Each student must fulfill all general, procedural, and specific requirements and abide by all pertinent academic regulations in order to earn a degree at Franciscan University. It is the student's responsibility to learn the requirements, policies, and procedures governing the program being followed and to act accordingly. Students should understand that an advisor's signature indicates only that the advisor has been consulted, not that the advisor necessarily agrees with the decision or action of the student . No student will be permitted to enter upon the study of any subject if, in the opinion of the instructor and with the approval of the Dean of the Faculty, the preparation necessary to insure competent work is lacking. Every student is required to satisfy the instructor in each course of study, in such a way as the instructor may determine that the work of the course is being performed in a satisfactory manner.
Assignments are due when specified by the instructor.
Instructors will periodically report to the Dean of the Faculty the names of students whose attendance or work is unsatisfactory. With the approval of the Dean of the Faculty, instructors may at any time dismiss from a course any student who, in their judgment, has neglected the course work. A student thus excluded will be recorded as having failed in the course, unless the instructor determines otherwise. The University fosters a policy of student participation in which all students are expected to attend every course class for which they are registered. Regular and punctual class attendance is a privilege extended to capable, qualified men and women who have indicated their desire to be responsible members of the University community.
