To improve the quality of the undergraduate programs, graduation requirements are periodically changed. Since the changes to the curriculum are hopefully for the better, students may wish to obtain the most recent copy of the undergraduate catalog and review the newest graduation requirements. Special rules apply to students who transfer credit to UMR, and students who interrupt their studies. Section 3.1 Catalog Years describes in detail how the university decides which catalog students will use for graduation. A Schedule of Classes is published each semester that describes which courses are offered, their reference numbers, meeting times, locations, section letters, and other information.
Instructors have the authority to drop a student from a class because of absences.
More than one version of the Schedule of Classes exists for each semester. Based on the results of priority registration, some sections of classes may be added, dropped, or changed. A revised schedule containing these changes is published just prior to the regular registration period at the beginning of the semester. This report can be viewed as an annotated transcript. It documents all courses the student has taken and the grades received in these courses.
