The following college academic procedures, policies, and guidelines apply to all students and all college sessions. Students are responsible for determining their academic programs and for meeting every degree requirement. Faculty or professional staff who act as advisers are obligated only to assist students in meeting this responsibility. Clarification of any requirements for the baccalaureate degree may be obtained from the academic adviser, department chair, or academic dean. The Academic Standards Office can provide clarification on other regulations and procedures. A non-exhaustive list of highlighted academic policies is provided on the Academic Affairs website.
