STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

It is the responsibility of the student to become informed and to observe all regulations and procedures required by the University, the Graduate Catalog, and the program the student is pursuing. The student is responsible for reading the Graduate Catalog, all contracts for employment, the terms and conditions of any awards and correspondence from the various offices of the University. Each student who intends to present a thesis or dissertation in completion of a degree must acquire and read the guide to writing a thesis or dissertation. The student is responsible for ascertaining his or her academic standing and grade-point average. While the Graduate School attempts to notify students regarding any problems in the student’s progress toward a degree, the student alone is responsible for maintaining satisfactory academic standing and progress.

Ignorance of a rule does not constitute a basis for waiving that rule.
