Academic Policies

Students are responsible for being aware of academic policies. Students and faculty should note that some graduate policies differ from the undergraduate academic policies posted online in the College’s academic catalog. When downloading the PDF, you may navigate to specific topic headers by viewing the bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Please refer to the Graduate Academic Policy Document.
