If the student submits the request to the Registrar, it becomes effective on the day it is entered by the Registrar's Office. If the request is made via the Web, it becomes effective on the following business day. Once the student places a hold on the release of directory information, the restriction remains in effect permanently, unless rescinded by the student. For this reason, students are encouraged to review their demographic data periodically. In the event that no restriction is filed either in writing to the Registrar or via the Web, the university will assume that the student does not object to the release of directory information.
Students have the right to join associations and are free to promote their common interests.
This includes the right to become affiliated with any recognized student organization without discrimination or prejudice regarding race, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation or gender, although fraternities and sororities are exempt from the restriction of discrimination due to gender. Students have the right to participate in the governance of the university through the Student Government Association. In accord with university policy, for all classroom courses, a syllabus must be distributed in written form beginning on the first day of class. The dean of the college is responsible for implementing the syllabus requirements. Students shall be represented at all departmental meetings by at least one full-time student majoring in the appropriate discipline.
