Academic Advising
Because education is a uniquely personal experience, it is the responsibility of each student (1) to know the degree requirements for their own course of study; (2) to know the rules, regulations, and deadlines which govern the academic programs which are published in this catalog; (3) to develop and follow schedules which comply with these course and program requirements; and, (4) to ensure all final official transcripts are submitted to the institution. The University's faculty, advisors, and staff support each student's education in every way they can, but students must assume final responsibility to establish the timeline for advancing and completing their course of study, to register themselves or provide approval for registration by the institution for the appropriate courses, and to complete all degree requirements. Students are also responsible for knowing and adhering to all University policies published in The Student Handbook. Registration in the University confirms students' acceptance of these obligations.
