Minnesota Law (M.S.135A.14) requires all students born after December 31, 1956, who enroll in a Minnesota college or university to be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, and rubella. This law allows for some exemptions. 

The FTC issued the Red Flags Rule under sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act), which amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The rule requires "financial institutions" and "creditors" that hold "covered accounts" to develop and implement a written identity theft prevention program for new and existing accounts. While aimed primarily at financial institutions, parts of the rule cover many colleges and universities and the FTC has stated that nonprofit and government entities can be subject to parts of the rule. To comply with the Red Flags Rule, Hamline University (“HU”) developed this Identity Theft Prevention Program (“Program”).

Hoverboards are not be permitted on campus grounds or buildings, including residential locations. Similar motorized or mechanized self-balancing devices are also prohibited.

Graduation with University Honors indicates that a student has participated in and successfully completed the University Honors program. Graduation with Latin honors indicates superior attainment in scholarship as reflected in a student’s GPA. Graduation with distinction in the major indicates that a student has completed a Departmental Honors Project.

To ensure proper compliance with Internal Revenue Service regulations, immigration regulations, and generally accepted accounting principles, the university has established policy and guidelines for payments made to non-Hamline employees for services provided to the University through an honorarium.

Hamline University designates official holidays (“Official Hamline Holidays”) for each fiscal-year, during which offices are closed unless otherwise specified, all classes are suspended, and most major events and athletic activities will not be held.

All Hamline University undergraduates and all international graduate students are required to have health insurance.
