Because the University is constantly changing, the information is not to be regarded as creating a binding contract between the student and the school. A student may petition the Academic Standards Committee for the waiver of a University regulation when extraordinary conditions indicate such a waiver is in the student's best educational interest. Some requirements are not petitionable. Changes go into effect whenever the proper authorities so determine and apply not only to prospective students, but also to those who, at that time, are matriculated at the University. The University also reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant, to dismiss when formal academic action is taken by the Academic Standards Committee, to discontinue the enrollment of any student when personal actions are detrimental to the University community, to discontinue enrollment of a student in violation of the Student Integrity Code, or to request withdrawal of a student whose continuance in the University would be detrimental to his or her health or to the health of others.
Every effort is made to be fair and reasonable in the application of the rules.
