Policies & Procedures

As with any large organization, policies and procedures are in place to guide our interactions within the institutional framework. The Academic Catalog is the primary and official source for all degree programs and requirements as well as institutional policies and procedures. Some policies and procedures, however, are defined and administered by individual colleges and departments. Students are responsible for following all policies, but are encouraged to seek assistance from their academic advisors whenever questions arise.

Academic Catalog and Policies
The majority of University policies and procedures are organized in the academic catalog. Students are held to the policies and degree requirements outlined in their specific catalog year.
Advising Roles and Responsibilities
Academic advising is a collaborative relationship between a student and an academic advisor. The intent of this collaboration is to assist the student in developing meaningful educational goals that are consistent with personal interests, values and abilities.
Codes of Conduct
In order to protect the integrity of the campus community, all students are held to the Code of Academic Integrity and Code of Conduct.
College Policies and Procedures
Are you filing a General Petition, a Grade Appeal, or a Late Change Petition and you need your college Dean’s approval? While all colleges follow university policies, the procedures vary across colleges. Links to college-specific information for key policies and procedures are listed below.
Double Dipping

Policy and Procedure Updates
