Student Relations Advising Faculty members are expected to advise students in planning their academic programs. Other issues, such as choice of a major, career opportunities, tutorial help, and improvement of study skills are commonly dealt with by counseling services on each campus. Absences from Class A faculty member will deal directly with a student with respect to the student's brief absences from class for any cause. Exclusion of Students from Class A faculty member may limit enrollment in any class to students with adequate preparation. There are Universitywide student disciplinary policies applicable to academic misconduct.
Procedures regarding how a faculty member handles academic misconduct vary from campus to campus.
Occasionally, faculty members may receive various kinds of social invitations from student organizations, such as invitations to dinner or requests to participate in group activities or to serve as advisors to student organizations. Any such participation on the part of faculty members is appreciated by the student group and encouraged by the University. The disclosure of information from student records is largely governed by State and Federal law. University policy has been developed to provide reasonable interpretations of those laws. Without the written consent of the student, disclosure of confidential information from student records to faculty members is limited to those records in which the faculty member has a legitimate educational interest.
