				specific requirements or policies that relate to an individual program.

								Policy
This catalog is a guide to the
				programs, policies, and courses that are part of undergraduate life at Bowling
				Green state university, a complex learning community. Students need to be aware
				of opportunities and requirements at several levels to guarantee that they take
				advantage of all that Bowling Green has to offer and can make steady progress
				toward academic goals.
The university comprises seven
				undergraduate colleges, which are subdivided into schools, departments, and
				programs. Faculty create and offer the courses that students take to fulfill
				academic requirements for undergraduate degrees. The colleges are responsible
				for the integrity of degree programs based on the academic fields. All degrees
				are conferred officially by the university. Students satisfy requirements at
				the university, college, and major/specialization levels. Students may also be
				involved with academic programs that are supervised by the office of the
				provost and vice president for academic affairs. In addition, students have
				periodic contact with the bursar's office, admissions office, office of student
				financial aid, and office of registration and records.
