TO

NORTHERN CARIBBEAN UNIVERSITY

With excitement, we welcome you as a prospective student of Northern Caribbean University (NCU) and believe that the cultural diversity you will bring, will enrich all of us resulting in a mutually beneficial relationship. Since Northern Caribbean University is a Christian institution, we want to take this opportunity to introduce our campus-life programmes and hope that you will treasure the special educational environment we have created. Our Christian values system is intended to help integrate learning with living and to have our students enjoy deep, satisfying relationships among themselves and freedom to worship God.

Northern Caribbean University is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which operates 87 colleges and universities throughout the world. It is part of the Protestant group of churches. Though the majority of our students belong to our church, more than 30% belong to other denominations. Students entering our university do not need to belong to our faith or any faith, but we ask that our on-campus value system be respected.

Christian Emphasis

Because of the University's Christian emphasis, we meet on different occasions during the week to give our Campus population an opportunity to associate in a non-academic environment. This produces a warm, cordial atmosphere that we enjoy and it allows students the opportunity to gain exposure to and take advantage of the many cultural, social and spiritual programmes available at the University. Undergraduate students are required to attend a campus-wide assembly twice per week at 2:00 pm. In addition, students living on campus are required to attend devotional services when they are held in the dormitories.

The University’s New Student Orientation Handbook outlines the standards expected from students of Northern Caribbean University. Students are encouraged to deeply respect the rights and feelings of others. Tolerance and respect for all religions and ethnic groups is cherished and nurtured on our Campus. Personal appearance should reflect good taste. Northern Caribbean University promotes a balance in lifestyle that maximizes good physical as well as spiritual health and academic development. In light of this, students are expected to refrain from the use of alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs while at the University.

Seventh-day Adventists acknowledge Saturday in their belief of God’s personal act of creation of this world and for His personal involvement in the life of the persons He created. Saturday is called Sabbath and is observed from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. The University requires all residence hall students who remain on campus for the weekend to attend all the worship services held during the Sabbath.

Conclusion

At Northern Caribbean University we want you to feel at home on our campus and enjoy a productive experience of: academic growth; lasting friendships; spiritual awareness; and a whole lot of fun. As we work together, we can enrich the University’s community. We encourage you to give us suggestions on how we can make the campus a more positive part of your educational experience.
