Overview

The university’s official Undergraduate Academic Policies are updated and published each year in Academic Regulations, and distributed to every student. All students are expected to obtain copies of these regulations and familiarize themselves with the content, since failure to be aware of a provision does not excuse a student from adhering to it. On the other hand, whenever a student feels that some special circumstance warrants an exception to a regulation, that student is encouraged to discuss the situation with his or her academic dean who may be able to help work out an alternative.

Some of the more important aspects of the Undergraduate Academic Policies are summarized below; check the latest edition of Academic Regulations for specific details.
