Navigator Student Handbook

The official student handbook of the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling.

In these pages, you will find information about the academic, registration, and college-wide policies and procedures that guide life on campus, as well as information about graduate school generally, and resources and tools for planning your course of study.
