Students are responsible for learning the conventions of documentation and acknowledgment of sources required in academic discourse. Copies of the Academic Integrity Code are available from the Office of the University Registrar. Student Responsibility Students assume financial and academic responsibility for each course for which they register. Refunds, cancellation of charges, and release from courses are governed by the refund and withdrawal policies stated in this publication and in the university catalog. Unless a course is canceled by the university, charges for it remain in effect and the student continues to be responsible for completing it until the student drops the course or withdraws from the university.
Students are also responsible for properly registering for the courses they intend to take.
Attending class and completing the required work do not constitute an official registration. The appropriate forms for these actions must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar. The date on which the Registrar receives the student's written notification of drop or withdrawal is the effective date on which academic action, refunds, and cancellation of charges are based. Discontinuing attendance in class or notifying an instructor of a status change does not constitute an official withdrawal or course change. Whenever a course is repeated, each attempt, including the final grade, is entered separately on the permanent academic record.
